We had an amazing experience working with Jerry especially on such short notice. We didn’t know if we wanted to have videography until about 1-2 weeks before the wedding. Jerry swooped in and did an amazing job. Instant film was completed and sent over the night of the wedding. Ceremony film was done within the week. Amazing turnaround speed and fantastic quality. I don’t know how he does it!

As people who have worked full-time in the culinary media industry since 2018, we have a list of companies who are fun to work with and a list of the ones who are NOT so fun to work with. The team at Praxis PR definitely falls under our “FUN” category of partnerships, as we recently partnered on a campaign that was enjoyable from start to finish. The team understood the importance of creating content true to our unique tone and supported us in delivering one of the best pieces of work we have submitted to date. We look forward to partnering with the team at Praxis PR again soon!

Praxis... What can I say about this company? Well, as an outside contractor (photographer) who has had the pleasure of working with them on various projects and activations for many years I can tell you that they're one of my favorite clients and working with them has allowed me to provide photos for some really top shelf clients.
First off, they all have SUCH a great attitude and personality, from the account managers to the accounting team, and right up to the bosses, and I'm always looking forward working with the team because of this. The events/activations they put together are like no other, the attention to detail, the venue selection, the food that goes with their pairing menus, everything is always so very well thought out, designed with a keen eye for detail, and perfectly executed. Lastly, as a contractor, never had issues with payments, always on time, and the communication is bar none.
I give them a 5/5, if I could give them a 10/5 I would, and if I were on the other side of the fence looking for the best PR firm for my brand, I'd be knocking on the Praxis PR door.

I've had the opportunity to work with many agencies over the years; Boomcycle Digital Marketing stands in a league of its own. From sharp, modern web designs, to real SEO expertise that visibly moves the needle for search rankings. They also educated me as to techniques to make sure AI searches show up in ChatGPT that I wasn't aware of. They are knowledgeable, communicative, and genuinely invested in client success.

Barry is just an absolute pleasure to work with. He quickly puts you at ease when you’re conversing with him about what you’re hoping to accomplish for your business/website. Since I started working with him in March, he helped me optimize my website and web presence from an SEO perspective that has resulted in a considerable increase in leads/clients. I strongly recommend Barry as someone who will work his tail off to help you grow your business. He brings an incredible depth of knowledge to the table and produces real results. Five stars.

I highly recommend Barry for whatever digital marketing needs your business requires. I had no idea how to navigate a digital presence to reach more clients but Barry was able to take the reins and assist me through the entire process. His expertise will certainly help any business get up and running or help an established business grow in the digital world. I will most certainly continue to use The Bear Consulting Firm in the years ahead and I recommend other businesses do the same!

Oh yeah... I remember the day I called Element5. Need help with the undesirables? Check. Reason to believe ulterior motives are afoot? Check. I checked all the boxes, and so did legit Element5. My business was an elk stalked by "wolves in sheep's clothing", the crew at Element5 like a grizzly bear scared away most of the predators just by their imposing grandeur. And the few issues that remained were dealt with viciously and quickly. Facts and results are their professionalism. And the metaphorical corpses of their enemies is their profit. Thank you Element5 Digital.

6 Frequently Asked Questions About Social Media Marketing Companies
What services do social media marketing companies provide?
Social media marketing companies provide a comprehensive range of services that span strategy development, content creation, and optimization. Here are some of their core services:
Social media strategy
Content creation
Paid social
Community management
Influencer marketing
Analytics and reporting
Some companies also offer broader digital marketing services, including search engine optimization (SEO), paid media, email marketing, video marketing, public relations (PR), and landing page optimization.
What social media channels should your business prioritize?
For business-to-business (B2B) organizations, LinkedIn is often a top priority, while X may also be useful, depending on your industry and whether real-time conversations matter to your brand.
For business-to-consumer (B2C) brands targeting younger consumers, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok are often stronger options.
According to the Pew Research Center, 95% of 18-29-year-olds use YouTube, followed by Instagram at 80% and TikTok at 63%.
A reputable social media marketing company should recommend a channel mix based on your goals, target audience behavior, and the type of content you can produce consistently.
When should you partner with a content creator vs. an influencer?
Partner with a content creator for asset creation. Conversely, choose an influencer for the audience. Here are more details about the differences between each to help you with your decision:
Content Creator
Influencer
Who are they?
Experts in their specific field who create engaging and educational content for a specific topic, niche, or format
Individuals with an established audience who can shape opinions and promote brands, products, or ideas
Content examples
Explanatory videos
Blogs and articles
Tutorials
Branded visuals
Product reviews
Unboxing videos
Sponsored posts
Social media giveaways
Best for
Building brand credibility in a niche
Filling content gaps through reusable assets (video, blogs, and graphics)
Quickly expanding brand reach
Developing trust with a target audience
Producing promotional organic content
How to measure the ROI of your social media efforts?
To measure the return on investment of your social media efforts, first clarify the business outcome you want to achieve with your social media campaign. For example, generating leads, sales, or demo requests.
Next, track key performance indicators (KPIs) tied to that goal, such as engagement rate, click-through rate, conversion rate, cost per lead, and return on ad spend (ROAS). Use attribution models, analytics tools, and UTM parameters to connect social activities to business results.
Industry benchmarks can provide helpful context, but they vary by platform, industry, and methodology. Here are benchmarks from an Emplifi research report to help you gauge campaign performance:
Instagram
Median engagement rate: 16.9%
Cost per mille (CPM): ~$2.50, with ad spend per account reaching $5,100
Facebook
Median engagement rate: 1.4%-2.5%
CPM: ~$1.40-$1.70, with ad spend per account reaching $8,500-$11,200
TikTok
Median engagement rate: 27.6%
CPM: ~$1.00-$1.30, with ad spend per account reaching $14,900
How long until you see the results of your social media marketing campaigns?
Paid social campaigns generate results within a few days or weeks, but organic social media may take at least 3 months.
For organic social media, you might see initial follower growth and engagement within the first few weeks of regular posting. After 1-3 months, your account may gain traction as content performance improves, and audience engagement becomes more consistent.
By months 3-6, you may start producing qualified leads, stronger brand recall, and sales impact, especially for newer brands that are still building and refining their strategies.
Paid media campaigns, by contrast, can generate visibility, traffic, and conversions within days or weeks, but long-term performance will depend on creative quality, targeting, budget, and optimization efforts.
Ultimately, the time required to see meaningful results depends on your brand awareness, content quality, posting consistency, audience targeting, offer strength, and your broader marketing strategy.
