I build the marketing strategy, my team and I produce the content, and we run the channels. So your marketing finally connects to your business, not just your feed.
Marketing strategy, content creation and social media marketing for businesses in Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton and nationwide.
In marketing, from international development programs to my own agency
I build your strategy and stay on your account
Real content of your business. Never stock.
I’m Maya Cakar, marketing strategist and founder of Grow Social Media. Before anything goes live, I answer a harder question: what should your brand be saying, to whom, and what is it supposed to produce?
More than ten years in marketing, including USAID and UNDP programs where I helped small businesses across the Balkans build and market their brands.
I keep learning so your strategy doesn’t go stale. In 2026 alone I’ve invested more than $15,000 in training, AI and marketing education.
I use AI as leverage, not as the product. It helps us move faster on ideas, captions and workflows. The judgment stays human.
I tell you the truth. Sometimes the real problem isn’t the marketing. It’s the follow-up, the front desk or the experience. When it is, I’ll say so.
Ongoing management, a deeper growth partnership, or a one-time build that trains your team to take over. Every engagement starts with a discovery call, so the scope is clear before anything begins.

Here’s how we work together, from the first call on.
A free 20-minute conversation about your business, your audience and your goals. If we’re a fit, I’ll recommend the option that makes sense. If we’re not, I’ll tell you.
I research your market, your competitors and where your buyers actually spend their time. Then I build the plan: what to say, to whom, in which formats and on which channels.
For local businesses, my team and I shoot on location and edit everything properly. If you’re outside my area, we set up a simple way for you to send footage and I handle the rest. Real photos and video, never stock. You see the month before anything goes live.
Captions, scheduling, publishing and engagement, handled. Every month you get a plain-language report on what worked and what we change next.
Most businesses put everything into one platform and wait. I’d rather find out where your buyers actually are, and then go there. We test, we watch, and we put the effort where it returns.
Search still sends ready-to-buy people. Most businesses haven’t touched their listing in years.
For the right audience, a local group can bring more real inquiries than a polished feed.
It’s where people check whether you’re real. It isn’t always where they buy.
Referrals built this business. They can be encouraged on purpose, not left to luck.
I build your strategy and stay on your account. It’s never handed to a junior after the sales call.
Not stock, not recycled, not generated. Real footage of your business, edited properly.
A small roster, so every account gets real attention.
Nothing meaningful can be judged in four weeks.
Book a free 20-minute discovery call. We’ll talk about your business, where it is now and what you want your marketing to do. Senior-led, three-month minimum, and honest about what marketing can and cannot fix.
