Meet your creator biz BFF.
It’s me: Kristen
I’m your creator companion. ☻
I’ve basically made it my life mission to make a real change in the influencer industry, and that starts with you. As someone who’s seen it from both perspectives, I’m the shoulder you can lean on for honest education, genuine guidance, and support.
✦
Why I do what I do
Playing a part in helping people get what they want in life just feels like something I really *gotta* spend most of my life dedicated to. It’s my purpose and nothing makes me happier than watching it all come to fruition for you.
✷
I’m a little different cos
While this is my business, making as much money as fast as possible isn’t my mission — My overall goal at Soulcialmate is to help educate creators to make an actual change in the creator and influencer industry.
✦
I really, really believe in
The power of genuine community, 1:1 support, and having someone to hold your hand through the process. I’ve done it myself — three times now — so I know how challenging it can be. I want to be the support for you that I never had.
Why me?
There are plenty of coaches out there. Here’s what my experience has looked like.
-
✦ → In 2015, I started a hair/makeup/photography company, which I built into a 15+ person team and a 4k sq. ft. studio space.
✦ → In 2019, I sold this business for $100k to pursue social media full-time.
✦ → In 2019, I became a full-time creator working with brands like Crest, Shutterfly, and HelloFresh.
-
✦ → After realizing that there was a huge educational gap for creators looking to go full-time, I started coaching influencers.
✦ → In 2020, we realized that our coaching calls were getting popular enough to start a full-on business of it.
✦ → In 2021, we started our creator economy podcast, Soulcial Scoop.
✦ → Until 2022, we offered multiple different coaching options like group programs and mentorships.
✦ → When we realized that community was the most important aspect of our student’s success, we created the Soulcial Suite, a creator membership community.
-
✦ → In the last two years, I’ve been featured in publications such as Business Insider, Bloomberg News, and The New York Post.
✦ → In my time being a full-time creator, I’ve brought in over $400k in brand partnerships alone.
✦ → I’ve worked with some of the most well-known companies in the U.S. like SmileDirectClub, MTV, OLLY Nutrition, and many more.
✦ → In 2023, I was named one of Business Insiders “Creator Economy Experts to Know”
