Check Out Jomo Cousin’s Story

Today, we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Jomo Cousins.

Hi, Jomo, we’re so excited to have you on the platform! Before we get into questions about your work-life, can you bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I am a proud FAMU grad! I played in the NFL for a few years with the Arizona Cardinals, then I became a motivational speaker and a life coach. From there, my wife and I started a church, Love First Christian Center in Riverview, FL and I’m on daily radio and web broadcasts.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and, if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The road has not been smooth, but it has been steady. I believe our biggest challenge has been finding the right kind of client who sees the value in what we do. Most businesses don’t understand that a marketing campaign does not happen in one month; successful campaigns usually take months of pushing a concept.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
We first started marketing our business by using flyers on doors to get the word out. After flyers, we made 4ft by 8ft signs and asked property owners if we could place them in their yards. To our surprise, all of them said yes! We then took a leap of faith and got our first billboard on US Highway 301. Then we added another one on Big Bend, and so on, and so on.

We have been using billboards for years and they helped us get brand awareness, but they can become expensive. So, we were looking for a way to advertise in a larger geographical area while still being budget friendly. In the process of helping our current business, we started our mobile billboard business as a solution. Our billboard business offers companies the opportunity to get effective advertising on a budget.

Is there something surprising that you feel even people who know you might not know about?
I used to be afraid of public speaking because I was a poor reader, so it’s amazing that I now speak to large audiences regularly for a living!
