Looking for asocial partner

Two businesses, one community

The same team operates both. The audiences are different — one sells to households, the other to people running food businesses — but they overlap more than you'd expect.

What we're looking for

An ongoing partner to run our social accounts — content creation, on-site capture, publishing, community management, and monthly reporting. Both businesses, across three platforms.

We'd rather do two platforms properly than three adequately. If your read is that TikTok isn't worth it at our size, say so — that's a useful answer, not a lost sale.

Both businesses need on-site capture on the fulfillment day. Exact volumes, cadences, and terms come after we know there's mutual interest.

We run on a weekly clock

This is the thing that decides fit, so it's worth saying plainly up front.

Orders close Monday at 12:00 PM PT. Boxes are packed midweek and go out Thursday, with pickup running Thursday through Sunday evening. What goes in the box depends on what's good that week, so our strongest content can't be planned a month in advance.

The part most agencies find hardest

Our accounts aren't a brand-building exercise. Someone hears about us from a neighbor, opens the profile, and decides whether we're a real person or a subscription trap. That job gets harder, not easier, the more produced the content looks.

• Fast and real beats polished. Phone-shot, in progress, unretouched. If it looks like an agency made it, it stops working.
• Written like a text from a friend, in the founder's voice — not a brand's.
• No discount or urgency language. Not a deal, not a splurge. We never discount and we don't fake scarcity.
• A shared list of words we don't use. It's longer than most and we hold to it.

A partner who finds this restrictive probably isn't the right partner. A partner who finds it clarifying probably is.

A few things about us

• We don't want post-by-post approvals. We'd slow you down and it defeats the point. We do want a short review window on captions.
• We'd rather start short and extend. A long auto-renewing term is a hard sell for a business our size. Prove it works and we'll happily keep going.
• We expect to own the content, including raw files, delivered as we go rather than held to the end.
• Community management matters more than reach. We know every subscriber by name. A mishandled DM is a lost customer, not a dip in a metric.
• One point of contact each way. Direct, over email, no account-management layer cake.

Not asking for a proposal yet

We don't want anyone building a full quote on spec. Send a short note first — if the shape works for both of us, we'll share the detailed scope and ask for real numbers.

1. You replyBrief intro, two accounts you currently manage that are relevant, your read on TikTok for a business this local, and whether a Thursday capture day and same-week turnaround are workable for your team.
2. We talkShort call. We'll walk you through the detail, share our budget range, and answer whatever you need.
3. You quoteFormal scope goes over, you come back with pricing. No spec work before that point.
