What if building the small business you love didn’t have to mean spending so much time on tasks you hate?

If stressing over what to post and keeping tabs on your favourite platform’s latest algorithmic updates (lookin’ at you, Mosseri) isn’t your idea of a good time…

…Here’s some good news: There’s an easier way.

When I first moved to Toronto to study advertising, it didn’t take me long to start feeling like a fish out of water. A lover of the simpler things in life, the ‘I’ll-sleep-when-I’m-dead’ mindset of those big-time advertising agencies never suited me.

This experience led me to discover something about myself that would change my life forever—that I am, at my core, a small-town kind of person. While the allure of corporate was enticing at times, I knew my heart was with small businesses…

…So long story short, I followed my heart and built Social Kat Media—a social media and content agency where we’re dedicated to helping small businesses get big results online.

In a roundabout way, many small business owners’ feelings about social media today mimic how I felt about the advertising industry back then:

You can see why other people like it—but it’s not for you. 

You sometimes feel like you’re going against the grain by not wanting to be part of it… 

AND—you feel instinctively that you’re meant to spend your energy in other ways. 

If you’re sick of searching for hashtags, feeling confused by what the heck you should be posting, and done with committing hours a week to creating content—

It’s time to get the social media stress off your plate, stat.

Nice to meet you!

I’m Kat Tepylo Murphy—Head of Strategy (and Memes) here at Social Kat Media, and your small business’s #1 fan. 

My clients know me as the gal who takes the stress out of showing up on social & makes connecting with your community FUN again… and frankly, it’s a reputation I’ve happily embraced.

Because growing your business SHOULD be fun! After all, that’s why you’re a small business owner instead of a corporate employee, right??

You built your local business because you had a dream of doing work you love, creating a true community, and making an impact in your corner of the world.

I built this business because I want to help you succeed with those goals—in a way that feels totally low-stress, easeful, and (dare I say?) even JOYFUL.

Whether you need a one-off template to get you through a busy season, a Power Hour session to get clear on your content, a comprehensive social media strategy so you can DIY your socials or monthly social media account management…

…The Social Kat Media team is here to take the pressure off & make it easier than ever to nurture and grow your community.
