Meet Landon Bruski: The Young College Entrepreneur Making Waves
At just 18 years old, Landon Bruski is proving that age is just a number when it comes to success in business. Currently a freshman at the University of Alabama, Landon has been building his empire since he was only 16. He is the mastermind behind Bruski Branding Services, a branding and digital marketing company that is taking off faster than anyone could have predicted.
From Passion to Profession
Hailing from Michigan and now based in Huntsville, Alabama, Landon made the big move three years ago, right during the pandemic, which certainly had its challenges. But instead of slowing him down, it was the perfect time for him to dive into entrepreneurship. The journey began when he started helping his mother with her dog grooming business. She struggled with social media and graphic design, and Landon saw an opportunity to jump in.
What began as helping family soon evolved into a full-fledged business. It turns out that Landon’s passion for film and graphic design was the perfect match for the growing need for digital presence. He quickly learned the ropes of website building using online tools and the skills he picked up from his high school computer science classes.
The Birth of Bruski Branding Services
By the time he turned 17, Landon officially launched Bruski Branding Services, and things just took off from there. He has now served over 40 clients across the United States, showcasing his talents in creating customized branding strategies, web development, and effective digital marketing solutions.
Challenges Faced Along the Way
Of course, the journey hasn’t been entirely smooth sailing. One of the biggest challenges Landon has encountered is the digital knowledge gap that often exists among older clients, particularly those from the baby boomer generation. He found that many of them are not as savvy with technology, which made it difficult for them to understand the nuances of digital marketing.
For instance, he once had a lawn care client who faced significant challenges due to a mislisting in their online presence—a small error that had major repercussions. Landon explained how small mistakes in search engine optimization can affect a business’s visibility, stressing the importance of digital knowledge in today’s economy.
Impact on Small Businesses
Landon is on a mission to help local businesses adapt to what he calls a digital-first economy. With statistics showing that over 70% of customers search online for services, he is committed to making sure that his clients stand out. And the numbers speak for themselves; many clients report an average increase of 20% in site views after utilizing his services.
Lessons Learned and Words of Wisdom
Despite the challenges Landon has faced as a young entrepreneur, he has learned valuable lessons through trial and error. He understands the struggles of being perceived as inexperienced but emphasizes that making mistakes is part of the growth process. His advice to fellow young entrepreneurs is simple: don’t let the fear of imperfection hold you back.
“You don’t need everything to be perfect to start a business,” he shares. “The key is to act on your ideas and believe in yourself.” Landon finds incredible pride in making a difference for small businesses, proving that with dedication and belief, anyone can succeed.
Long-Term Vision
As Landon continues his studies at the University of Alabama, he remains focused on supporting local businesses in Huntsville and beyond. He is excited about the potential for growth and is committed to adapting as he learns more.
