Marketing for local businesses + UGC for brands

I'm Melissa Stranahan, and Your Take Social is my studio. I run social media for local businesses, make UGC videos for product brands, and handle the email, the creator partnerships and the events around them.

Email marketing

The list is yours. Here's what to send it.

Influencer marketing and management

Five things to agree before a creator posts.

Event production

A run of show keeps the night on time.

  • Social media management

    Your accounts planned and posted every month, so they never go quiet. You send photos and updates, I handle the rest.

  • Content creation

    UGC videos for product brands to use in ads and on social, and short videos, photos and graphics for local businesses.

  • Email marketing

    Newsletters and automated emails for the people who already asked to hear from you, planned, written, designed and sent.

  • Influencer marketing and management

    The right creators for your brand, found, briefed and looked after, from the first message to the report on what it did.

  • Event production design and management

    Launches, pop-ups and company events, designed from the first sketch, staffed with the right vendors and run on the day.

Packages and prices

Simple packages, month to month, for local businesses, and per-video pricing for product brands.

The room is content too

A launch party, a pop-up or an annual meeting is a full day of photos, clips and stories, if someone plans for it.

I design the event, book and manage the vendors, and make sure the cameras are pointed at the right moments.

How working together goes

  1. A first message

    Tell me about your business, your customers and what has and hasn't worked so far. Email or text, whichever you prefer.

  2. A plan you can read

    A short written plan: what gets made, where it goes, what it costs and how you'll know it's working.

  3. Make and publish

    You send photos and updates. I write, edit and schedule, and the posts go out on time.

  4. Recap and adjust

    A recap of what went out and what performed best, with the changes for next month.
