marketing consulting

Sometimes, the hardest part about social media marketing is just knowing what to post, when to post, and if what you want to post is going to help you reach your goals or not. But you also don’t have the budget for a full done-for-you service.

It can feel lonely, and even hopeless. But you know how you always take your personal life struggles to the same one or two close friends to crowdsource solutions? I want to be that person for your social media—your social media bestie who is always here for you, ready to help you conquer your socials without paying someone else the big bucks to take it over.

We can meet on one-offs whenever you need, or we can set up recurring time on a monthly or bi-weekly basis if you need the accountability of repeat connection points.
