A West Virginia Wesleyan College student made it into the top five of an undergraduate business competition for the Mountain State Innovators Summit.

Maggie Jordan is a freshman at West Virginia Wesleyan College and the founder of her social media marketing business, Full Bloom Marketing. Her business aims to help small businesses grow by leveraging social media marketing to advertise and find new customers.

Jordan was originally told about this competition by one of her clients and decided to pitch Full Bloom Marketing in the Christy Hayhurst Davis Undergraduate Student Pitch Competition. Jordan stated that just being a finalist in the competition has been immensely beneficial for her and her business.

“I have been able to network with industry professionals, get personalized coaching and find potential new customers through my fellow finalists,” she said.

Jordan is taking everything she will gain from this experience and putting it right back into making her business successful. Through the competition, she was able to gain structured feedback, connect with West Virginia business owners and gain more exposure for Full Bloom Marketing.
