🎙️ Episode Description:

Welcome to our April edition of “Our Top Student Brands,” hosted by Student-Made’s Digital Marketing Strategist, Liz, who breaks down why she chose these 2 student brands who have each shown a big key to success in creating buzz for their young brand. Our campuses featured today are JMU and Winthrop.

🤔 Takeaways:

Brynn's entrepreneurial journey began with a simple idea: using seashells to create beautiful accessories and home decor. She personally collects shells from beaches, which adds a personal touch to each piece. "Collecting the shells is the part I enjoy the most. It’s what makes my brand unique.". This hands-on approach not only sets her apart but also allows her customers to connect with the story behind each product.

Landon's journey into entrepreneurship began with a love for vintage fashion. He enjoys the thrill of hunting for treasures in thrift stores and garage sales. "I go out and try to find some fast, old stuff for cheap. It’s exciting to discover hidden gems that others might overlook."
