Hi, I’m Tonya — founder of Like It Marketing, a boutique marketing partner helping service-based businesses show up, connect, and grow with purpose. That’s why I blend strategy, storytelling, and systems to help businesses build visibility, strengthen relationships, and turn trust into results. As a wife, mom, and lifelong communicator, I know how important it is for your marketing to feel good — aligned with your values, your voice, and the people you’re called to serve. If you’re ready for marketing that’s kind, strategic, and actually works — you’ll probably like it here. 💙

Social media management is a lot more than writing a caption and hitting “post.”

In any given month, I’m moving between strategy sessions, content calendars, copywriting, graphics, Stories, engagement, client communication, revisions, scheduling, newsletters and monthly reporting.

And while I genuinely love creating content, some of the most important parts of my job happen before a post ever makes it to your feed.

It’s learning a client’s voice well enough to know when something doesn’t sound like them.

It’s looking at the numbers and asking why something worked — and what we should do with that information next.

It’s keeping an eye on upcoming events, business priorities and community conversations so the content actually supports what’s happening outside of social media.

And sometimes, it’s simply making sure one more thing is taken off a busy business owner’s plate.

Because good social media management isn’t just about keeping your accounts active.

It’s about having someone in your corner who understands your business, thinks strategically about your presence and helps you consistently show up like you. 💙

That’s always been the kind of partner I want Like It Marketing to be.

One of my favorite parts of every month is reviewing client reports.

Not because I love numbers (although... I kind of do 😄), but because the data always tells a story.

This month, I reviewed reports for five very different clients.

Different industries.
Different audiences.
Different goals.

And guess what?

None of them had the same top-performing content.

That's why I don't believe in one-size-fits-all marketing advice.

What works for a nonprofit may fall flat for a recruiting firm. What resonates with one audience might not resonate with another.

The goal isn't to copy someone else's strategy.

It's to understand your audience, test intentionally, and let the data guide your next move.

That's exactly why I create monthly reports for my clients. They're not just a recap of what happened, they're a roadmap for what's next.

Last month, I tried glassblowing for the first time.

It was beautiful…

…and much harder than it looked.

Every step mattered.

Too much heat? Problems.

Too little? Problems.

Move too quickly? Problems.

It reminded me so much of marketing.

People often think successful marketing comes from one brilliant idea or one viral post.

But the brands that grow aren’t built that way.

They’re built through consistency.

Showing up.

Learning.

Adjusting.

Refining.

Again and again.

It may not be the most exciting answer…

But it’s usually the honest one.

There’s a certain kind of relief that comes when you realize you don’t have to do it all. 🤍

For Sarah, owner of Swim Dynamic Lakeland and Sweet Peas Gymnastics Lakeland, partnering with Like It Marketing meant taking social media off her team’s plate—without losing the personality and heart behind her brands.

We keep their social media active.
We engage with their community.
We create content that feels true to who they are.
And we’re there when they need us with ideas, creativity, and support.

Because good marketing shouldn’t just give you more content.

It should give you 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀.

Sarah, thank you for trusting us with two brands you’ve poured so much into. It’s a joy to be part of what you’re building. 🤍

If social media has become one more thing you’re trying to squeeze into an already-full week, maybe it’s time to take it off your plate.

One thing I've heard from business owners is...

"I'm afraid no one will understand my business like I do."

Honestly?

You're right.

No one knows your business the way you do.

But outsourcing your marketing isn't about giving up control.

It's about gaining support.

You still have the vision.
You still know your customers.
You still make the important decisions.

My job is to help bring that vision to life consistently—so you're not squeezing social media into your evenings after an already full day.

The best client relationships don't replace the business owner.

They give them the space to focus on what only they can do.

And that's where the magic happens.

POV: The most satisfying click of the week… 🖱️💻

Shuts down desktop.

Me: “If anyone needs me now, they’ll have to wait until Monday.”

This week included:
✔️ Client reports
✔️ Content creation
✔️ Meetings
✔️ Strategy sessions
✔️ Newsletters
✔️ Accounting
✔️ Client communication
✔️ Social engagement
✔️ And even paying the Polk taxes before they became “future me’s problem.” 😂

Nothing glamorous—just a whole lot of getting things DONE.

Desktop: Powering down.
Brain: “We’re closed for the weekend.”

See y’all Monday. ✌️❤️

This summer reminded me what success actually looks like.

Not being online 24/7.
Not chasing every trend.
Not posting just for the sake of posting.

Instead…

✔️ Serving incredible clients.
✔️ Making memories with my family.
✔️ Building a business that supports the life I want to live.

That's also what I want for the business owners I work with.

Marketing shouldn't be one more thing stealing your evenings or weekends. It should be something you can confidently hand off, knowing it's being cared for by someone who understands your business.

As we head into a new season (hello, part-time daycare! 🤯), I'm excited to share a little more here again.

Thanks for being here. 🤍

One of the greatest compliments I can receive as a business owner is when a client comes back and says, "We want you to help with another brand, too."

That's exactly what happened with Sweet Peas Gymnastics Lakeland. 💙

Over the past seven months, I've had the privilege of managing social media for Swim Dynamic Lakeland. Throughout that time, we've built a strong partnership, and it's been so rewarding to watch their online community continue to grow through increased engagement and a steady stream of direct message inquiries.

Because of that experience, the owners invited me to come alongside their newest brand, Sweet Peas Gymnastics.

That kind of trust is something I never take for granted.

Marketing works best when it isn't just another vendor relationship. The best results come from true partnerships—when we learn your business, understand your goals, celebrate your wins, and work together over time.

To the team at Swim Dynamic and now Sweet Peas... thank you for believing in me and trusting Like It Marketing to help tell your story.

I'm so excited for what's ahead!

One of my favorite parts of what I do is getting to celebrate my clients' biggest milestones right alongside them. 💙✂️

Today, I had the privilege of attending the ribbon cutting for Swim Dynamic Lakeland...a moment that represents so much hard work, vision, and dedication.

Watching a business grow from behind the scenes is incredibly rewarding, and it's an honor to help tell their story through social media while cheering them on every step of the way.

Congratulations to the entire Swim Dynamic team! Thank you for trusting Like It Marketing to be part of your journey. Here's to this exciting new chapter and all that's ahead! 🌊

One of the biggest misconceptions about marketing is that it's supposed to solve every business problem.

It can't.

Marketing can help the right people discover your business.

It can help build trust.

It can generate inquiries.

It can encourage people to take the next step.

But marketing alone can't close the sale.

Think of it this way...

Marketing brings the horse to water.

Your customer experience, pricing, messaging, sales process, and follow-up are what encourage the horse to drink.

The businesses that see the best results don't just have great marketing—they have all the moving pieces working together.

✨ Clear messaging
✨ Strong branding
✨ Authentic photos and videos
✨ A defined target audience
✨ A great product or service
✨ A plan for following up with leads

Marketing is a long game, and when all of those pieces work together, that's where the magic really happens.

That's why I don't just create content...I partner with my clients to help build a marketing strategy that supports their bigger goals.
