In this episode of the Creatives Like Us podcast, host Angela sits down with Jess Bruno, a creative content strategist based in London. They discuss Jess's journey from aspiring Spice Girl (it's true!) to successful business owner, the importance of networking in a fun and engaging way (Ne'Twerking) and the challenges of building a business while managing chronic illness. Jess shares insights on her membership program, 'Watch Us Grow,' and her aspirations for creating inclusive spaces for women and marginalised communities in the business world. The conversation emphasises the long-term nature of business growth and the importance of community support.
Since Jess and I recorded this episode – she has created a new programme: Formula Hun
In Jess’ words Formula Hun is a 6-month strategic group experience for founders who know it's time for more visibility, more clients and want to post sh*t-hot content that reflects the quality of their work.

Bio by Jess:
I’m THAT content strategist who’s helped 400+ small biz owners turn followers into paying clients. I built a six-figure business with under 5K Instagram followers, proof you don’t need to gO viRaL to grow.
My business began after chronic illness forced me to leave my corporate marketing job at 27 with just £0.30 to my name. From my first £25 consulting session to hitting six figures in 2024, I’ve been living proof that small, engaged communities create big results.
Now, I work with founder-led business owners with under 10K followers, build sustainable content strategies that bring in sales, without burning out.
