Are you in an industry where you see areas for improvement? Do you think you can be the one to reinvent the wheel, and branch out on your own? Without a doubt, Victoria Reitano, founder of CreatiVix Media, knew she could. After being recruited for an agency and working with them for 9 months, she saw how their service could grow and expand. She took on her first freelance project while working for them. Within five weeks she got all the accounts she needed to break off on he own, and CreatiVix Media was up and running. Not only that, she matched her six figure salary in that time as well! CreatiVix is a digital agency that manages the digital content of brands, entrepreneurs and influencers. Depending on who you are, the services vary. For brands, Victoria provides full management, which can consist of writing posts, creating social media strategies, determining and creating image aspects, as well as creating a video strategy. When dealing with entrepreneurs, she can provide the same services, but she also offers training sessions to help them understand how to take the reins themselves. For influencers, Victoria mostly trains them so they can make smart business decisions and understand the true value of their worth and influence. Now let us dabble a little into the awesome career that she had before she started CreatiVix. Gaining a degree in journalism, she started out as a local reporter for a trade publication and other odds and ends writing jobs. By studying journalism, she learned how to effectively communicate with audiences based off of their psychographics and sharpen her interviewing skills. From there she became the Managing Editor for a blog in 2011, and started a Twitter Chat so successful that a producer at the Today Show got a hold of her, and she appeared on the show. With her love for TV ignited, she was hired to be the Digital Producer of LIVE with Kelly & Michael at the age of 24. She managed their Facebook and Google + accounts, and brought them from 200 to 600,000 in nine months! (Needless to say, the girl was good.) From there, she went to Telepictures and worked on the web content for the Bethenny Frankel show and developed a digital brand for the Meredith Vieira show for NBC.

I am very honored to dedicate this entire week to So Money millennials. We’ve done this before and it was very successful looking at some of the most remarkable young people in this country as they manage their money, careers and find their purpose in life. So, back by popular demand, we’re dedicating this entire week to those of us born in 1980 or after. For months, I have been searching and this week we have an incredible line up for you. Today, we have a young woman that I met about eight years ago. She had just graduated from college, had stars in her eyes and she reached out and said, “Hey, remember me?” Of course, I did. Victoria Reitano is now the CEO and lead consultant at her own company, CreatiVix Media, a digital agency based in New York City. It’s dedicated to making social media manageable for all. Her nickname is “Vix." The two of us actually met during one of my talks at Time Inc. way back when. So hear us catch up, how she transitioned from corporate to entrepreneurship and how she’s earning six figures, all before the age of 30. For more information visit www.somoneypodcast.com.
