The K-Factor podcast is produced by CHYE – Crown Heights Young Entrepreneurs in partnership with community news website COLlive.com.
The K-Factor offers business wisdom that can help future business leaders to make the “Keli” (the Hebrew word for vessel) so they can grow their business aspirations.
On this week’s podcast the launch of our Women’s Edition hosted by Rochel Polter in conversation with Shainy Edelman on managing a successful business while putting motherhood first.
Shainy Edelman is the Creative Director and founder of Click Co., a CH-based marketing agency serving clients worldwide. Following her passion for helping nonprofits succeed, Shainy started her business in 2008 at a time when Chabad nonprofit marketing agencies and single women-owned businesses were few and far between. As her business blossomed, so did her personal life. Shainy credits setting strong boundaries and developing sensible flexibility as the keys to achieving business success while prioritizing family.
With a proven track record of reliability, results, and uncompromising standards, Click quickly became the marketing firm recognized by many and trusted by all. In an ever-evolving industry where creativity is constant and strategic thinking is essential, Shainy finds it easy to stay motivated. And achieving client satisfaction? That’s constant motivation, too.

Amazing to hear from Shainy and her journey!
I’ve been working with Shainy and her team for nearly 10 years – a great balance of a very personable but entirely professional experience. They truly get it and they get the project done reliably every time. They think for us, take initiative, focused on every last detail and have never missed a deadline, we’re huge fans!
I wish she would have spoken about how well she treats employees, I’ll never forget my time working with Shainy, felt like she was one of us, always treated each of us with respect, kindness, and appreciation. I remember when she met a relative of mine and introduced herself not as my boss but as a co-worker, I have no doubt it was intentional, that’s her energy in the office too while being an excellent leader
I’m SOOO happy to see this here today – it always puzzled me seeing CHYE was only featuring men, I’m so glad they finally recognized the importance of spotlighting the equally impressive women who have started businesses, this was a breath of fresh air to listen to, can’t wait to hear from many more women!
