What we make
A grid that
stops the thumb.
Most brand feeds are nine variations of the logo. We design the grid like a magazine cover — tonally consistent, visually rhythmic, every tile earning its place. The first three columns are what a stranger sees when they tap your handle.
The mock on the right is a representative nine-grid in brand palette: alternating editorial photography, Reels, brand statements. Cohesion, not sameness.
Instagram
Reels, carousels, Stories, Lives. The default place customers research you. Feed designed like a brand book.
3–5 posts / week
Facebook
Still the reach leader for local and B2C audiences — Groups, events, community, and the backbone of Meta Ads (Instagram + Facebook run as one). Indispensable for local service brands.
3–4 posts / week · Meta Ads core
TikTok
Short-form video for reach beyond followers. The algorithm rewards consistency — we feed it every weekday.
4–7 posts / week
LinkedIn
Founder-led posts, company updates, long-form thought pieces. The B2B trust channel.
2–3 posts / week
YouTube
Long-form video and Shorts. SEO compounds — one good video keeps earning for years. The patient channel.
2 posts / month
Pinterest
Quiet, conversion-heavy. Best for retail, decor, lifestyle. SEO-discoverable; pin reach compounds for months.
15–20 pins / month
Pick two, do them well
Most service brands need Instagram + LinkedIn. Retail: Instagram + TikTok. B2B: LinkedIn + YouTube. We audit before recommending — sometimes the right answer is leaving one on autopilot.
Audit included with every engagement
The Content Factory
One shoot.
A month of content.
Most agencies bill by post. We bill by quarter and shoot in batches — the math works out cheaper for you and the content is better because we're not improvising every week.
i.
Quarterly Shoot
One on-site day. Half-day for service brands, full day for retail. We come with the camera, the director, the prompts and the shot list. You show up.
Output: 30–60 raw assets
ii.
Edit + Caption
Editorial photo retouching, Reels and TikTok cuts with sound design, on-brand captions, hashtag research per post. The unsexy work that makes the difference.
Replies, DMs, comments responded to within 24 hours during business days. We flag sales-ready leads and pass them straight to you (or your HubSpot, Pipedrive, etc.).
SLA: under 24-hour reply

Paid Boost
The best 20% of organic posts get a paid boost via Meta Ads Manager. Best ROI in social — you've already proven the creative works organically.

Monthly Report

Every Signature engagement
Two pillars · Organic + Paid, run together
Organic builds the brand.
Paid social compounds it.
Organic / Content is the patient pillar — the feed designed like a brand book, the quarterly shoot, the community managed every day. Paid Social is the accelerant: the best 20% of organic posts get put behind spend in Meta Ads Manager (Instagram + Facebook), TikTok Ads Manager and LinkedIn Campaign Manager. Paid social is included in Signature & Bespoke, and it pairs naturally with organic — we don't run them in silos.
Meta Ads
Instagram + Facebook — proven creative, put behind spend.
TikTok Ads
Short-form velocity that reaches beyond followers, fast.
LinkedIn Ads
Campaign Manager — the B2B audience, precisely targeted.

The Cadence
How often should you
actually post?

Frequently asked
Plain answers.
No jargon.
How much does social media management cost in Vancouver?
In 2026, most Vancouver agencies charge $1,500 to $5,000 per month for managed social. Angarum starts at $1,500/month for Starter (two platforms, 12 posts, monthly strategy). Signature is $3,800/month (three platforms, 20 posts, content shoots quarterly, paid-social management). Bespoke starts at $7,500/month for full-funnel content production with weekly shoots. See full packages & pricing.
Which social media platforms should my business be on?
Pick two, do them well. For most service businesses: Instagram + LinkedIn. For retail and lifestyle: Instagram + TikTok. For B2B: LinkedIn + YouTube. The platforms that drain budgets are the ones you join out of obligation. We audit before recommending — sometimes the right answer is leaving Facebook on autopilot and putting that budget into the two platforms your customers actually use.
How often should we post on Instagram or TikTok?
Instagram: 3–5 posts per week (mix of feed, Reels, Stories). TikTok: 4–7 posts per week to feed the algorithm. LinkedIn: 2–3 posts per week. The numbers don't matter if the content is filler — one excellent Reel beats five mediocre carousels for reach, every time.
Do you create the content or do we?
We do, end-to-end. Quarterly on-site shoots (or monthly for retail), full editing, captions, hashtags, scheduling, community management. We can collaborate with your in-house photographer or video team if you have one — many of our clients prefer that hybrid arrangement.
How long until social media drives actual sales?
Social media is a slow-compounding channel — most brands see meaningful audience growth at month 3–4 and revenue attribution at month 6–9. Two exceptions accelerate that: paid social (which produces measurable conversions within weeks) and high-velocity short-form video (TikTok and Instagram Reels that go beyond your audience). We typically pair organic with light paid social to bridge the gap — model what a Facebook or Instagram budget could return with our free Meta ads ROI calculator. If you need faster pipeline, our Google Ads engagement moves on weeks, not months.
Can you run paid ads on Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn too?
Yes — paid social is included in Signature and Bespoke. Meta Ads Manager (Instagram + Facebook), TikTok Ads Manager, LinkedIn Campaign Manager. Paid social pairs naturally with organic — we don't run them in silos. If you also need Google Ads, that's a separate engagement and we coordinate the two.
Do I own the social accounts and the content?
Always. Your accounts are registered under your business email; we work as a Manager via Meta Business Suite, LinkedIn Page Admins, etc. All raw footage, edited assets, captions, and content calendars are yours. If we part ways, you keep everything.
Is social media marketing worth it for small businesses?
For most small businesses, yes, when it is treated as a compounding asset rather than a daily chore. Consistent, well-made content builds recognition and trust that make every other channel convert better, and paid social reaches precise local audiences cheaply. It rarely produces instant sales, so it works best paired with a channel that captures demand now, like search.
What is the difference between organic and paid social media?
Organic social is the content you post for free to your followers and whoever the algorithm shows it to; it builds brand and trust slowly. Paid social puts budget behind posts or ads to reach a chosen audience fast and produce measurable conversions. They work best together: organic proves what resonates, and paid scales the winners to new people.
How do you measure social media results?
We report on outcomes, not vanity metrics. That means reach and follower growth as leading indicators, then the numbers that matter to revenue: profile clicks, link clicks, leads, and cost per lead on paid campaigns. Every account gets a monthly scorecard in plain language, so you always know which platform and which content are actually producing.
What makes social media content actually perform?
Performance comes from the first three seconds, a clear point of view, and content made for how each platform is watched. A strong hook, native formatting, and a reason to stop scrolling beat polished but generic posts every time. One excellent Reel usually reaches further than five filler carousels, so we make fewer, better pieces built for each platform.
How is social media marketing different from Google Ads?
Google Ads captures people already searching for what you sell, so it converts demand that exists now. Social media creates demand: it builds awareness and desire among people who were not looking yet, then retargets them. Most businesses run search to catch ready buyers and social to fill the top of the funnel, so the two feed each other.
