Today we’d like to introduce you to Shyla Collier.
Hi Shyla, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
As an Arizona native, I started working at a young age and learned early on the importance of hard work, creativity, and building genuine relationships. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Advertising and Photography from Northern Arizona University in 2008 and have built a career through internships, business ownership, hands-on marketing experience, teaching, and becoming an Amazon best-selling author. I have continued my education throughout my career, becoming certified in social media and, most recently, artificial intelligence. These experiences eventually led me to build Premiere Social Media in Mesa, Arizona, where I have been able to turn my passion for marketing and helping others into a career I truly love.
I believe I have gotten where I am today by providing honest, professional services, working hard, and genuinely caring about the people I work with. Along the way, I founded Premiere Business Networking, trained thousands of business owners and professionals, taught at the college level, became a published and best-selling author, and had many opportunities to speak and share my knowledge. I am proud of what I have built, but I continue to learn and grow because my biggest passion has always been helping others succeed.
Premiere Social Media started in 2014 with a focus solely on social media management and training. As the digital world evolved and our clients’ needs grew, so did we. Over the years, we expanded into a full-service digital marketing agency and one-stop shop where businesses can get everything they need under one roof, from social media and websites to SEO, digital advertising, graphic design, content creation, automation, and more.
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?
Surprisingly, my journey has been fairly smooth, but I would never say it has been easy. I have been fortunate to have many opportunities come my way, but those opportunities were also the result of years of hard work, consistency, networking, and building a strong reputation. Owning a business requires you to constantly adapt, especially in digital marketing where technology, social media, and now AI are always changing. One of my biggest challenges has been finding the right people to be part of my team. It can be difficult to find people who share the same work ethic, reliability, attention to detail, and level of care that I expect for my clients. I have learned that growth is not just about getting more clients. It is about building the right team, maintaining the quality of your work, and surrounding yourself with people you can trust. There have definitely been challenges along the way, but each one has taught me something and helped me become a stronger business owner.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Premiere Social Media?
Premiere Social Media is a full-service digital marketing agency based in Mesa, Arizona, serving businesses locally and nationwide. We quickly grew into a one-stop shop for virtually every aspect of digital marketing. We offer social media management and training, website design, management and hosting, search engine optimization (SEO), graphic design, digital advertising, blogging, and automation solutions nationwide, along with women’s business networking groups and videography throughout the Phoenix area. Our goal is to make marketing easier by giving business owners one trusted team they can rely on instead of having to work with several different companies.
What really sets Premiere Social Media apart is the personal approach we take with every client. There is no single marketing strategy that works for every business. Each company has its own goals, audience, budget, challenges, and opportunities, so we take the time to understand the business and create solutions around what will actually benefit them. Integrity is extremely important to me. We work hard, communicate honestly, follow through on what we say we will do, and focus on finding solutions rather than simply selling services. Sometimes that even means recommending something different from what a client originally thought they needed because our priority is helping them make the best decision for their business.
I am incredibly proud of the brand and the empire I have built, but what means the most to me is how many people I have been able to help along the way. I have watched businesses grow, helped owners become more confident in their marketing, created opportunities for other professionals, and built client relationships that have lasted more than a decade. We work with businesses of all sizes and offer options for a wide range of budgets because effective digital marketing should not be limited to large companies. We also offer a complimentary phone consultation so business owners can discuss their goals, challenges, and options before making any decisions. At the end of the day, I want Premiere Social Media to be known for more than great digital marketing. I want our name to represent hard work, integrity, reliability, creativity, and a genuine commitment to helping businesses succeed.
Alright so before we go can you talk to us a bit about how people can work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
We are always open to building relationships with other professionals and companies that serve business owners. I would love to develop more partnerships with website design agencies, public relations firms, business consultants, photographers, and other service providers where we can complement each other rather than compete. Some of the best business relationships are power partnerships where we can confidently refer clients to one another, collaborate on projects, share resources, and help each other grow.
Businesses can also work directly with Premiere Social Media for their digital marketing needs, whether they need one specific service, ongoing support, or a team to handle multiple areas of their marketing. If they are looking for a women’s networking group, we have chapters throughout the Phoenix Valley. I also love connecting with Chambers of Commerce, networking organizations, conferences, and business groups for speaking, training, and educational opportunities. Supporting Premiere Social Media can be as simple as referring a business owner who needs marketing help, inviting us to collaborate on a project, or simply connecting us with someone who could benefit from what we do. I truly believe some of the greatest opportunities come from professionals supporting one another and growing together.
