Meet Francesca Ragucci

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Francesca Ragucci a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Francesca, we’re so excited for our community to get to know you and learn from your journey and the wisdom you’ve acquired over time. Let’s kick things off with a discussion on self-confidence and self-esteem. How did you develop yours?
With the goal of starting my own marketing business and living the lifestyle I desire, I knew confidence was key. To achieve this, I needed to have a thorough understanding of my business plan and feel competent in my knowledge from the start. I needed to believe in myself and have the courage to take risks and make bold moves.

To attract national clientele from New England to Los Angeles, I knew I had to embark on a journey to promote my unique abilities in business development and content strategy. I joined networking groups and spoke to real estate brokerages and other corporations. Being asked to speak at these companies meant that I was being recognized for my expertise. The feedback I received from professionals and the direct results my clients received helped me develop a core sense of self-esteem. This allowed me to build a strong business reputation, which helped me attract more clients and ultimately grow Francesca Ragucci Marketing.

Through my 10 years of experience, I’ve gained valuable insights from both my challenges and successes that have allowed me to apply my knowledge to new situations. Providing actionable information to help senior-level executives improve their marketing strategies is truly satisfying. I remain confident in my abilities, yet humble and open to learn.

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
I am a highly experienced Social Media Strategist and Marketing Consultant who has helped companies from various sectors redefine their reputation and achieve their branding and online marketing goals. With 10 years of background working with upper-level executives and individuals in the luxury industry, I have developed a unique skill set for leading creative strategy and business development, making me an ideal partner for businesses seeking to modernize their brand identity, communication, and target specific audiences.

As a skilled marketing partner, my clients confidently rely on me to maintain a strong online presence for their businesses by carefully balancing prestige and reputation. My extensive experience working with clients across various industries and markets has given me a deep understanding of their needs. My clients are located in a number of locations, including Philadelphia, New York City, Miami, Boston, Litchfield County in Connecticut, Los Angeles, and New Jersey. I have a proven track record of delivering results that exceed expectations, supporting business objectives, and navigating challenges with ease.

As a Philadelphia real estate and restaurant photographer, I have earned several prominent press features, including Modern Luxury, cementing my reputation as a reputable photographer. With my 10 years of photography experience, I strive to create images that tell stories in a brilliant way. My expertise has led me to be invited as a guest speaker at various events, where I share my knowledge with professionals and college students.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
To succeed in business, I found that discipline, resilience, and grit are the three most essential skills. It’s crucial to devote oneself to their business to see results. I advise others to continue educating themselves, whether by learning during their downtime, practicing their craft, or finding new ways to promote their business both online and in person.

What’s been one of your main areas of growth this year?
Over the past year, I’ve developed new skills to improve my business. One of these skills includes ensuring I have proper scheduling and client onboarding software to manage coaching calls, consultations, and other opportunities effectively. Additionally, I’ve expanded the photography portion of my marketing business by incorporating virtual tours. Going forward, I hope to participate in more speaking engagements, whether in-person or through Zoom, with corporate offices.
