Build It. They'll Come.RedBalloon founder Naomi Simson on how she reinvented her marketing career, after having children, by backing herself- creating a gifting website that delivered many more consumers to small businesses who otherwise would never have found those new customers!
After grinding away as a freelancer creating marketing plans for household brand names, Naomi Simson decided she wanted to re-set when her own children came along. So she created an idea for an overarching brand that would help market small business operators to much wider markets and audiences. She founded and set about building, with lots of ups and downs along that way, a website around that brand she called RedBalloon. But her genius was in setting that brand around gifting. You could say Naomi Simson was a trailblazer in this space and her RedBalloon website became a mushrooming marketplace for experiences, long before the first world hunger for “experiences” became a massive worldwide trend.
