Reels and photos shot on the ground in Anchorage and across Alaska, your shop, your team, your product, your neighborhood. No stock photo Midwest diner energy. Posting calendar, content brief, the whole thing, handled.
Quick facts
What's included
Photo + video
Real shoots, real places, real Alaska.
Half-day to full-day shoots at your location, your kitchen, your boat, scheduled when the content runs thin or the season changes, not on a calendar for its own sake. We bring the camera, the lighting, and a real point of view. Output: 30-60 finished assets per shoot, edited and tagged for the calendar.
Strategy
2-3x per week per platform, planned a month out.
We build a content calendar around your business rhythm (seasonal cycles matter in Alaska), your promotional moments, and what's actually working in the data. Want to approve posts before they go live? You can. About half our clients do, the other half let us run with it and read the monthly report.
DMs + comments
We answer the inbox + comments, not a bot.
Real responses to DMs, comments, and tags within 4 business hours. We escalate to you for anything that needs a real human decision (refunds, big complaints, partnerships).
Ad budget
Quietly boost the posts that are working.
Identify the 1-2 organic posts per month that are popping, then put $200-$2,000 behind them. The math: organic finds the message that resonates, paid scales it.
Creators
Repost customers + work with local creators.
We monitor tags + DMs for great customer photos and videos, secure rights, and feature it. For higher-budget clients we run a 2-4 creator/quarter paid program targeting the right Alaska micro-influencers.
Data
One dashboard. What worked. What didn't. What's next.
We don't send 40-page reports. One page: top posts, follower growth, engagement, leads, return on ad spend, and what we're trying next month. Live dashboard you can check anytime.

Is this a fit?
Or one with a real Alaska story. We're not the right team for a generic Lower-48 brand.
Restaurants, retail, services, healthcare, anyone whose customers are scrolling on lunch break.
Either it's not working or it's working and eating 40 hours a month you'd rather spend running the business.
The best social isn't outsourced, it's outsourced execution of you. We need a half-day a quarter with you, your team, and your product. Nobody has to dance.
Probably no if:
We need a half-day a quarter with you. If you want to ghost the whole time, we're not the right fit.
Real social media is a real budget. If you're under $500/mo, you're probably better off doing it yourself with our template.
We don't chase trends or hire dance-trend coaches. We build channels that consistently bring you customers.
Social compounds. The fifth month is always better than the first. Retainers are month-to-month, but plan on staying a while.
