Rianna M. Hill has been running Facebook Ads and Social Media for Business since 2014, after starting her professional career selling and designing ads for a newspaper in 2013. She formally incorporated this work into Pancake Digital Solutions, Inc. in May of 2017 and is currently working on a Doctorate in Business Administration online (ABD May 2020) while moving around the country as a Navy wife with two mystery-mutt pups and a crafting habit. You may frequently see her knitting, crocheting, or sharing IG stories on her latest baking adventure.
In May of 2017, Rianna founded Pancake Digital Solutions as an S-Corp with the mission to help people get their business online. At the time, she had a great full-time job in Charleston, South Carolina, several freelance clients, and was almost finished with an MS in UX Design. Her husband came home from work one day with the news his job was to move us to New York for just a few months, with future living locations unknown.
The next day, Rianna was on an airplane to a bridal shower in Wyoming reading YOU are A BADASS by Jen Sincero, and she knew what she had to do. Rianna has been working in the business ever since, despite moving coast-to-coast 5 times, officially planning and having a wedding, working on a Doctoral degree in business, and maintaining part-time work for another agency, and occasionally working for local shops.
What inspired you to start working for yourself?
When I first starting looking for a job, it was early 2009. After several weeks going door to door with my resume, I hadn’t received a single phone call. After watching a manager immediately toss my resume into the trash at a chain fast food restaurant, I realized I was going to need to look for different options.
