Reels and photos shot on the ground — 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. We bring the camera + lighting + 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. You see + approve everything before it goes live.
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 UGC, 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, paid ROAS, and what we're trying next month. Live dashboard you can check anytime.

How it goes
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.
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. We need a retainer commitment, not a project.
