Today we’d like to introduce you to Bria Thurman
Hi Bria, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Yeux Du Peuple, or YDP for short is a business venture born out of my senior year of college. After studying psych and sociology for 3 years, I decided to pursue the arts. I always loved art and saw it as more of a peaceful hobby rather than something to pursue career-wise. I still don´t. However, I was inspired by my desire to create and develop to start a business with a non-traditional model. Instead of creating a regular marketing or branding agency, my company is focused on developing small businesses/non-profits, artists, and influencers. I use skills learned through studying psych, sociology, creative writing, project management, and media fellowships to help up-and-coming creative entrepreneurs develop competitive marketing strategies. I have been in business for the last 3 months. Ive had clients here and there and growing slowely but surely. I am committed to growing my business and community over 2025 and am excited for all that is to come.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
No, not at all. To be completely honest, I´m driving on a dirt road now. As a company that is meant to help market companies, I had to fix my marketing. Over & over again. Marketing is about developing a community around your business. I had to decide what I wanted this company to be, where it was meant to go, and my long-term place in it. I had to Figure out contracts & how to make sales via the Internet. I constantly have to explain the basics of what we do, even when it´s written down. People are not good at listening and overcoming that has been tough. We´re no one’s staple, but were getting there.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Yeux Du Peuple is a multi-disciplinary creative solutions company meant to help develop small businesses, non-profits, artists, and micro-influencers. We specialize in creative project management, marketing, branding, and creative development. Our prices begin at $60 an hour and we can meet online or in person. What sets us apart from the competition is our desire to build our company through community. We are working to develop online social groups and IRL events. The purpose is to help people network while also being given one-on-one development support. We will do historical data analysis, and research your competition/peers, and YDP will teach you new ways to grow efficiently and cost-effectively.
What sort of changes are you expecting over the next 5-10 years?
I haven’t given much thought to it, but I recognize that companies like this are a rarity. I hope to see more companies that are development-focused and less money-focused.
Pricing:
- Creative project management services at $300
