Steph Downman is the young woman behind the brand of SD Marketing and this dynamic business owner on the Cooloola Coast has big plans and is already getting big accolades.
She has just been featured in the Australian Business Journal alongside some of the best in the digital marketing business as one of the top 20 Australian Social Media Managers to work with in 2022 and said she was beyond thrilled to be included with such incredible talent.
Steph said she started her business because there was a gap in the industry within the region.
“As the social media world grows so does the need for business diversity. If you do not keep up with the ever-changing online world you will be left behind,” she explained.
“We have a passion for all things design, and love working one on one with all of our clients.”
Steph said her goal is to try to assist as many businesses as possible to redefine their brand, and help new start ups to create an elevated overall image from the start including a strong social media presence for any type of business.
“We want to help elevate the brand of all businesses that get in contact. No client is left unhappy.
“It is so important for small and large businesses to understand how social media makes up a large part of people’s lives these days. Advertising and running a business page are non-negotiable.”
She said there are numerous reasons a business may chose SD Marketing.
“They are either too busy to do it themselves, they want consistency within their schedules and the content being shared or they want custom curated content that is simply beyond their scope of work. We take these pressures away so they can do what they do best.”
Steph said what drives her is the happiness of her clients.
“Each and every one of them contact us and remind us how happy they are on a regular basis. That is what’s most important. We work for them, to make them look good.“
She said the best advise she has for business to organise their marketing and social media is to get on to social media and get in contact.
“We will chat about what you currently do, what you offer and where you want to be. “
She said they will tailor everything to the client and where their business needs to elevate.
“It’s okay if you don’t have time to do these things, but make sure you hire someone who can.”
The dream for Steph and SD Marketing is to grow into a full-service marketing agency to include custom web design, photography, videography, and they have a lot planned for the future.
She recently donated to and sponsored the Century 21 Platinum Agents 2022 Flood Thank You Party hosted by The Bunker Smokehouse and Bar with money raised to go to the SES and Rural Fire Service.
