Today we’d like to introduce you to Kirsten King.
Kirsten, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
My journey began when I started my business D30 Marketing & Promotions as party promoter & consultant for independent artists. Through the success of my venture, branding & building relationships, I was offered a position at the #1 radio station in the market as a radio host on Saturday nights. After I accepting the position I held the position for 2 years and began to have the desire to create my own separate podcast to further engage with my fan-base & also provide an alternate platform for my events to be advertised and the indie artists to be heard. Therefore, I resigned and started my own internet radio station & allowed others who had a desire to be radio hosts or have their own podcast join the movement and be heard. The support and response was so overwhelming and shocking, I knew I was on to something great. Year by year I continuously branded, incorporated new shows, & offer advertisement, show sponsorship and more offering the same as mainstream radio stations in the market.
After 3 years of operation we currently have over 100, 000 listeners and counting along with 5 successful shows on the platform.
Has it been a smooth road?
The road has definitely not been smooth, but I wouldn’t trade the course for anything in the world. It’s the struggles that made me stronger to in return make the brand more solid and reputable. I expect anything within business to have its ups & downs but it’s how you react to those obstacles that will determine the success of your business.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
