Q What do you do?
“Hi there! My name is Taylor and I’m the founder of Somewhere Else Studios. Somewhere Else Studios is a boutique marketing company specializing in social media, editorial, and creative consulting services.”
We're based in Southern California and offer our services worldwide. We offer full social media management, social and editorial strategy, content creation, writing + copywriting + editing services, and more. I have worked in social media for over seven years and spent four years as the editor for a lifestyle magazine. Storytelling and content are my passion.
Q What steps did you take to get to where you are now?
I have a degree in journalism and a minor in entrepreneurship from the University of Southern California. Looking back, all of my previous work experience and internships throughout college (Refinery29, The Zoe Report, Beach Riot, The Little Market) really helped guide me to where I am today. My role as senior editor for a small company gave me hands-on experience in the editorial world and incredible connections + communication to brands, PR companies, and more.
I've always been extremely dedicated with my work and will admit I'm a bit of a workaholic (it's the Capricorn in me).
Q How do you stand out in your field?
I work with the perspective that every client / account is my own brand. This gives me the dedication, drive, and creativity to help my clients succeed and reach their goals.
Q What are you working on right now?
Currently, I'm working on Somewhere Else Studio's "sister" brand. It's a digital travel publication for the modern traveler called Surfwood. I can't wait to share more.
Q What’s your style?
I would describe my personal style / perspective / taste as authentic, serene, organic, and sophisticated. For my clients, it of course depends on their brand and audience.
Q Out of all your slashies, which one do you wish you could do more often?
Probably writing.
Q What is frustrating you right now?
Funny enough, dedicating time to my own socials.
Q If you could hire someone for $20/hour, what would you have them do to make your day easier?
Help with community management and graphics. Also manifesting an assistant.
Q What do you wish you could have told yourself, when, and why?
Start sooner, trust yourself, and know your worth.
Q If you could talk to an expert to gain more insight on something, what would it be about?
How do you do it all?!
Q What kind of opportunities/projects are you looking for?
I am currently taking on new social media clients in the interior design, hospitality, and travel space. I love working with female founders. I'm open to projects revolving around content creation, social media management, writing, editing, and consulting.
Q Describe your ideal job/client/collaboration.
My ideal client / collaboration at the moment is working with a boutique hotel or a hotel group.
Q What is your rate?
Rates differ based on the project, client, scope of work, etc. Monthly rates typically range from $850 to $5200.
Q How should someone approach you about working together?
