Founded on March 15, 2011 by Founder, Veronica Morales, The Social Being LLC (TSB) is a certified Small, Emerging, Woman-Owned, and Minority Owned full-service marketing firm headquartered in San Antonio, Texas. Veronica is a San Antonio native, a graduate of St. John Bosco Catholic School, Antonian College Preparatory High School and the University of Texas at San Antonio. She always envisioned herself working for an advertising agency. Prior to venturing out as a small business owner, Veronica worked for Cox Radio Inc., Reagan National Advertising in Austin, TX, Sinclair Broadcasting, and several nonprofit organizations. In 2011, Veronica took the entrepreneur leap, On March 15, 2011, Veronica went to the Bexar County Clerks office and established The Social Being’s DBA. She took all of her savings and completely bootstrapped the beginning of The Social Being. During that time, working out of her home and shared an office space with other entrepreneurs. In May of 2014, she brought The Social Being to the Westside of San Antonio to a building called El Parian, which is ran by the Avenida Guadalupe Association. This is where, with the help of her team, she began to grow our small but hustling agency. After reading an email regarding a Small Business Education Boot Camp from the Economic Development Department of the City of San Antonio, she decided to apply to the Mentor Protégé Program. This is where she learned about Liftfund’s Women’s Business Center and all the services they provide to women business owners. With the help of these organizations and all of our mentors, they have helped Veronica seal the ‘cracks’ in our foundation and we can all see the benefits of all her hard work. When the opportunity arose to take over additional office space at El Parian, she quickly consulted with Liftfund to apply for a small business loan to help fund the construction and additional equipment needed for The Social Being office. The growth of The Social Being was promising and she also claims that we established our roots in the ‘heart of the City, the Westside of San Antonio. This area, not only a great location its growth was expenectional. It holds a very special place in the history of The Social Being. Growing up on the Northside of town, Veronica’s parents always made sure to bring her back to their roots and to the area that her grandmother lived and loved so dearly. Her grandmother, Magadalena is passed now, but she would be very proud to know that her granddaughter is not only a successful entrepreneur but also built her business near her home. During her scaling mode, TSB began providing social media marketing services and then grew to incorporate WordPress web design, integrated SEO and other digital media services. While these many of our services help formulate a solid digital media strategy, we always encourage the use of Google products such as Google My Business, Google Workspace and Google Analytics. Veronica was an active member of the Social Media Breakfast Club, (LATISM) Latinos in Social Media, and Girl Geek Dinners. In 2011, TSB hosted the Inagural Foursquare Day in San Antonio and received a proclamation from by the City of San Antonio, Mayor Julian Casto. She is also co-founder of The San Antonio WordPress Meetup Group. Today, The Social Being resides on the Northside of San Antonio off of Blanco Rd and our office space to continue to increase with the scaling of the business. We continue to exceed our revenue goals and our current growth rate continues to be approximately a 20% increase per year. Veronica is very grateful to the business community that has encouraged her to become the successful business owner that she is today and in return, she is always volunteered her time with several organizations, providing her expertise and talents.
