If an image is worth a thousand words, you’re going to want to learn that language! Design is a language that includes visuals, verbs, and the strategy of how you string those things together.

The ability to understand what messages you’re sending out through your image choices, color choices, typography choices, and how they fit together creates not only a look and feel but a clear (and subconscious) message that will effortlessly attract or repel your potential clients.

In this interview Jenny and Lisa will discuss:

The importance of knowing the look and feel of your brand and business.

How to define your look and feel using abstract concepts & feelings

Why you should always balance what you want to say with what you want others to feel/experience with you/your brand/your business.

It’s not Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. It’s also not something to be scared of. Deanna will share some of the myths about LinkedIn and what the platform is really about.

In this interview Deanna and Lisa will discuss:

- LinkedIn is more than just an online resume.

- How to get the attention of employers and recruiters.

- The best content is original content that produces value for your connections and followers.

Who is Deanna Russo?

Authentic, genuine, and straight forward.

Those are three words that best describe Deanna Russo. She started Leverage Up to share her authentic advice with people who are looking to grow their network on LinkedIn. She customizes her approach with her clients. Everyone is at a different place in their LinkedIn journey. So what works for the goose will not work for the gander. Some people have 300 connections and are looking for their next opportunity. Others have 1500 connections or more and want to use LinkedIn to jumpstart or boost their business. Regardless of their end goal, Deanna works with her clients to maximize the benefits of LinkedIn.

Her goal is to share her knowledge. She grew her network on LinkedIn from 400 to 11,000 connections in just 18 months. She started Leverage Up to pass on her knowledge and help others achieve all the benefits that she learned independently.

She brings a vast knowledge of experience to Leverage Up. She worked as a TV News Producer for 6 years, then moved into Online Marketing, Communications and Sales. Over the years she’s learned how to use words in the best way and the ins and outs of Content Management too.

Deanna was born and raised in Buffalo, New York and that’s where she lived and worked for much of her life. She relocated with her family to Columbus, Ohio in 2017 and started as a Sales Manager at Dash Technologies in July 2018.
