The executive order was issued,
And the world felt like it stopped.
That was 5 years ago today.
The feelings I remember were…so much uncertainty paired with fear of the unknown.
It was the day of my 40th birthday, and I don’t remember much about that milestone as everything was sucked up in daily headlines. Kzoom lost $100,000 of booked business overnight.
So much changed, and so much change for everyone all at once. It was hard, negative, relationally disconnected, and difficult.
We had no idea the wild ride Kzoom would be on, stretching from surviving as a four person team, to the company we are today. By the end of March 2020, our plan was to lay off half of the team, which was paused 1 day before employees filed for unemployment upon the curiosity of if “PPP” could be the support we needed.
You may also remember this, as well, the frustration of too many conversations processing Covid. On the opposite end of this, it’s surprising that we don’t talk about it more. We think it’s due a checkpoint to look back.
Here’s the wild adventure Kzoom went through.
Looking back 5 years, we have grown from a 4-person small business to a 12-person full service marketing team with specialists in every area of marketing, offering Videography, Photography, Graphic Design, Web Design, Social Media, SEO, Digital Advertising, all with a side of Borderline Too Much Fun.
We’ve grown to almost 20 businesses where we direct all aspects of marketing.
