I found the Social Media Audit to be incredibly useful! I wasn't sure what I was doing right and what needed improvement, I just knew my social media efforts weren't paying off. Emily has given me a very detailed and honest opinion on what worked and what didn't. But most importantly, Emily also provided a clear list of things to improve: from small quick and easy specific wins to the broader strategic advice on how to make it work better for me and also how to manage two very different sides of my work (my personal projects and my business).

You are a superstar! You've given me so much clarity around what I need to do, who I am targeting and how to target them. There's so much in the write up that I didn't even give a thought about when creating content in the past. You've made an overwhelming task feel manageable and I'm actually excited to start working on everything!

“'I am so grateful to Telling Tales Media for the incredibly insightful audit they completed on my social media account. I was looking for advice on how I could have more success on reaching my book's target audience, while directing them to my amazon page. The audit provided an in-depth analysis of what was going well, with recommendations to work on which would help me achieve my targets. Having a third party look at my social media and explain clearly what I could do to boost engagement (and consequently result in more sales) was so helpful, and I am really excited to get going on all the recommendations I was provided with. Thank you!'
