Agency Credentials
This page is the official agency reference for Marr Media Group.

1. Who We Are ποΈ
Marr Media Group is a social-first agency that helps DTC and consumer product brands grow through social media. Founded by Tessa May Marr in 2014, we are built on one belief: social media is more than a supporting channel, it's a revenue generating channel.
β
That's why we're a social-first agency. We don't try to be everything to everyone. We're not web designers, SEO consultants, or a traditional full-service marketing agency. We specialize in social media because that's where modern brands earn attention, build trust, and drive growth. Our focus allows us to go deeper, move faster, and deliver better results.
β
Our team is spread across Canada. Our clients are across North America. We embed directly into their marketing teams, becoming an extension of the business rather than an external vendor.

3. Why Marr Media Works π‘
We work for three reasons: we're strategy-forward, we're social-first, and we're genuinely fun to work with.
β
Strategy-forward
We donβt believe in spray-and-pray content. Every post exists for a reason. Every strategy is tied to a goal. Every outcome is measured. Our focus is simple: customers, revenue, and email subscribers, not vanity metrics like likes.
β
Social-first
Social isnβt a channel for us. Itβs the channel. Thatβs a deliberate choice. Depth beats breadth when youβre aiming for real business outcomes, and weβve built our entire approach around that focus.
β
We're fun to work with
We focus on building an environment where people want to stay, so momentum continues to build. Weβre fun to work with, which is why many of our team members and clients have been with us since the early days. That consistency leads to stronger relationships, smoother execution, and better results.
β
The Marr Method
Those three things don't mean much without a process to back them up. The Marr Method is how we keep ourselves accountable to all of it. A repeatable cycle of strategy, execution, evaluation, and refinement that keeps us proactive, not reactive. (Ask the team, they love talking about it.)
β
All of it in service of one promise: Meaningful Growth with Great People.
β
β
4. What We Do π οΈ
As a social-first agency, we tie every solution to a business goal, a level of support, and measurable results.
β
Our Solution: Full Service Social Media Management
We run your channels end to end and embed as part of your marketing team. Packaged outcomes, not task lists.
β
Services We Provide
- Strategy and planning
- Organic content
- Paid social (Meta, TikTok, YouTube)
- Influencer and affiliate marketing
- UGC sourcing and management
- Email marketing
- Community management
- Reporting and analytics
β
Platforms We Operate Across
- TikTok
- Meta (Facebook and Instagram)
- YouTube
β
Every client is different, so we start where their customers already are and watch where new attention is emerging. Once we understand where people are paying attention, we show up there, communicate with them, and make sure everything links back to revenue.
β
The objective is simple: turn rented attention into owned attention by converting platform audiences into email subscribers, repeat buyers, and brand advocates.
β
β
β
5. Why Social-First π‘
Social is the most direct, measurable revenue channel a brand has. It's where buyers live, where trust is built, and where purchase decisions start. Most agencies treat it like a bulletin board. We treat it like a business lever.
β
Three patterns we see in brands that come to us:
β
The Vanity Trap
Followers. Likes. A posting schedule. Zero revenue from social. The metrics look fine. The business results do not.
- We rebuild social around revenue goals, not vanity metrics. Every post has a job. Every strategy gets measured against what actually matters: customers, sales, and email subscribers.
β
The Dormant Brand
The audience exists. The content stopped. Untapped demand sitting in an idle channel.
- We reactivate dormant accounts and turn existing audiences into buyers. No new production budget required to get started.
β
The Fluffy Agency
The last agency posted content, sent reports, showed follower growth, and never once asked what the spend was returning in revenue.
- We tie every dollar and every post to a business outcome. If it is not driving revenue, we change it.
β
β
6. Who We Help π―
Our ideal clients are consumer product brands ready to scale their brand through social media.
β
- DTC and retail brands with strong products but an underdeveloped or inconsistent social presence
- Brands that have tried social but have not been able to translate it into consistent revenue
- Companies moving from in-house social media to an agency partner
- Established brands typically generating $7M+ in annual revenue
- They have a defined multi-channel strategy, a clear brand identity, and a commitment to long-term growth
β
Industries we know well: outdoor and action sports, food and beverage, lifestyle and homewares, fitness and wellness, and CPG brands. If storytelling and community drive purchase decisions in your category, we are built for you.
