WEBSITE & SOCIAL MEDIA
CONTENT
For the love of Pete, as Nana says, don’t ignore the impact of your website and social content. Effective content marketing starts with high-converting website copy that tells your story at a high level of quality—on your site as well as on your socials. We create the roadmap, the calendar, and the content—stepping in wherever you need support.
THE STORIES WE TELL
As a content marketing agency, we tell stories for brands, using digital marketing and content marketing tactics to reach the right audiences, and amplify results. Our passion is telling real stories. Human stories. Stories that delight. And inspire. And that prompt action that matters.
Here, we’ll share stories about our own lessons. We’ll let you know what works, and what doesn’t. We’ll share failures along with successes.
We work with brands who are brave, who want to inspire change–because we too want to inspire change: to do better for women and kids in our communities. We invite you to join us on our journey.

As a small business owner considering marketing, my first question was: what is it going to cost? To my surprise, Shannon was willing to develop a plan within my budget—most importantly, with a positive energy that kept me going. This is a great team of great people with great skills, who made it so much easier to start a new business.”

Through careful and creative planning, Forge & Spark’s posts built our social media presence from the ground up. One of the things I appreciated most was the team’s ability to acknowledge when something wasn’t working and their above-and-beyond effort and contributions to the project because they were so passionate about it.

I appreciated the confidence Shannon had in taking my words and capturing the essence of the project. I also had a tight deadline which was accommodated with realistic expectations. Shannon is empathetic and involved. There’s a real connection.
