How PMM Agency CEO Kimbery Blackwell Went from Side Hustle to Multimillionaire Marketer

It wasn’t until three or four years into her side hustle that Kimberly Blackwell, CEO of the award-winning PMM Agency based in Columbus, Ohio, took the leap of faith and struck out on her own as an entrepreneur. Until then, the Cincinnati native was working for a big company in marketing while building what she never imagined would become her full-time business. And when Kimberly finally went for it, she did so from the confines of her one-bedroom apartment, though her mindset enabled her to think much bigger. What has sustained her and her business – which works with companies such as Nationwide, Toyota and Fed Ex – for nearly 20 years? Her faith, her natural affinity for people, her competitive nature, her desire to always over-deliver and, as she says, being a “pay-it-forward kind of chick.”

On this episode, Kimberly talks about the importance of paying attention to the points of reveal, why you’re only as strong as your network, why those networks should be diverse, how, as a marketer and creator, you have to speak the love language of your audience, and why – when it comes to personal branding — you have to remember that you have a brand with your boss and you have a brand with your bae.
