Today we’d like to introduce you to Ankevia Taylor.
Hi Ankevia, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstories with our readers?
Greetings and humble salutations,
I am Ankevia Taylor a 3L at Florida A&M University College of Law from Miami, FL. I am currently a Law Clerk at The Cochran Firm Orlando and will be graduating from Law School in May of 2023.
I went to high school at Miami Lakes Educational Center and was enrolled in the Cambridge Academy with a focus on Forensic Science. During my high school career, I completed dual enrollment at Miami Dade College and received my high school diploma in May of 2016.
I started Footloose Agency in the Fall of 2017 after a year of working at Chipotle Mexican Grill while also being a full-time undergraduate student at Florida State University, Chipotle Mexican Grill challenged me in many ways, but ultimately it empowered me to take my dreams seriously and start my own business using the exceptional customer service skills and work ethic I developed. After leaving Chipotle Mexican Grill I was determined to find a way to make additional money while in school without having to clock into a job every single day.
I dug deep and decided that I could use my skills of creativity, planning, and writing to help students and organizations that needed creative support to produce campus events and programs. The first organization I did a paid design for a student organization and that reaffirmed I was truly on the right path.
As a student leader at FSU, I worked closely with departments and organizations on campus to improve the marketability of the resources and opportunities the university had available to students. This fulfillment in improving the marketability of FSU empowered me to focus my efforts on supporting and providing creative resources to businesses in the state of Florida.
Footloose Agency is a marketing agency compromised of innovators, writers, and creative minds driven to increase our client’s competitiveness in their respective industry through digital and creative solutions which develop their business and personal brand. At Footloose we believe in creating out-of-the-box projects by staying up to date on the latest industry trends and creating new ones.
5 years later, Footloose Agency continues to grow and help businesses start, rebrand, and improve their marketability to their target customers and clientele. Footloose Agency has expanded to now have a blog, youtube videos, social media accounts, hair oil, and so much more. This agency continues to offer improved and diverse resources to clients with exceptional creativity in the execution of all services.
I am currently the Editor-in-Chief of FAMU Law Review and I will use my creative and other professional skills I have acquired to oversee the production of Volume 17 and work with a team of phenomenal editors to produce a legendary volume. I continue to grow personally and professionally with the skills acquired in managing and operating Footloose Agency, and that is how I know I am truly doing what I am meant to do. I look forward to continually adding services and resources for current and perspective clients that truly make business ownership easier.
Here at Footloose Agency, we believe “The work must get done!”
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It has not been a smooth road but there is no surprise there as anything worth having will come with challenges. I have operated and managed Footloose Agency independently for 5 years and there is still so much more that I wish to do with this agency.
The truth is that entrepreneurship is a gamble of your time, resources, and energy for a potential gain that may or may not ever come. Accepting the possibility of failure has always inspired me to continue pushing forward even at times when the profit is low –because I know that failure produces wisdom. When I am experiencing struggles, I always remember that I am learning more and am constantly adding to the knowledge I can pass to the next entrepreneur facing the same or a similar issue.
Footloose Agency is more than a service provider –it is a problem solver. We pride ourselves on being a one-stop shop for clients allowing them to get a diversity of marketing services with bundled pricing. This allows businesses to manage their budgets appropriately while also maintaining exceptional creative services.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
From 2017 to 2022 the services Footloose Agency provides has continued to expand!
When this marketing agency was founded, I initially did consulting for business creation, and eventually began creating digital flyers to assist businesses in marketing their services and products.
Today, Footloose Agency now provides business plan services, logo design, flyer creation, video editing, video creation, product label design, packaging and shipping design, and even party banners!
In addition to the services provided, Footloose Agency provides content on Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, and TikTok. There is also a blog and podcast that is used to allow current and perspective clients to be empowered to continue the work they do. The blog postings highlight moments in society or culture, and the podcast episodes empowers entrepreneurs to continue building their legacy and work on their self-improvement in the process.
What do you like best about our city? What do you like least?
I loveee Downtown!!! So again, I am from Miami, FL so I love places with water, art, and good food of course!
As a student at FAMU College of Law I am in Downtown Orlando nearly every day, I love going to the bars with my friends when we catch some free time, and overall, just love the vibes in this city I can’t explain it but it feels like home –my second home though because Miami will always be #1 🙂
I can’t say that I particularly dislike anything about the city but I will say that having a beach within 20 minutes of my house would be a nice perk. However, at some point I will concede in my tantrum and drive the 90 minutes to a beach in Central Florida just to see if the experience compares to my favorite beach in Miami, FL –Sunny Isles.
