social media marketing for hospitality brands.
we help you fill your tables & build your community while you focus on running your business.

hey, i’m shanny!

I help food & beverage businesses in the San Francisco Bay Area become the place to be, both online and in real life.

From strategy to content to ads, I’ve helped restaurants and cafes go from empty tables to waitlists, all while building a loyal following that raves about them online. So what are you waiting for???

what i do

As a food loving marketer, I design social media strategies from both the consumer and marketer perspectives. I pride myself on delivering quality work and I can’t wait to help your business grow through the power of social media.

  • meta ads

    Deliciously targeted ads that put your business in front of the right people and get them through your doors!

  • social media

    Whether it’s just a strategy or all fingers on deck, your brand socials will become consistent, engaged, and impossible to ignore.

  • content

    Content made from the perspective of your business. From photo shoots to event coverage, your restaurant is covered with visuals you can use across social media (and your website!)

who i serve

ShannySocial currently serves the Bay Area food scene. To name a few:

  • Restaurants, cafes, and coffee shops

  • Dessert spots and bakeries

  • Breweries, bars, and wineries

  • Caterers, event vendors, and pop-up events

  • DTC food & beverage brands

Basically, if it’s edible, drinkable, or brings people together…I got you!

Okay, let’s get real.

After being a one-woman team for so long, I know firsthand how much damn work goes into your business, and social media almost always ends up at the bottom of the barrel (RIP).

But here’s the thing…Social media is an extension of your website. It’s like the person you’re about to go on a date with and need to stalk before meeting up. Even if you do have a website (and you should, because they go hand in hand!), we live in an era where people look at socials first.

So if you aren’t showing up, I hate to break it to you but…you’re missing out on a TON of eyes, clicks, and customers.

Annnnd that’s where ShannySocial comes in. You get personalized attention and someone who works closely with your brand, with none of the agency pricing (UM, YAY). I create sustainable strategies that keep your socials consistent, flexible, and efficient for the long haul.

Aside from a few approvals from you, you stay focused on your business, and we’ll make sure the right people keep seeing, craving, and eating.

“Shanny is an absolute pleasure to work with! From the moment she arrives, she is prepared, friendly, and has this can-do, can figure it out attitude, and she seems so passionate about what she does. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her. My favorite part of working with her was her organization, her making tasks relatable and bite size and her authenticity, as she wants to help people win in their businesses! I love that, and you can feel that come across! Shanny helped make things bite-sized, confirmed what we are doing, and gave us a plan of action and steps to take to continue to excel in our business.

“I had the absolute pleasure of working with Shannon for my engagement photos, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results! Despite the rain on the day of our shoot, Shannon made us feel completely at ease. My husband and I were both nervous about the weather and how it would affect the shoot, but Shannon’s calm and professional presence immediately put us at ease. She handled the rain like a pro and even used it to our advantage, capturing beautiful, intimate moments that we never could have imagined. We’ve worked with Shannon for multiple sessions, including our civil wedding day and holiday photos, and each time she exceeded our expectations. Her ability to capture special moments with such talent and creativity truly shines through in the photos. We are so grateful for the memories Shannon helped create and highly recommend her to anyone looking for stunning, high-quality photography!”

still on the fence?

Don’t worry! I know bringing someone onto your team (especially for the first time) is a big step and nerve-racking AF.

Book a call with me and we can chat about whatever you’re curious about! No salesy chat, promise.
