Client Testimonial
I'm very happy for having the opportunity to work with Edd today. He really helped me out with my social media. I've been doing kind of the same thing for a long time, and I'm pretty comfortable with Facebook, so we went through that and he gave me more tips to really boost our numbers and how to make the most of our marketing! This has been a very information-packed session, and I have lots of tools to use to really increase my social media impact for our organization."

The Process
I approached this engagement the way I approach all strategic projects: listen deeply, audit thoroughly, prioritize ruthlessly.
Tools I Used
I approached this engagement the way I approach all strategic consultations: listen deeply, audit thoroughly, prioritize ruthlessly.
Meta Business Suite – For diving into audience analytics, identifying demographic patterns, and showing Karen how to interpret her own data moving forward.
Canva – Recommended for social media graphic creation because it has pre-set dimensions for every platform, eliminating the aspect ratio guesswork that was causing Karen's cropping issues.
Linktree – Implemented to solve Instagram's single bio link limitation, allowing California Health Advocates to direct traffic to multiple resources without confusion.
CapCut – Suggested for beginner-friendly video editing since Karen wanted to create reels but found video editing intimidating.
Meta Blueprint – Provided as an ongoing educational resource so Karen could continue building her platform knowledge through free, official Facebook/Instagram training.
Certifications That Informed This Strategy
HubSpot Social Media Marketing Certification equipped me with frameworks for audience segmentation and platform-specific content strategies. This training directly informed my recommendation to split Karen's efforts 80/20 between Facebook and Instagram based on where her demographic actually spends time, rather than treating all platforms equally.
HubSpot Content Marketing Certification taught me how to analyze existing content performance to identify patterns worth replicating. This was essential when reviewing Karen's top posts in Meta Business Suite—I could quickly spot what was working (human-focused imagery, clear value propositions) versus what was falling flat (text-heavy graphics, poor aspect ratios).
Meta Blueprint Certification gave me deep platform knowledge of Facebook and Instagram's algorithmic preferences, feature sets, and best practices. This expertise allowed me to introduce Karen to tools she didn't know existed (Highlights, pinned posts, @followers tagging) and explain exactly how they'd improve her reach and engagement.
Google Analytics Certification trained me in data interpretation and metric prioritization. While we used Meta's analytics for this project, the analytical thinking I developed through Google's program helped me guide Karen through her numbers without overwhelming her—focusing on actionable insights (audience age, top content) rather than vanity metrics.
HubSpot Email Marketing Certification informed my recommendation to leverage Karen's 5,600-subscriber newsletter for social growth. I understand email-to-social conversion mechanics and could confidently advise her on CTA placement and messaging to drive cross-platform engagement.
Sendinblue Email Marketing Certification deepened my understanding of cross-channel marketing integration, which informed my holistic approach to Karen's challenge. Social media doesn't exist in isolation—her email list, website, and social presence all work together, and I could show her how to create synergy between channels.
