From Concept to Creation: Why Black Sheep Social Was Born to Stand Out!!

Writer: John PriceJohn Price

Welcome to the Black Sheep Social blog! This post is the first in a three-part series diving into the journey behind creating Black Sheep Social. In this opening chapter, Unplugged, I’ll share why I stepped away from the 9-5 to build a brand that’s authentically my own. This series will cover the leap into entrepreneurship, crafting a business true to my values, and what Black Sheep Social represents. Join me as we explore the path from corporate life to building something unique and meaningful.


From Routine To Reinvention - The decision to step away from the ordinary and carve a new path.


Starting Black Sheep Social was, for me, about embracing a long-awaited freedom—a departure from the 9-5 grind and a step toward a life that feels truly authentic. For years, I felt as though I was part of a machine, conforming to schedules and systems that didn’t align with my true self. I knew I needed more than just a job; I needed purpose, creativity, and the flexibility to build something that genuinely resonated with who I am. So, I unplugged from the matrix, left behind the corporate cycle, and took a leap toward a path I could define, a path that allowed me to express my creativity and pursue my passion for digital marketing on my own terms.


By stepping away from the conventional office setting, I set out to build Black Sheep Social, a digital marketing agency dedicated to authenticity and individuality. Leaving behind the constraints of the 9-5 opened doors to a new world where I could craft a brand focused on unique, impactful strategies for businesses wanting to stand out online. Black Sheep Social wasn’t just a business idea—it was a way to truly connect with like-minded clients who also value an unconventional approach to digital marketing.


Starting Black Sheep Social has also given me the freedom to prioritise what truly matters—spending quality time with my family, coaching football, and diving into the activities I love most. This balance lets me bring my best self to my clients and my life, proving that meaningful work and a fulfilling personal life can coexist.


As I wrap up this first post in our series, I hope you’ve gained insight into the motivation behind Black Sheep Social and the importance of living authentically. Leaving the 9-5 grind was not just about starting a business; it was a necessary step toward embracing my true self and encouraging others to do the same. In the next posts, we’ll delve deeper into the core values that shape our brand and how we strive to help our clients celebrate their uniqueness in a crowded market.
