Hire a branding agency that understands your industry and can really speak to your brand
messaging and help you launch in the right way.
You have to hit the pavement hard and you have to hustle and you just have to go out and do it.
Welcome to the Boss Babe podcast, a place where we share with you the real behind the scenes of
building successful businesses, achieving peak performance and learning how to balance it all.
I'm Natalie Ellis, co-founder and CEO of Boss Babe and your host for this week's podcast episode.
So this week I am interviewing Ali Grant, the founder of BeSocial. Ali launched BeSocial in 2012 as one of the first agencies executing
integrated influencer outreach and collaboration. Today, the communications group is headquartered
in downtown LA, specializing in digital forward campaigns for lifestyle, wellness,
and beauty brands and talent. BeSocial has been named one of Inc.'s fastest growing businesses, spearheading digital campaigns across influencers, events,
and editorial. To further expand on the mission to build the next generation of brands and
entrepreneurs, BeSocial has launched social series and in real life event series to build and connect
offline, which I love. I think any excuse to get off our phones and meet people in real life is incredible.

What a great intro. I'm so excited to be here and talk with you today.
Super excited. I want to go back to the beginning.
So what in 2012 made you decide to start an agency?
Yeah, I know.
It's kind of crazy because agency life is very hectic and very stressful.
But I knew from a very early age that I wanted to own an agency.
And I can't really tell you what or why I thought that.
I don't even think I really knew what an agency was. But back in 2012, I was recently out of
college. I had worked in a public relations firm, at the time was working in a social media agency.
And it's kind of the start of influencer collaborations. At the time, we were mostly
doing more affiliate marketing. So we were sending product to bloggers and having them utilize different promo codes for them to make affiliate commissions and doing a lot of fun stuff with like Twitter and Facebook and not so much quite yet on Instagram. where brands could really activate. And so as the agency kind of shifted more into website building
and Facebook and Twitter, I saw an opportunity to kind of go out and do my own thing and really
focus, hyper-focus on influencer marketing, Instagram opportunities, and kind of pair
my background in editorial and media with these new media platforms. And so I just did that. I
used my savings to start a website and then hit the ground running to try and get clients and
kind of just grew from there. That's incredible. And I'm sure it wasn't the easiest journey from
deciding to do this and to where you are now. So what does that really look like? What's been some
of the hard moments you've had? For sure. I mean, I think the biggest challenge was that I hadn't done it
before. And I was 23, 24 years old. I was really young. I hadn't had a lot of professional experience.
But what I did have was drive and passion. And I had this idea that I thought was very exciting and kind of new for the agency landscape.
So I really think my excitement was what drove all of this.
But I had no capital to this day.
I have not taken capital.
I own the company 100%.
Literally to fund essentially my website and some of the small office supplies I needed, I was selling my
Tory Burch flats and kind of selling some of the things in my closet to be able to afford it. So
I literally launched this company with maybe a couple thousand dollars to my name. And I really
was hopeful that it would grow from there. And thank goodness it did. But I think a
big challenge was being so young, not having tons of experience and not having any money. So I really
had to be extremely scrappy. And how did you get started with influencer partnerships and building
those relationships? Yeah, I mean, it had started at that, you know, social agency that I had been
working on. I worked on a handful of
different accounts and swimwear and accessories and home decor, kind of like lifestyle fashion.
And so I really like it was the start of influencer collaboration. So I was emailing
Peace Love Shay at the time about sending her a bikini and having her post about it. So I had just
started making these
relationships because I was working with all of these brands in that capacity. And I was one of
the few people really doing that at the time. And so I guess I kind of got known for doing that.
And then as I launched my own company and had my own clients, really, I think I was on the grounds
of the launches and the openings and really just,
I went to all the events. I really got myself out there. I was really good at networking
and putting my name out there. And through that, I was able to make really organic,
long-lasting relationships. And I think that's been a real key to success for us is that
our team does have such strong relationships across editorial and
influencers. And I think that's so important in all that we do. I love that. But as an outsider
listening in, I'm like, I really want to do that. But it can be so tiring to go to all the events
to remember to follow up with everyone to maintain those relationships. I remember seeing the funniest
meme of just like people
trying to balance all of this stuff. And I feel like it can be really, really hard. So how do you
do that? Yeah, I think we talked about this too. It's like about balance. It's like, it's very
difficult. But at the time of starting my company, like my main focus was my business. And so I
definitely let a lot of things on the side fall. So I started
my business, I was in my mid 20s. I mean, at that time and age, a lot of my friends were going out
and out on the town and having fun and being young. And I definitely took some sacrifices
there and that I was at home, I was working on things. I was helping clients. I was really taking on a lot.
And so I think my personal life,
I certainly took some sacrifices.
And I think if you want to start your own business
and you want to have it be successful,
you're going to have to juggle it all.
And especially in those first few years
when people don't know your name,
they don't know who you are,
like you have to hit the pavement hard and you have to hustle and you just have to go out and do it. If any type of business
you have is going to be about relationships and for people to meet you and know you and understand
what you're all about, you have to go to the networking events. You have to get out there.
You have to follow up. So I think that's key to success. And it's just kind of part of it. And you have to be ready for it.
Yeah, totally. And was there a tipping point in your business where you started to think,
okay, I think this could work. I'm doing something that's worthwhile now.
Yeah, I mean, that was pretty much right away. I was like, okay, I was getting all of these new
inquiries for business. I was making a name for myself. Things kept growing quarter after quarter. I saw other
agencies similar to mine kind of start popping up. So I knew I was onto something. But I mean,
in the early years, I was so exhausted because I was just working nonstop. But I knew as long as I could power through,
as long as I could make enough money to build out a team, I really saw like a light at the
end of the tunnel. And I think I was really feeling like I was onto something.
I love that. And did you start to hire a team pretty early on?
Yeah, I did. And I worked with interns to begin with. And then when I finally had enough
income to hire someone that was extremely exciting. And so my team now today is such a huge
asset and big part of our success. But it also has been, you know, one of the biggest challenges for
me because I had launched this business with like very minimal management experience. And so I think I've learned
a lot of lessons throughout the years on what to do and what not to do. And I'm still growing in
that way. And so what lessons have you learned as a kind of being a CEO, as opposed to a solopreneur?
What has it been like to manage a team? I'm asking selfishly, because I'm also going through
that. And it's a big learning lesson. Yeah, I mean, I think it's really difficult. And I think the biggest challenge for me is like, I'm kind of
like a head down. I'm really independent. I would say like, I just get my stuff done. I don't need
a lot of like management or handholding. And so as a manager, I assume everyone that works for me
is going to be similar to me. And that's not the case. Everyone requires a different management style. And you really have to like understand your employees
and what motivates them and what excites them and allows them to be the best they can be.
And I think realizing that and understanding that takes a lot of time and experience. And I think
without actually learning and having failures and figuring all this
out a long way, it's pretty difficult to get this right the first time. And I think any manager,
first time manager will tell you how difficult it is. And it really comes with years of experience.
So I really continue to say I'm still learning and I wish I could be better. But I'm putting
people on my team in
place that are very strong managers. And I think it is a skill set that not everyone has. I like
to say I'm more of like a dreamer and a creator and a doer versus like the people person. So I
think that, you know, putting someone in place on my team that's really that people person has been
such a game changer for our company. That's such a good tip
about really like leaning into your strengths and not trying to do something that perhaps just
doesn't feel super aligned for you. Yeah. Really, really important. And so is there anything like
beyond that that's been actionable for you? Like, do you have one-to-ones with people in a certain
way or do you give feedback in a certain way that's been helpful? Yeah. I mean, I think listening to your employees and allowing them to have a voice is extremely important. We also creating a funnel
or a channel of communication is extremely important. In my early days, I was the CEO,
but I was top to bottom talking to every employee and delegating and them reporting into me, which is a huge mistake.
You really need to create a communication plan. You need to have managers in place that
then report to you. I think when you're a CEO and you're talking to a new assistant on a team,
that can cause them to spiral and be stressed out. And there needs to be some sort of formal
communication plan in place that kind of
stops that and allows people to have someone they look up to without having to directly report to
the CEO. So kind of putting that like hierarchy in place has been extremely beneficial as well.
Yeah, I can second that. That's a game changer. Okay, so I want to pivot. One thing that Be
Social is so incredible at is influencer
partnership. It's obviously one thing that you were doing before pretty much anyone else was
doing it. And so for brands now, perhaps brands that are launching this year, and they've never
worked with influencers before, what are the tips to really getting started with influencer marketing?
It's a good question. I always say it's not too late to start. The influencer industry is continuously growing. Brands are spending more and more money in this
space. So it's a great time to get involved. As a new brand, I think the biggest tip is to do your
research and do your homework and to create a, I guess, like a influencer identity that really resonates with your brand and build
a list of influencers that match that. So if it's content that's really important to you or
their location or the types of things that they post about, creating a list of influencers with
all their contact information is kind of step one. And then from there would just be simply emailing them or DMing them and
really having like a tailored pitch that doesn't feel blanketed, doesn't feel like everyone else
is getting it. And really like speaks to the reasoning as to why they should partner with you
or why they should promote your business. I think what's happening right now in the landscape is
that just all these
influencers are inundated with so many brand emails and things like that. And people are just
blasting information to them. So I think take a step back and be more like calculated about who
you're reaching out to and what you're saying to them. And I think you'll stand out. And what about
on the other side, if you're perhaps an influencer that wants to start doing more brand partnerships, what should they be doing?
Yeah, I mean, literally the same thing.
I think if there's a brand that you're dying to work with, like say it's L'Oreal, obviously
introducing yourself to them is step one.
And finding the proper contact information of the person at the brand.
People always ask me how.
I would just go to
LinkedIn and find out who handles influencer marketing for this brand you're trying to get
in touch with. And before doing that, in some capacity, share the brand organically. Maybe
it's an Instagram story or YouTube or whatever. Just have some piece of content that shows,
hey, look, I've shared your brand. Here were the results from it.
And this is what I want to do with your brand in the future. And start small, not one cold email
to a brand isn't going to result in a $10,000 deal. But it could result in gifting and invitation to
an event down the line. And then maybe when they do have paid partnerships opening up,
they'll think of you because they've
been talking to you and you've showed, you know, some love to the brand in the past.
But again, like, you know, making sure you have that tailored pitch and that whatever
you're saying really resonates with like the brand's mission.
Let's take a quick pause to talk about my new favorite all-in-one platform, Kajabi.
You know, I've been singing their praises lately because they have helped our business
run so much smoother and with way less complexity which I love. Not to mention our team
couldn't be happier because now everything is in one place so it makes collecting data, creating
pages, collecting payment, all the things so much simpler. One of our mottos at Boss Babe is simplify
to amplify and Kajabi has really helped us do that this year.
So of course I needed to share it here with you. It's the perfect time of year to do a bit of spring
cleaning in your business, you know, get rid of the complexity and instead really focus on getting
organized and making things as smooth as possible. I definitely recommend Kajabi to all of my clients
and students. So if you're listening and haven't checked out Kajabi yet
now is the perfect time to do so because they are offering Boss Babe listeners a 30-day free trial
go to kajabi.com slash boss babe to claim your 30-day free trial that's kajabi.com slash boss
babe yeah I love that and I think definitely searching for someone on LinkedIn as opposed
to just dropping a DM I think can be so powerful powerful. Yeah. I love that you said that. Okay. So let's pivot back to the brand side. So you're
a brand, say you're a skincare brand and you're really wanting to work with influencers. So you're
starting to reach out there. What else could you be doing to grow your brand online, say,
especially for a product-based business? Yeah, obviously, influencer marketing is key. I think launching
with some sort of mailer or getting the product in influencers' hands is really key. I also think
events are important. So if you're a new brand, I highly recommend some sort of launch event.
Los Angeles is a great place for an influencer event. New York is great for an editorial event.
Also just doing editorial outreach to digital outlets is extremely important as well.
And then your social media presence is so important. If you're a new brand in the skincare beauty space and you're trying to get influencers and media interested in you,
I mean, the first thing that they're going to look at is probably your Instagram page over your website. So I would really, you know, encourage investing in content
and really curating Instagram feed that portrays what you're all about. I think that's a huge
miss to go straight into influencer marketing, and you don't really have a game plan for your
personal Instagram and social media channels. So you were going to launch with an event in LA. How do you make sure influencers
are actually going to want to attend? Because I feel like they probably get invites to so many
different events all the time. I know it's extremely competitive. In terms of like what
our team does, we definitely like will sniff out all the things that are going on on a particular
date to make sure we're not competing with like the most exciting event of the year.
So that's super key.
So just kind of checking out what else is going on on that day.
Definitely has something, a location that's super central and easy to get to.
I always say West Hollywood is really nice for Los Angeles events because it's kind of
a central location.
And make it, you make it different and unique.
And what is the takeaway there?
Are people learning about your brand?
Are you bringing in an esthetician to do mini treatments?
Some sort of way that allows them to discover your product in a way that's not just like,
here's a gift bag of the product.
Obviously, food and drinks are exciting too.
So something there, some form of like an
entertainment, music, esthetician, something along those lines. And then just make sure like the
decor and certain elements really match what your brand is all about. And I think the biggest reason
people are doing these events is to garner impressions for your brand. So make sure you
have some sort of Instagrammable moment, whether that's
a step and repeat, a floral wall, because that will encourage people to be posting and tagging
and driving attention and awareness to your brand. Got it. And I think as well in the beginning,
it can be quite hard to decide where to spend your money. So whether you go and put them into
performance marketing, like ads, and you see a direct ROI,
or perhaps you do an event, do you see a direct ROI with the event? Or is it more brand marketing,
and you hope that it generates revenue in the longer term?
It really depends. I think there's a handful of reasons to do events. Really what we're seeing,
obviously, like the impressions are massive at events, because you're getting all of this organic content coming
through that you're not paying these people to post. And so many of them will post at your event.
So you will see like an uplift in your social media following, traffic to your website.
And also if it's like a really big, like splashy launch of a product, we will see an uptick in sales of that particular product.
So you're getting like a handful of things. Also, just content too. So you know, getting people in
your space with your product, have a photographer there, making sure they're creating content.
So you're getting more than just you know, the impressions, it kind of just depends on like how
the event flow is. Got it. Okay. And so beyond the influencer
marketing and events, are there any other digital strategies you think are really,
really important when you're in that build phase of your business? Yeah. I mean, we mostly focus
on like organic techniques. So in the influencer, social and editorial space, but like what you
mentioned, performance marketing, I think is also really key. But before you do any of this stuff, my biggest piece of advice would be get a really good
branding agency.
Nothing like kills me more when I see a brand spending like $20,000 on influencer campaigns
and their logo and their branding and their packaging is the worst thing I've ever seen.
I think that is such
a miss and I don't know why it keeps happening, but hire a branding agency that understands your
industry and can really speak to your brand messaging and help you launch in the right way.
I feel like that's my biggest piece of advice. Yeah, I think that's so true. And people don't want to share things that are ugly. Yeah. Right.
It's so true. I love it. Okay. And so let's pivot to the event series that Be Social is
going to be launching. It's so interesting. It's called Social Series. What is it?
Yeah. So we actually did our first one a few weeks ago and we partnered with Shopify
and we held an event in downtown LA at the Shopify space. And it was a beauty panel. So
we had about six beauty entrepreneurs do a panel, kind of just talking about, you know, the launch
of their brand and what they needed to get started. And we had about 100 people in the room,
budding entrepreneurs, people who wanted to start their own product. And it was so like magical,
just like seeing this like room of all these people just learning and absorbing. And I felt
like really good after the event. So that was our first one. We're looking to do another one coming
up here soon, hopefully more in like the wellness fitness and like landscape. But yeah, I mean,
I think we do so much stuff online and so many of our
relationships are digital relationships. I really wanted to build something that was in real life
and brought together all of the things that we do as a company and allowed these entrepreneurs
that we're helping day to day to tell their story to a crowd in real life. So I'm hoping we can do
more of them. It's kind of like a side hustle passion project right now,
but it felt really good to do.
And hopefully there's more to come.
Yeah.
And I think there's something to be said
for actually bringing people together in real life.
It's not done enough.
We're so like consumed with our phones
and networking online.
It's so much nicer to be able to meet people in person.
I agree.
It was shocking. It was like so different. Like, I to meet people in person I agree it was shocking
it was like so different like I mean people have their phones out and stuff but it's like
real conversations in person like it's taking it back a step and I really enjoyed it and I love
that it's really geared towards people wanting to start businesses because I think one really
important thing for anyone in business is having community around you of people
that understand you and can support you because if you don't have that I mean it's very easy to
go crazy so I love that can you talk a little bit about what a typical day looks like for you
yeah definitely so I work kind of like around the clock I am such a workaholic. I love work. I think working actually balances me. So I have
to be doing it. Like everyone listening is like, yep, that's me. Yep, exactly. Exactly. It's like,
that's why we're entrepreneurs. But yeah, I mean, I'm actually I love to sleep in. So I don't wake
up super early. I wish I could, but I just can't. So I usually wake up around 7, 7.30, take my dog for
a walk, get my coffee, kind of just like unwind in the morning. And then our office is downtown.
So I get in my car, put some podcasts on and get to the office. And then from there, it's just like
literally back to back. So phone calls, conference calls, podcasts like this,
meetings with the team. So it's, it's pretty chaotic. I really don't have like a break
to catch up on emails, but when I do, that's, I guess kind of what I'm working on. So I'll have
like hundreds of emails a day, which is, I feel like all I do is like, I'm a professional emailer.
So kind of catching up on all of that. You know,
I travel a lot too. I go to New York a lot for meetings. But I don't know, it's just it's kind
of like a chaotic day. But work wise, that's it. And then after the work day, I always try to work
out. I think that's kind of where I unwind and kind of like my self love self care time. And
then from there, commute home and then probably hop on email again. That's kind of like my self-love self-care time and then from there commute home and then probably hop on
email again that's kind of like my normal day I'm such a workaholic I'm trying to take a step back
on stuff but I am in such the like build build build mode right now it's like I can't not be
like in this grind and I enjoy it so it's all good and I think a lot of people as well talk
about not wanting to do the hustle
and have balance all the time, which I do agree balance is important, but I don't think it's
possible to not have that work ethic and still be successful. What do you think about that?
Yeah. I mean, I think people who want to like work for themselves because it's like,
they're sick of corporate life and the hustle and the grind. Like, let me tell you, stop right now because it is much easier working for someone else. It's much more carefree.
You don't have as much stress. So if you're wanting to be an entrepreneur, be ready for it
to be the most stressful thing you do. And you have to work around the clock and you have to
hustle and grind more than you ever have. There's obviously
you have some freedoms of like when you start and all of that, but it's also this pressure of,
I need to start now because this is like my livelihood. This is my income. So definitely
make sure whatever you're getting yourself into that you love it because it's going to be what
consumes you all the time.
Okay. So I want to talk about you. So we've talked about kind of what your routine looks like,
but I want to talk about specific products too, because you know, so many incredible beauty
brands that I feel like you must know the best product. So I want to know what should I be using?
Tell me everything. Oh my gosh. Okay. Well, I think the biggest beauty tip is wearing sunscreen.
So I love super goop sunscreen. That is my favorite. I love all the stuff that they make.
So that is key to youth. I also think making sure you get consistent facials is really important.
I go to Shawnee Darden. I love her. I also love all of her products. Another thing to
taking care of your hair health. I use T3 hair tools. They literally are the best and allow you
to get like that beachy wavy curl that I love. Washing your face a lot. That's super important.
I love IS clinical face wash. It's my favorite. I love these specifics. So good. I'm making so
many notes. Yeah. I mean, what, like what problems do you have you have like you have no problems I want to know
all the best skincare and all the best things for my hair okay so funny you talk about hair
because we're launching a hair care line with one of the talent here at Be Social. I can't say much about it, but I'm very excited
about that. Your first product. Yeah. So exciting. I know it's like, I'm so nervous, but I'm so
excited too, but it'll be, it'll be really good. So when that comes out, I'll send you that. But
for now I would say, I mean, I really like Living Proof. I feel like all of their hair care products are pretty good.
I love The Way.
Dry Bar has some good ones too.
Skincare, I'm really big on IS Clinical.
I think it's IS Clinical or is Clinical.
I'm not entirely sure.
I love all of their stuff.
Also, Pharmacy Beauty.
It's more on the natural side.
I really like their products as well.
So anything from there is kind of like perfect. And
they have like everything from like cleansing balms to masks to like everything you need.
I would say for someone who travels a lot, making sure you're hydrating, so drinking water. And then
I always wear the Summer Friday mask, the jet lag one whenever I'm on the airplane, I like slather it on because
I get so dry from flying. So I feel like that's really helped too. Yeah, I was going to ask her
travel tips. I also love the Summer Fridays mask. It's amazing. It's so good. Mariana really did a
good job. Yeah, and I think that's such a great example of how an influencer can build a long
standing brand. So they're not always
relying on partnerships and brand deals. Like they can build something from the ground up that's got
longevity. Totally. I see that to all the influencers we represent. It's obviously these
brand partnerships are so exciting, but you know, build something that you own because at the end
of the day, you don't even own your Instagram account. So I think it's building something that you believe in, whether that's a website or a product or whatever,
a service. I think that's so key to your long-term success and utilizing your social footprint to
really drive success of that brand or product. Yeah, totally. And when it comes to building
something you own, obviously, like you said, you don't own your Instagram following and you have no control over the algorithm. What do you tell influencers? Should they be building their email list? Should they be getting on TikTok? Like what would you, what advice would you have for influencers right now. I just started playing around with it and I feel like it's taking off again, but I do always tell our talent to diversify. So Instagram is great. Obviously there's tons
of money to be made. That's a very highly engaged platform right now. But at the end of the day,
like I said, you don't own it. So build a website, have a blog, start a YouTube channel,
build an email list. You know, there's other things that you
can start building. So you have this essentially this media empire and you don't have to rely on
just your Instagram following. You have all these other things that support that. So that's super
key. I mean, I think you're a great example of that. You guys have this amazing social following,
but you also have this like highly trafficked website. So in a podcast,
you're really building and diversifying your portfolio. I'm not on TikTok yet. I don't know.
We'll see. I think it seems like a lot of work. Yeah. It's like confusing. I mean,
it's definitely for like a younger generation, but I feel like brands are starting to move there.
I feel like the engagement's really high on it. It's kind of interesting. It's fun. Yeah. I'll let you know. I'll let you know if I get on that one. Well, thank you so much for
being on this podcast. This was so much fun. Where can everyone find out about the social series and
also just follow you to keep up today? I definitely want to know when the haircare is launching.
Tell me everything. Yeah. So our Instagram for Be Social is just at Be Social Group.
And then our website has kind of all the information about our clients and what we're doing.
My personal Instagram is just Allie Grant, A-L-I Grant.
And then the haircare line, I think you'll see more of that hopefully in the spring.
So that will be extremely exciting.
Yay.
Amazing.
Thank you so much.
