Here's more about the Blueprint:

You’re not ready to hire a social media team full-time — but you do want to stop winging it.

You know social media matters for growing your business. But between figuring out what to post, how to find the right people to collaborate with, and what’s actually working… things get overwhelming fast.

The Social Strategy Blueprint was designed for teams and growing brands that need a clear plan — and a little help making meaningful connections — to get started the right way.

Fall is one of the best times to work in destination marketing and placemaking.

From fall festivals to farm fun, communities come alive with experiences that people can’t wait to share.

It’s the season when local traditions meet vibrant storytelling—and when social content practically writes itself.

How are you highlighting your community this fall?

Introducing one of our newest content creators, Rebecca Desmarais! Rebecca is a Happy Valley resident with a deep connection to our community, and we're excited for her to start to get to know Hello Social Co.'s clients.

"I'm Rebecca — a wife, a mom to two amazing girls, and a photographer who loves to capture genuine, candid moments. As an active community member, I'm involved in our schools and community. I'm also the owner of My R.A.D. Pics, LLC, my local photography business of over eight years. Through my work, I capture the genuine, candid moments that tell a story. I believe in the magic of books, the delight of s'mores, love of sarcasm, and the power of photography to freeze those special, unplanned moments in time. It's through my business that I have had the opportunity to connect with families, celebrate milestones, and contribute to the vibrancy of our community."

Please join us in welcoming Rebecca today! ✨

A day in the life with team member Devin ✨

In the wise words of Dolly Parton – “Don’t get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.”

Success, to me, isn’t about long hours or dollar signs. It’s about having the time and space to do what makes me happiest. At Hello Social Co., I get to live that out – whether it’s exploring my community, traveling, chasing personal goals, or simply enjoying time with friends and family. When my cup is full, I bring more creativity, clarity, and joy into my work.

In August we had the pleasure of welcoming Jessica Farhat, another Sales + Business Operations intern, to the Hello Social Co. team! Since her start, she's been working to learn all about how HSC works, our service offerings, and will be working to improve our business internally as well as for our clients.

With Jessica's background, she'll also be helping us dig into some client work and learn about our signature strategy process.

"Hello! My name is Jessica and I am a new intern for the Hello Social Co. team this fall! I am a public relations major and photo minor at Penn State. During my time with this internship, I am excited to see what goes on behind the scenes in a hands-on experience in the world of marketing and creative strategy building. I am looking forward to working with such a great team, and learning as much as possible."

Welcome, Jessica!

Life-first, always, from Katey ✨

For me, “life first” looks like coffee runs to my favorite local spot, mid-day breaks to let out the neighbor’s dogs, and most recently, setting up my new home office.

Last week, I got to work bayside in New Jersey, balancing laptop time (Director of Barketing always included) with lunch in the salty air. It’s the kind of flexibility that makes this work not just sustainable, but inspiring.
When I’m able to create space for the people, pets, and places that matter most, I show up with more creativity and energy for our clients, too.

Celebrating creator x client collaborations ✨

We recently had the opportunity to pair up creator Alysse Dalessandro with the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts.

Throughout the week of the festival, Alysse perfectly captured the ambience and inclusivity of this State College-staple event. Alysse's strategy included engaging polls and interactive content that drove more traffic to the event accounts and in-person attendance.

Looking ahead to next year, this partnership features a save-the-date post that Alysse will post so that travelers within driving distance to the event can plan to attend in 2026.

Thanks for working with us on a great partnership, Alysse!

This is what happens when placemaking meets purpose.

We've been proud to partner with Titan Hollow for social media support for a while now 🧡
