Social Media
Your online presence increasingly defines who you are to an entire world of people who otherwise may never physically meet you. This also applies to your business or organization. You may have an online presence and not even know it. The good news is you can define that online presence through social media. Varve Studios can help you not only define your online presence, but shows you how to use social media effectively to grow your reputation and brand.
There's a saying that if you're not on Google, you don't exist. With traffic to social networks such as Facebook rapidly eclipsing traffic to Google, your Web presence must now extend to several areas.
Social media captures a huge range of meanings but essentially describes people interacting online. That's the social part - people communicating and creating relationships. The media part is entirely digital, but can include everything from written text, to images, video, and audio. People have been communicating online since two computers could form a network, but it has not been until the relatively recent surge in technology and Internet availability that it has become part of everyday life.
It is increasingly rare that anyone turns to an ad magazine or phone book when seeking out a company for services. Google or Facebook are often the starting point, and a strong presence on the Web, if executed correctly, is not only beneficial but becoming essential with each passing month. The number of social media channels and possible strategies can be bewildering but Varve Studios works with you to obtain a clear understanding while developing approaches that are effective for you and your business.
Varve Studios' design experience and social media knowledge allows for effective branding across your Web presence. Consistent branding and fresh design allows for customized design across various social networks including facebook, twitter, YouTube, among others.
Using strong web design skills, professional photography, and marketing experience, your social media channels will be effective and instantly recognizable. Combine your unique design and brand with a sound online strategy customized to you and your organization.

Tools such as Facebook and Twitter have developed into effective platforms for building relationships and communicating with not only friends, but new and existing clients. You will quickly see traditional marketing is not applicable in these exciting environments, which have ironically shifted the focus back onto human relationships. Each individual and business can make use of many of the available media and you can rapidly develop an effective road-map by letting Varve Studios guide you.
My one-on-one consulting services are focused on your needs and questions. If you are new to social media and wondering how it all fits together we will quickly work through the essentials bringing you up to date on current tools, approaches, and trends. You'll learn more in one hour than you will in a month on your own.
If you are already familiar with social media, but looking to launch a new service or product effectively, I can provide direct advice and strategies on how best to proceed. Perhaps you are wondering about moving beyond text into audio or video and how best to integrate these media into your current online presence. Alternatively, you may be looking to expand into other social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and LinkedIn and want to know how to properly enter these areas.
How It Works
Each consulting session takes place in one hour or two hour blocks. Prior to a session I'll contact you to get some background on your goals and what you may prefer to focus on. This will ensure you learn what you need in order to bring you to the next level. We will meet in person and work directly on your computer or, if preferred, on a computer I will provide. Alternatively we can also work together remotely using Web-based conferencing where we can talk while working on a computer we can both see and control remotely.
Some example introductory topics include:
1) Overview of key social media channels including optimal configuration and design options.
2) The right and wrong methods of using facebook, twitter, and other social media channels for business and personal branding.
3) Software platforms for managing multiple social media channels.
4) Setting up and using blogs (I recommend and use WordPress).
5) Technical troubleshooting for any existing websites or blogs.
6) Setting up an online business.
7) Building transparency and credibility in the online world.
All coaching and training sessions are customized for your goals, and as a result can cover a variety of topics. Beyond focusing on social media, coaching sessions can also extend into technical areas such as web design, coding, online marketing, effective small business computing, among others. I also offer coaching services for photography. Throw me your topics and questions and we'll design an optimal coaching session that covers your needs.
