Last month, we had the honor of capturing one of our incredible New York client's work IRL. 😍

From the Flatiron District to JFK, this was a "pinch me" moment for us! This fabulous client's business has operated out of Queens for over 50 years and has created unforgettable commercial and residential spaces throughout the city, state, country, and beyond. We are so proud of this (female owned and operated!) builder and look forward to more opportunies to capture the spirit of New York City through their work. πŸ™οΈ

𝑴𝒀𝑻𝑯: Hiring an in-house social media manager is cheaper than a contracted agency. Let's talk about it. πŸ‘‡

Hiring an in-house social media manager is expensive...between salaries, benefits, training, equipment, and more, the costs add up quickly for just one employee.

Instead, partnering with our social media marketing experts––like our team at The Social Hour––allows you access an entire team of pros for a fraction of that in-house price tag. πŸ’Έ

πŸ‘‰ You get specialized skills without breaking the bank, saving you money while creating and maintaining a beautiful online presence. We stay ahead of the content creation, latest trends, and best practices so you don't have to.

Why pay premium prices for one person when our one-of-a-kind approach delivers more bang for your buck? Schedule a complimentary intro call on our website with our CEO and Director of Operations to learn more. πŸ’» https://thesocialhourmedia.net/booking

Your social media likes are low...𝒔𝒐 π’˜π’‰π’‚π’•? As an agency, we don't promise virality. In fact, our advice when hearing of a company promising lofty follower counts is as follows:

𝑹𝑼𝑡.

Your social media presence is so much deeper than just racking up views, likes, and comments. πŸ‘€ These surface-level, vanity metrics don't tell the whole story...they are simply the first step in sparking meaningful connections with your audience.

Behind every number, there's a person on the other side of that screen. Don't allow the inflated numbers of others allow you to doubt your reach and impressions! 500 views may feel low compared to millions...but imagine if all 500 of those people stepped foot into your business today. 😳

These are 𝘳𝘦𝘒𝘭 people you have the opportunity to inspire, educate, and create a genuine relationship with through the content you share. 🀲

Social media marketing is all about the long game––cultivating a well-targeted community with trust π™€π™«π™šπ™§ π™©π™žπ™’π™š. Creating resonance with your messaging that lives well beyond a fleeting double-tap. ❀️

πŸ‘‰ When you (single) tap into the real purpose behind each platform, you can transform casual scrollers into loyal brand lovers and advocates. THIS is our focus. At its core, social media is a powerful vehicle for human connectivity.
For cutting through the digital noise to communicate authentically. πŸ’₯

In the crowded highway of social media, your business needs to be the flowers in the road. 🌸 You want to catch people's eyes and stop them in their endless scroll.

With fresh, vibrant content that brightens their feeds, you can be that burst of color they can't help but notice. By injecting personality and life into your posts, you'll stand out from the drab corporate sameness. πŸ—„οΈπŸ“‚πŸ“‹

It's not just about looking pretty––those flowers are resilient, thriving in harsh conditions. Your social presence needs that same steadfast consistency and strength. Keep blooming with your unique voice through all the seasons. 🌱

When you commit to being π’‡π’π’π’˜π’†π’“π’” π’Šπ’ 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒐𝒂𝒅, you'll turn casual passers-by into a garden of loyal followers, soaking up everything you have to share. We can help. 🌞

Before you can focus on a stellar social media presence, you must ask yourself:✨ 𝑫𝒐 𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒂 π’ˆπ’“π’†π’‚π’• 𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒅 π’˜π’π’“π’•π’‰ 𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕...

Before you can focus on a stellar social media presence, you must ask yourself:

✨ 𝑫𝒐 𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒂 π’ˆπ’“π’†π’‚π’• 𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒅 π’˜π’π’“π’•π’‰ π’“π’†π’‘π’“π’†π’”π’†π’π’•π’Šπ’π’ˆ 𝒐𝒏 π’”π’π’„π’Šπ’‚π’ π’Žπ’†π’…π’Šπ’‚? ✨

Your brand is more than just a logo or color scheme. It's the essence of who you are as a company. πŸ’«

Strong branding helps customers instantly recognize and connect with your business. It communicates your values, personality, and the experience customers can expect when they engage with you. 🀝

In a crowded marketplace, branding is what sets you apart and allows you to stand out. It breeds familiarity, trust, and loyalty with your audience. πŸ–€

πŸ’¬ Whether it's your visuals, voice, or vibe, every touchpoint reinforces that brand identity. That's why investing time and thought into authentic, consistent branding pays major dividends for businesses willing to make it a priority.

Is your brand sending the right message? 😳

Meet our content team! πŸ‘‹ From photography, videography, graphic design, copywriting, and everything in between, these three creatives are the best in the game.

πŸ’» Meet Katelyn: lead strategist, graphic designer, and content manager. You can catch her starting her month planning client social strategy, batching upcoming digital and promotional assets, and captioning content calendars one whole month before they are seen on the 'gram and approved by clients.

🀳 Meet Ashley: video producer and trend expert. If there is a popular TikTok or Reels trend, Ashley already has it covered for your team and business. From filming content on shoot days, to post-production of interviews and weekly short-form video, she is a master at managing the next inspiring, scroll-stopping video for your business.

πŸ“Έ Meet Amanda: lead photographer and director of operations. Amanda is client-facing most of the week from behind the screen, but during photoshoots, you can find her behind the camera. Leading energetic content days is the best, but she's just as excited to plan content based on client feedback and implement new engagement techniques on each platform.

What exactly does partnership look like when you hire The Social Hour? πŸ€” We like to say our clients can be as hands-on or hands-off as they would like to be; we encourage involvement in our processes and the sharing of real-time media, feedback, and regular meetings with us, but if you're a busy business owner and are ready for someone to take your social media presence completely off your plate, we're your team. 😎

After our initial onboarding and the approval of our first round of content, we start strategizing, engaging, and consistently posting.

In a rush to create posts and videos? No more! πŸ™…β€β™€οΈ
No time to reply to comments? We've got you covered. 🀳
Feeling overwhelmed by incoming messages? No sweat, we're there. πŸ’Œ

Ready to learn all we can do for your brand? Hint hint, it's WAY more than just this. 😊 Book a call on our website with our CEO and director of operations to see why we're a fit for you. https://thesocialhourmedia.net/booking

The holiday season is not the time to feel like you've been left hanging by your content team. πŸ€• With clients nationwide, how does The Social Hour handle content creation and collection?

πŸ‘‰ When onboarding a new client, we ask for all assets and content from previous photoshoots.
πŸ‘‰ Typically, we will schedule a first shoot before posting for our team––our CEO, photographer, and videographer––to visit and capture exactly the content needed for (at least) your first quarter. And to connect with you IRL!
πŸ‘‰ After this initial shoot, we will visit on an as-needed basis or vet and hire a fabulous local photographer to work with you and your team, after an introductory call and provided shot list.
⭐️ We like to shoot (pun intended πŸ“Έ) for a new batch of content every 3-4 months, depending on the industry and client.

πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ What about all that time in between photo and video shoots?
We ask clients to send us real-time content whenever they want to. Hanging holiday decor in your office? Send us a photo! An awesome client ready to film a raving testimonial? Shoot it our way! Our team will edit, caption, and post, all our clients do is capture the moment.
