Welcome to
Your Social Media Squad.
We Build Community.
Social media shouldn’t be hard.
We all use social media all the time in our personal lives. 10-year-olds can tackle TikTok and teenagers can launch YouTube empires.
So why is social media so hard for small businesses? Or large businesses? Or podcasts, poets, or pundits?
It doesn’t need to be.
Look, you’re good at what you’re good at: making the world a better place or telling great stories or sharing the experiences of your lifetime.
You don’t need to know how to build an engaged audience of superfans willing to crowdfund your efforts. You don’t need to spend every waking hour on YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter and Instagram.
That’s our job. Maybe we can help each other out.
We love doing social media. Most of us met while helping Neil deGrasse Tyson’s StarTalk Radio become a major social media brand. We decided to keep the squad together, and now we can do it for you.
We love building communities of superfans that give you love, and money, and downloads. Or plays. Or views. Or subs. Or sales. Whatever your particular goals, we know how to use social media to help you get there.
We're Your Social Media Squad, and we're ready to get to work for you so you can focus on doing what you do best.
You do what you do.
We do the rest.
We’ll set you up on the social media channels that make sense for you and your audience. We’ll set up crowdfunding. We’ll build out your brand’s social media guidelines, best practices, and marketing calendars. We can integrate with your existing website and blog, or we can build them for you. And if you happen to need podcast or video production, we can help with that, too, from setting up your studio, to lining up celebrity guests, to getting you out on other podcasts yourself to build your audience and your brand, to recording, production and distribution.
“Everywhere I have worked, from 1995 to now, from Marvel Entertainment to Take Two Interactive, I’ve retained Jeff Simons and his teams to jumpstart stalled business units and get them up to speed.
Jeff brings a remarkable range of classic and contemporary marketing and promotional experience
to every task and comes with co-workers who rank among the best there is at what they do.”
