Why S.A.M?
Socially Acceptable Media is a play on words - isn’t it obvious? Kudos to Dana for the name selection there!
At a base level, we are social media managers specifically for the worlds of Instagram and email marketing, but we have a bigger purpose:
S.A.M. was born from this notion of business professionals in the Instagram space behaving in a socially unacceptable way and quite frankly - cringeworthy at times.
What does S.A.M. stand for besides social acceptable/accountable media? We want to talk about the not-so-fun stuff that gets discussed or sometimes skipped over by some business pros online, and how to navigate the major world issues and events on the social media platforms we all know and love.
So let’s just get these out in the open:
We stand for women’s rights, were pro-choice and alies of the LGBTQ+ community. When issues and world events such as Black Lives Matter, Roe v Wade, the invasion of the Ukraine, and targeted attacks on Davie Street bars and clubs happen - we want to talk about it.
Now we’re not saying we have all the answers on how to behave online, because to each their own, BUT we do follow the notion of:
Freedom of speech does not come without freedom of consequence - and this goes both ways.
Sometimes Instagram users are faulted for speaking up about issues that are close to their hearts, and sometimes they’re equally faulted and chastised for saying nothing at all and playing the ignorance is bliss role - both are different paths to choose and both have many pros and cons too.
At S.A.M. we can promise you that when world events, social justice issues, and just plain awkward situations or human behavior happen - we’re going to talk about it and be here to help clients and followers navigate it all too.
As social media managers and strategists, we are right here alongside you being users of this awesome platform - but we don’t take the responsibility of managing Instagram accounts on behalf of our client’s lightly. We know that there is a major responsibility to each client to ensure that their voice, their brand, their tones are coming through with every story, reel or photo posted to their account.
Our role in managing accounts and creating damn good content for them has a whole other side to it - we’re here to make you stand out online while keeping it kosher, aka in a Socially Acceptable way.
