Hidden Gems: Meet Jonathan Wackerman of Leafcutter Media

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jonathan Wackerman.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Two years ago, I quit my job as a barber to travel full-time. I bought a camera and hit the road. About a year into my year and a half sabbatical, I started running out of money. I begin offering social media video content services to local businesses wherever I would travel to, and that’s how I kept myself afloat.

In October of last year, I moved down to Fort Lauderdale and set up shop here. The business has expanded beyond content, and we now offer social media ad campaigns (local business leaders gen) and social media management services.

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?
No. It’s always tough moving to a new place and starting a business from zero, especially with minimal prior business experience. It’s really sink or swim. Thankfully, we’ve kept our heads above water and are starting to grow.

We’ve been impressed with Leafcutter Media, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
We’re a social media marketing and videography company. We specialize in corporate video production, social media content creation, social media management, and social media ad campaigns (local business lead generation through Meta ads). We help our clients build trust with their clients and find new clients for them with creative marketing. A lot of our clients are not necessarily social media savvy, so we’re able to help them access an untapped market of customers.
