Manifesto

We believe social media should not be a static feed, but an experience your audience chooses to enter. We build distinctive brand worlds where strategy meets storytelling, turning everyday content into moments that capture attention, spark curiosity, and invite connection. Every post has intention. Every detail has purpose. We do not manage feeds. We shape experiences that make brands worth following.

What we do

Every post has intention. Here’s where it comes from.

Four disciplines behind the work. Research first, storytelling second, and nothing published without a reason.

01

Market Research

Deep dive into your market, competitors, and target audience. We build a complete audience persona, map competitor positioning, and identify the gaps your brand can own.

  • Competitor analysis
  • Audience persona
  • Market positioning
  • Gap analysis
02

Trend Analytics

We study 20+ top-performing contents in your niche, breaking down length, hooks, captions, delivery, and content types. Every pattern gets identified and integrated into your strategy.

  • Trend research
  • Hook analysis
  • Content patterns
  • Performance data
03

Social Media Audit

A full audit of your current presence, from profile optimization to content performance. We assess what's working, what's not, and build the content pillars your brand needs.

  • Profile audit
  • Content pillars
  • Performance review
  • Platform strategy
04

Content Strategy

Audience research, content analysis, and a posting framework built around your brand voice. Every caption, hook, and content type is mapped to what actually drives engagement and inquiries.

  • Audience research
  • Content calendar
  • Caption frameworks
  • Engagement strategy

Choose Your Attitude

“Smoked Digital didn't just build us a website. They built a system. Leads started coming in within the first two weeks, and our calendar hasn't had a gap since. They understand what actually moves the needle for a small business.”

The Nick Strand

“I came in with a brand and zero online presence. They set up everything: the site, the socials, the ad funnel. Within 60 days I went from invisible to fully booked. These guys deliver exactly what they promise.”

Meet the team

Small team. No handoffs.

You work directly with the people doing the work. No account managers, no juniors learning on your budget.

James Derla

Founder & Strategy

The strategy half. Lives in market research and trend analytics: competitor breakdowns, audience personas, and the top-performing posts in your niche. Works out what a brand can credibly own before anyone picks up a camera.

  • Market research
  • Trend analytics
  • Competitor analysis
  • Content strategy

Shannen Manalo

Creative Director

The creative half. Takes the research and makes it watchable: photo and video editing, reels, hooks and captions, and the art direction that keeps a feed looking like one brand instead of thirty separate posts.

  • Photo & video editing
  • Reels
  • Captions & hooks
  • Art direction

Frequently asked

Straight answers, no marketing speak.

Real questions from owners on discovery calls. If yours isn’t here, email us at james@smokeddigital.com.

  • Six verticals: dental practices (cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, general), med spas and aesthetics clinics (injectables, laser, body contouring), real estate agents and brokerages, restaurants and food service, fitness studios and gyms (CrossFit, yoga, pilates, personal training), and law firms and attorneys. The common thread: local businesses where people check your feed before they ever pick up the phone.

  • It depends on scope, and we would rather quote you honestly than post a number that fits nobody. A dental practice running three platforms and a restaurant running one are not the same engagement. We work in three tiers, and we will walk you through all three on the call once we have seen your accounts. Retainers have a three-month minimum so the work has time to compound.

  • Organic growth takes consistency. You'll see engagement improvements within the first 30 days as we dial in your content strategy. By day 60 to 90, inbound inquiries from social media start picking up as the algorithm rewards consistent, trend-backed content. How fast that compounds depends on your starting point, your niche, and how much we can film.

  • Four disciplines make up the work. Market Research (competitor analysis, audience persona, market positioning). Trend Analytics (analyzing 20+ top contents, identifying patterns in hooks, captions, delivery, and content types). Social Media Audit (profile optimization, content performance review, content pillars). Content Strategy (audience research, posting framework, caption frameworks, engagement strategy). Take one or all four.

  • No. We focus exclusively on organic social media management. Our approach is built on research-driven content strategy, trend analytics, and consistent organic posting. No ad spend, no boosted posts. Just content that earns attention and drives inquiries naturally.

  • Wherever your audience actually is. For most of our clients that means Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. The specific mix depends on your vertical and where your ideal customers spend their time, which we identify during the market research phase.

  • We analyze 20+ top-performing contents in your niche, breaking down the length, hooks used, captions, delivery style, and content types. Every pattern gets documented and integrated into your content strategy so your posts follow what's actually working, not guesswork.

  • Weekly: a short update with reach, engagement, and content performance. Monthly: a full report covering growth metrics, content analysis, audience insights, and strategy adjustments. Quarterly: a 45-minute strategy session covering what's working, seasonal trends, and the next-quarter content plan.
