Meet the team of rockstars
we've assembled
TESSA MAY MARR
CEO & Social Media Rockstar
I'm an entrepreneur at heart -- I'm reminded of this everyday. I love social media, so much that I made it my day job. I love to travel, and endeavour to see the world, or as much of it as possible. I love yoga, for what it does to my body and my mind and I love wine. Red, in particular. I get to live my dream everyday, from anywhere in the world, and that's pretty cool.
CASEY MATHISON
Designer & Lead Brand Experience Manager
I'm a graphic designer and social media addict based out of Calgary, Alberta. When I'm not busy scrolling or creating, I can most likely be found on a mountain top somewhere or reading the latest girl power biography. Whenever possible, I am travelling around, trying to see all four corners of our world and everything in between.
CASSIE BRATTON
Brand Experience Manager
I am a wanna-be plant mom, self-proclaimed flower child, and an absolute coffee addict based in Calgary, Alberta. When I'm not handling socials, you can find me working on a painting (shameless plug, check out my art on Instagram @cassbrattart), bingeing the latest fad on Netflix, or breaking up my workday by running a casual half-marathon.
CHEYANNE ACKERSON
Brand Experience Manager
I am an event planner based in the Okanagan and a lover of social media. I create connections and grow communities both online and offline. My love for beautiful things, my attention to detail and keen eye for design are what inspire me to create beautifully curated content that tell a story.
MADISON CHARNEY
Brand Experience Manager
I'm a team player that strives to keep everyone happy. My sporting background brings an element of competition, and the drive to be successful into my daily life. But don't be fooled- I eat ice cream and enjoy a couch day with my pups on the regular! I love social media and the power that it holds. It's amazing how imagery can create connections across globe; simply by shining a light on someone else's life for just a moment. I thrive when helping others create those unique moments, and then sharing them with the world!
BRITT LEMOINE
Brand Experience Manager
For nearly two decades, my passion for marketing and helping businesses grow has led me to work alongside multiple sectors and industries! I've always had a fascination for growth when it comes to brands, humans and especially myself! I look at story-telling as an art and my unique perspective often creates one-of-a-kind content.
GABRIELLE GILLESPIE
Brand Experience Manager
I am a social media addict based out of London, ON! Social media is such a powerful tool that can be utilized to tell stories and connect people globally. When I'm not scrolling on social platforms, I am getting sweaty through dance or at-home workouts, watching true crime docs, or quoting The Office while snacking on my favourite sweets. I am inspired every day by the creativity I find online, and can't wait to help others tell their stories through social.
JAMIE CAMPBELL
Brand Experience Manager
I’m a communications professional with a strong interest in social media and have an educational background in public relations and marketing. I have almost a decade of agency experience and have worked across multiple industries. I excel when utilizing my creativity to amplify brands and love to pair it with a thoughtful social media strategy. On my days off, you can find me appreciating the outdoors hiking or snowboarding, and finishing the day with a good beer.
RILEY LAFORGE
Brand Experience Manager
I am a marketing and food enthusiast based in Banff, AB. I use social media to create connections between brands and their communities. When I am not online you can find me reading thrillers, rock climbing, or sipping wine!

5 Reasons you should hire us
WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR A WHILE NOW.
Our CEO started working in the social media space back in 2012 (before Instagram Stories was even a thing!) and Marr Media was officially founded in 2014. We’ve seen new platforms emerge and either grow to captivate new audiences, or die sad, unfortunate deaths (RIP Vine!). we’ve seen how quickly and relentlessly this space changes and we know what it takes to keep up to date with the new. It’s not for the faint of heart, but it sure is exciting!
You don’t have to take our word for it (and you probably shouldn’t if you’re doing your due diligence). Our happy clients have offered us glowing reviews which you can find in our Customer Stories section, along with some Case Studies to provide you with more context and insight.
WE'VE GOT PROOF WE'RE AWESOME
Now don’t get us wrong, we do know the value of our time. What we mean here by “cheaper” is: We work remote from my own home, so you don’t have to waste precious office space on me. You also aren't paying for our expensive cappuccino maker, ergonomic keyboards and trendy standup desks. Our virtual office means that those extra office expenses, don’t get worked into our rates. We provide our own equipment (ie. laptop and Smartphone) so you save money there. We don’t believe you need a full-time social media marketer to execute your brand. And while others may try to convince you you do (why wouldn't they want a cushy full-time salary and competitive benefit package?), we're here to tell you - you don’t. You probably need anywhere from 10-40 hours/month to do the job well. And we can customize the right package at the right price for the right amount of time.
WE'RE CHEAPER
"I started in social working with my own brand; an organization I used to own and operate called Gluten Free Calgary. We grew a large and engaged community to share resources and support for anyone living gluten-free in Calgary or beyond. I was then able to activate that community to launch a subscription box product that generated a sustainable revenue model, as well as intice strategic partnerships and sell website advertising. An engaged community is valuable! Since then, I’ve expanded beyond this to work with B2B and B2C brands in marketing technology, fitness, education, medicine, and consumer-packaged goods as well. What I learned is that each brand and industry needs a unique strategy to accomplish their specific goals and objectives on social media. And I know how to build one." - Tessa May Marr, CEO & Founder, Mad Media
WE'VE WORKED WITH MANY DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES
They say it takes a village to raise a child right? Well we say, it takes a #DreamTeam to run social and do a great job of it.

Just try and find all of that in one person…. Or don’t bother - because you have us. You deal with one point person to keep things streamlined for you and let us make the magic happen together behind the scenes.
