Bree Flemings is on a mission to level the playing field for small businesses struggling to stand out in today’s crowded digital marketplace.
The tech entrepreneur and founder of Jem Social (@breeflemings) launched her influencer marketing platform after years of watching friends and family close their businesses—not because of bad products, but because they couldn’t consistently reach the right audience.
Jem Social is designed to change that. The app acts as a step-by-step influencer marketing engine, helping small brands identify the right creators based on their budget, niche, and target audience—and most importantly, track real-time results to scale what works.
“Too many small brands are playing guessing games with their growth,” Flemings said. “With Jem, we’re taking the guesswork out of influencer marketing and making it data-driven and affordable.”
During its private beta, Jem Social already helped several small businesses turn unprofitable marketing campaigns into sustainable growth. Now, with backing from pre-seed venture capital and angel investors, Flemings is ready to scale Jem Social globally—bringing accessible marketing tools to the entrepreneurs who need them most.
Flemings recently highlighted the platform’s potential on LinkedIn, sharing a striking example of influencer strategy in action:
“Let’s start off w/ Cal AI — started by teenagers btw. They scaled their app from 0 → 5 million users. \$0 to \$2 million/month in 8 months. All while still in high school using influencer marketing.”
The success of Jem Social reflects a broader movement: more women and people of color leading in tech and redefining how marketing works for emerging brands. Flemings’ background and community-focused approach bring fresh energy to a space traditionally dominated by larger agencies and big budgets.
As the creator economy continues to explode, platforms like Jem Social may become indispensable tools for small business owners who want measurable, affordable, and strategic access to influencer campaigns.
And for Bree Flemings, it’s personal. She built Jem Social not just as a tool—but as a solution she wished her community had years ago.
“I’m obsessed with helping small brands grow the smart way,” she said. “You don’t need a massive budget to win—you just need the right tools.”
