Social is where people check if your brand is real

Before someone books a call, buys a ticket or visits a dealer, they look at your feed. It is the fastest proof that a brand is active, consistent and worth trusting. That makes social a brand job first and a content job second.

We are not a posting service. We decide what each platform is for, what your brand sounds like there, and how the content connects to sales, events or launches. Then we build the system that makes it repeatable.

Social built around a property

F1inTO, Toronto’s Formula 1 watch party, lives on social between race days. The content has to speak to hardcore fans and new converts at the same time. Race-by-race creative from the season opener to Las Vegas and Abu Dhabi, fan competitions and a steady rhythm between Grands Prix keep the audience warm until the next party. It is a constant live test of what Toronto’s fan community responds to.

Social built around a person

For Linda Lemon, a Johannesburg food and lifestyle creator, the challenge was the gap between hobbyist and brand. We built templates and content frameworks that keep every post consistent, from high-end food photography to casual updates, so premium partners could see a brand ready for them.

Social built around sales

At CanBuyCars, Instagram and Facebook are lead channels. Creative for buyers, sellers and financing, including Spanish-language ads, runs alongside Google Business Profile and email as one engine. Social there is judged on leads, not likes.

Social built around a moment

For Decorex 25, creators and design voices made the 25th show the must-attend date on the calendar, and started the conversation months before opening day.

Questions

Asked and
answered.

Do you post for us every day?

We can run publishing, but daily posting is rarely the goal. A smaller number of strong posts, with a clear role for each platform, usually does more. We set the rhythm around your audience and capacity.

Do you work with influencers and creators?

Yes. We have run creator programs for brands, and built creator brands themselves. Decorex 25 used design voices and creators to carry the anniversary to a digital-first audience.

How long until social starts working?

Expect the system and first content within about a month. Organic momentum builds over a quarter. Paid social can test audiences and creative much sooner.

What does social media marketing cost?

It depends on how much content we make and whether we run paid and community. We scope it monthly once the strategy is set. Pricing on inquiry.

Can you train our in-house team instead?

Yes. Some clients want the strategy, templates and a playbook, then run it themselves with us reviewing. That is a good fit for lean teams.
