Meet Bonnie Wayland | Founder + Owner of Bonnie Wayland Creative

We had the good fortune of connecting with Bonnie Wayland and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Bonnie, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I established Bonnie Wayland Creative with two primary aims:

1. To provide myself with a creative space for exploration and experimentation, allowing me to tap into my artistic side.

2. To lend a helping hand to those seeking marketing guidance. I often received requests for assistance from individuals unsure about promoting their businesses. I recognized an opportunity to offer straightforward marketing solutions to support their success.

The core mission of Bonnie Wayland Creative is to serve as a reliable marketing resource for small businesses!

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I started my professional journey as a marketing intern at a construction company. Over the years, I’ve honed my skills and grown into an asset for small businesses and companies seeking diverse marketing solutions, ranging from graphics and web design to ad campaigns and more. What sets me apart is a combination of passion and dedication to every project I undertake.

I pride in my ability to adapt to the ever-changing landscape of marketing trends and technologies. The marketing field is a constant source of excitement and change, and I love the opportunity to bring some of these to my clients. What’s even more fulfilling is my constant learning from everyone I collaborate with!

My professional journey wasn’t always easy. I faced challenges and obstacles along the way, but I learned to overcome them through perseverance, continuous learning, and a willingness to embrace change. One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is the value of adaptability and the importance of keeping an open mind.

What I want the world to know about me and my brand is that I’m not just a marketer; I’m a partner in the success of every business I work with. My story is one of growth, learning, and a deep commitment to helping businesses thrive. It’s a journey that continues to evolve, and I’m excited to see where it leads next.
