We had the good fortune of connecting with Seerel Meadows and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Seerel, what is the most important factor behind your success?
The most important factor behind the success of Dallas Discovered has been putting relationship-building first. When I was just launching Dallas Discovered, my biggest focus was engagement with my audience. I made it a priority to respond to every comment and question, which resulted in more authentic interactions with people who were truly searching for the best experiences Dallas had to offer. Dallas Discovered followers came to trust the quality of our content as they tried and loved our recommendations. Every time I showcased a new experience or locale, my audience was eager to share the information with friends and family, creating an even wider net of exposure. Even as our audience grows, I still focus strongly on quality engagement with people looking for the hottest spots in Dallas.
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Dallas Discovered is the ultimate insider guide to innovative experiences in Dallas. My mission is to bolster the lifestyle sector of Dallas in terms of both patrons and businesses alike. I strive to find unique, exceptional restaurants, events, and entrepreneurs and share their creations with my audience. Throughout my life, I have always enjoyed hosting and creating and now I get to do it on a larger scale. I’ve always loved sharing the latest and greatest experiences with my friends and that’s how I think of my audience – as friends visiting Dallas from another area. I take them along with me to my favorite spots and events. Since its inception, Dallas Discovered has continually been at the forefront of the ever-changing entertainment scene because that is where I’ve always liked to be. Dallas Discovered is authentically me. From restaurants I love, to staycations that saved my sanity, and even my dog-approved pet hot spots, I give my all, and my many Happy Hour recommendations, to my audience. My overarching goal is to provide my audience with recommendations they can trust and can adapt to their needs and desires. My reliable guides are constantly sourced by visitors and Texas natives alike to find the best holiday extravaganzas, truly Texan experiences, or limited time pop-ups.
Along the way, I’ve learned that sometimes the greatest joy in a career can also be a challenge and with Dallas Discovered, I’ve learned that keeping creativity alive is the most important part of content creation! And honestly, it’s the most fun part, too.
I am constantly reinvigorated by my audience. I love seeing what type of content they engage with, what events and locations have them the most interested, and what questions or requests they have for me. This interaction helps guide my content creation, so I know where to go and what to introduce next.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
We would have the best week ever!
Dallas is such an incredibly diverse city – every day would feel like a new adventure! A few spots we would definitely need to visit would be:
_ A Visit to the iconic Fort Worth Stockyards with an overnight staycation at Hotel Drover, plus dinner at H3 Ranch
– Shopping in Dallas – from NorthPark to Highland Park Village, the sites and retail therapy are unbeatable!
– The Dallas Arboretum to see their latest seasonal masterpiece, plus have tea at the DeGolyer House
_ A Bishop Arts Day! Karaoke at Casablanca, drinks at Mermaid Bar, and the perfect amount of French vibes!
– A Day for Dining: Dallas has the most incredible eats and we’d have to hit up all the newest hotspots, plus some favorites like Paradiso, Nick & Sams, and Dolce Riviera.
– Sports Outings – Dallas has so many incredible sports teams, no matter the season, we can find something to watch (and some over-the-top concessions to eat!).
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
The citizens, entrepreneurs, and fellow content creators of Dallas deserve a massive shoutout! The best part of my job is connecting with my audience, but also with the people behind the scenes that inspire the content. I love the rapport I’ve with created with Dallas business owners. By forming balanced relationships with these innovators, I can keep my audience informed of the latest and greatest happenings, while also helping local businesses launch their new endeavors. And thanks to the mind-blowing creativity of these Dallas entrepreneurs, there’s always something new and exciting to feature.
