Meet Leysla Castillo | Founder and Marketing Strategist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Leysla Castillo and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Leysla, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
I pursued an artistic and creative career because it allows me to fully express my passion and imagination. From a young age, I found solace and excitement in the world of art, design, and creative expression. It provided me with a sense of freedom and a way to communicate my thoughts, ideas, and emotions.

As I grew older, I realized that creativity is a powerful tool that can make a significant impact in various industries. I saw the potential to use my artistic abilities to help businesses and individuals elevate their brand image and effectively communicate their message to the world. This realization fueled my desire to establish DREAM agency, a creative digital marketing and PR agency.

Being able to merge my love for art with the ever-evolving digital landscape has been an incredibly rewarding journey. It allows me to constantly explore new avenues of creativity and utilize innovative strategies to help my clients stand out in a crowded marketplace. I find immense joy in crafting visually appealing and compelling campaigns that not only capture attention but also drive tangible results for my clients. Moreover, the creative field allows me to continuously learn and grow. It pushes me to think outside the box, experiment with new ideas, and challenge conventional norms. This constant evolution keeps me motivated and excited about what I do each day.

What should our readers know about your business?

Each obstacle has been a valuable learning experience, allowing me to adapt and grow. While closing new partnerships, mastering advanced marketing tools, and keeping up with technology present ongoing challenges, I’ve come to embrace them and find joy in the journey of constant learning.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?

My family has been my rock and my source of unwavering support since day one. They have always believed in my dreams and encouraged me to pursue my passion. Their love and guidance have shaped me into the person I am today, and I am forever grateful for their presence in my life.

I also want to recognize my incredible fiancé, Joe Rubino. He has been my biggest cheerleader, believing in me even when I doubted myself. Joe’s constant encouragement, understanding, and belief in my abilities have been instrumental in my professional and personal growth. His support fuels my determination and inspires me to reach for the stars.
