Her unique fusion of artistic sensibility and sharp business acumen sets her agency apart in a crowded marketplace.Before embarking on the digital marketing adventure, Janette excelled in the world of photography. For more than a decade, she captured everything from intimate wedding moments and joyful family reunions to compelling brand stories, using her lens to connect with people and their narratives. It's this innate ability to understand and resonate with individuals that Janette leverages in her marketing campaigns, imbuing them with sincerity and depth.Space Creatorz has made a mark, boasting a diverse and impressive clientele that includes major CPG brands, film festivals, tech leaders, and luxurious rental properties, among others. The agency thrives under her leadership, managing over a million dollars in ad campaigns, serving a multitude of satisfied customers, and nurturing a dedicated team of 20 professionals.However, for Janette and Steve, Space Creatorz isn't solely about impressive metrics or prestigious client lists. They established the agency with a heartfelt philosophy in mind: work should be enriching. It should be a source of growth, satisfaction, and real joy, not just a means to an end. This principle is deeply rooted in their collective experiences within the stark landscape of less-than-inspiring work cultures.Beyond her business endeavors, Janette channels her passion into "Cool, Calm, & Rich," a podcast dedicated to discussing practical self-care, energy preservation, and achieving success without the stress.Yet, for all her professional achievements, Janette's favorite role is a deeply personal one: being a devoted mother to her five-year-old son, a job she holds dearer than any other.In essence, Janette Downie's professional journey transcends conventionJoin This Mother Means Business : www.thismothermeansbusiness.com Laura's Links:• Website • Laura's Instagram • LinkedIn • Facebook • Pinterest • TikTok
