After growing their Instagram following to over 100k during the lockdown, EA Home Design founders Ali and Kevin skyrocketed their brand despite a severe economic downturn.

With internet use at record levels throughout the lockdown, EA Home Design was able to reach people through Instagram and social media while they stayed at home and spent more time online.

Having explored social media to enhance their brand’s visibility, Ali and Kevin decided to create a strategy to help elevate their company’s identity in the eyes of potential clients. And despite the nationwide lockdown, they were able to invest more time in developing their videos and photography so that they could build their audience and distribute high quality content.

Combining photography with in-depth videos, the founders succeeded in gaining viral growth on Instagram despite the difficult challenges that lay ahead of them. With a consistent approach to their posting, they were able to take EA Home Design to new audiences interested in a variety of topics associated with home decoration and design.

From the latest modular kitchen design to spice racks, EA Home Design provides a range of services, and creates high value content that engages homeowners to give them a deeper insight into how they work. This in turn has helped them forge stronger relationships with potential new clients – who have helped spread the word about their designs to even larger audiences.

When discussing the growth of their account, Ali Meshksar said that connecting with the Instagram community had been a game-changer for the business in that for the first time, they had people talking about them without having to go to market in the traditional way such as sending fliers and doing direct mailings.

Because of social media, companies now have access to audiences instantly, and with people statistically spending more time online, there’s never been a bigger opportunity than now to build an online community.

Coco Glow Redefines Success on Natalie Massaro Terms

The American Dream whispers promises of opportunity, but for first-generation children, it can also carry a heavy weight of expectation. Natalie Massaro, the visionary behind Coco Glow, knows this firsthand. “There was an unspoken pressure to succeed,” Natalie explains. “Failure wasn’t an option.” This fueled a relentless work ethic in her – juggling two jobs while in school, a constant drive to excel that burned brightly within her.

This drive initially led the SheEO down a traditional path. But a different passion, simmering beneath the surface, tugged at her – a love for beauty and skincare. Stemming from her own experiences navigating body image as a woman with curves in a world often fixated on a single standard of beauty, Natalie knew there was a different narrative to be told.

It was a leap of faith, fueled by unwavering determination, which led Natalie to trade in the traditional path for entrepreneurship. in 2019, Coco Glow was born out of her Jersey Shore apartment. Today she has a staff of talented contour artists and is currently expanding into a second location. The recent introduction of teeth whitening hints at a future where Coco Glow offers a complete canvas for radiant beauty.

“Always find your why,” is Natalie’s mantra. Inspired by her parents’ unwavering work ethic, a constant reminder that “no one can fail if you are consistently showing up every day,” Natalie poured her heart and soul into Coco Glow. Entrepreneurship, it seems, runs in her blood. Her father’s success was a testament to the power of hard work and dedication, values that now echo in Coco Glow’s leadership. Her commitment to exceptional service is a direct reflection of the “show up every day” mindset.

A testament to the American Dream – reimagined for a new generation. It’s about defying expectations, forging your own path, and leaving your mark. It’s about finding your “why” and turning it into something beautiful, one sun-kissed client at a time. And witnessing the boost of confidence in each client who walks out the door is its own reward.

“Every client is understood, their wants and needs are adjusted to – your spray tan is the easiest part of your day” – perfectly represents her client-centric approach.
