WANNA KNOW WHAT WE THINK?
There's a lot of BS
You’ve heard you can't grow on instagram without Reels, and that if you’re not on TikTok yet, you’ve missed the boat — have you ever wondered where this shit comes from? Maybe our social media strategy is being jerked around by competition between social media platforms? In 2022, Zuck ponied up billions of dollars to pay content creators to keep his platform competitive. Now, the majority of social media marketing education we see is coming from influencers.
There's a better way
It’s fair to say that your education is being funded by these social media platforms indirectly with their own self-interest in mind. We're here to show you a calmer, more efficient way to blowing past your business growth goals with sustainable marketing strategy that's 80% algorithm-proof.
