Frequently Asked Questions

  • I primarily work with brands in the surf, wellness, hospitality, lifestyle, and experience-based spaces — businesses where brand, storytelling, and visibility directly impact bookings and revenue.

    That said, industry matters less than mindset.
    I work best with founders who want structure instead of chaos, systems instead of one-off tactics, and marketing that supports long-term growth — not constant scrambling.

  • No. Social media is just one channel.

    I design marketing systems that often include:

    • Social strategy + execution

    • Paid ads (Meta-focused)

    • Email marketing

    • Visual direction + media creation

    Social media is the output — strategy, positioning, and structure are the real work underneath.

  • A system means your marketing works even when you’re busy.

    Instead of:

    • posting randomly

    • chasing trends

    • reacting week to week

    We build:

    • clear positioning

    • defined content pillars

    • repeatable workflows

    • aligned visuals + messaging

    So your marketing becomes infrastructure, not another task on your to-do list.

  • Both — depending on your needs.

    I offer:

    • Strategy-only projects (for teams who can execute in-house)

    • Select sprints (focused, high-impact work)

    • Ongoing retainers (for brands who want consistent execution)

    • The SoShells Suite (fully integrated marketing support)

    If you’re unsure what you need, we’ll figure that out together.

  • Not very — and that’s the point.

    You’ll be involved where it matters:

    • initial strategy

    • approvals

    • high-level direction

    But you won’t be:

    • micromanaging

    • writing captions at midnight

    • wondering what to post next

    My role is to take marketing off your plate, not add to it.

  • I handle strategy, structure, and execution.

    Depending on the project, this can include:

    • content planning

    • copywriting

    • creative direction

    • photo + video creation (or remote direction)

    If you already have assets, we’ll use them.
    If not, we’ll create what’s needed to support the strategy.

  • AI is a tool, not a strategy.

    I may use AI to support efficiency, but:

    • positioning

    • messaging

    • strategy

    • creative direction

    are always human-led, intentional, and brand-specific.

    Clarity doesn’t come from automation — it comes from thinking.

  • It depends on the scope and channels, but generally:

    • Clarity + structure: immediately

    • Momentum: 30–60 days

    • Consistent results: 3+ months

    Marketing isn’t instant — but when it’s built correctly, it compounds.

  • Pricing is customized based on scope and support.
    We’ll align on the right approach before discussing numbers.

  • Start with an inquiry or discovery call.

    We’ll talk through:

    • where your marketing is now

    • what’s not working

    • what kind of support actually makes sense

    If it’s a good fit, we move forward.
    If not, I’ll tell you honestly.

Marketing doesn’t have to be loud, chaotic, or overwhelming.
It just has to be clear.
