About

Strive Social Media provides social media and digital marketing services to small businesses and non-profits in Edmonton, AB.

To strive is an action that unites humans in our journey to better ourselves and the world around us. 

 

I founded Strive Social to create a better lifestyle for myself after a long period of clinical depression. During my recovery, I was forced to re-evaluate where I spend my energy. I had done freelance work off the side of my desk for a few years already, so I decided to go all in. One of my greatest joys is being able to set my own schedule and work with clients who make a difference in their communities.

 

My social media strategy focuses on engagement, the metric that converts best into sales. I create authentic content that speaks to your ideal customer and inspires them to act: following, donating or buying from you. 

If your brand is community-based and values-driven, then we're a perfect match.

 

Since I started my career in the non-profit sector, I'm well acquainted with limited budgets. It's probably why I excel at organic social media, boosting your results without the need for a big ad budget.
