When we started our business a year and a half ago, our creative brains were on overdrive thinking of all the unique ways we could assist small businesses and our writer peers to elevate their brands. Throughout our many coffee-infused planning sessions one simple fact kept surfacing: we have the experience, skills, and wicked creativity - now we need to build trust in our services.
Having worked closely throughout our careers with start-ups and well-established companies, we know that mutual trust is vital for relationships to work. But it takes time.
We understand that most small businesses keep a sharp eye on the bottom line. We get it, we're right there with you! We also know that there can be a degree of anxiety when it comes to investing in an outside marketing agency. Maybe it's the fear of getting stuck in an all-or-nothing contract (for ridiculous money). Or perhaps it's just the idea of outsourcing part of your operations when you're used to wearing ALL of the hats.
Keeping these things in mind, we devised a simple solution: present Mama Media services in phases - customized strategies scaled for growth, tailored to your budget.
Just as the moon has its phases, its cycle of changes and development, so do small businesses. We loved this idea so much that we made it our logo - combining the moon with our Mama biz name (because Mama's know how to get sh*t done).
Each service we provide is custom designed and focused on your business goals or author platform. When we consult with a client, our job first and foremost is to listen. We want to know who you are, what you do, and who you do it for. Where are you now, and where would you like to be in the future? So no matter the size of the project - be it graphic design for print or web, writing and editing copy, creating a social media strategy, or auditing a current website - we can provide clarity, creativity, and results.
We recently completed a website for a client who has owned her own business for over 10 years while raising three kids at the same time. Until now, word-of-mouth referrals have been her primary avenue for advertising. But she came to us with a request for a website and a mini-rebrand so her existing clients could easily find her online. Growing her business, however, is not her current priority - she still has two busy kids at home and needs to maintain a flexible schedule. So that meant no opt-ins, no pop-ups, no social media, just a beautifully designed, user-friendly website. We created a mood board, designed a logo, composed friendly, professional copy, and went on-location to take a few candid shots to use on the website.
She was over the moon with the results (yeah, we said it), receiving glowing feedback on her website from her clients. Our client was so pleased that she came back and asked us to design her business cards, as well as new patient forms and customer invoices. As her life and business goals continue to evolve, we are excited to see what the next phase with this client has in store!
Mama Media is a two-woman crew. We've spent the last 13 years working together, writing, and creating. If you're an author or small business - whatever phase you're in, we're here for you!

Do you know what else I am excited about? When I am finally alone, I can already sing my heart out loud without worrying about having any captive audience who might criticise me. I can't do this where I am living right now. I just don't have the freedom to do such things. People are either laughing at me or trying to copy what I am doing and I am just sick and tired of all of these. I am not saying they're bad people but I really don't care how they feel anymore.
