I can see that someone else has left a similar review. They promise to promote your channel with a celebrity. they don't mention that it's a Spanish speaking celebrity and therefore all the new followers will not understand anything you have to say.

SCAM. On 6/30/2020, I hired TSMA Consulting to perform Instagram cross-promotions, as advertised on their website. The vendor committed to "book a celebrity with an audience of 500K+ followers. " Instead, they ran a contest on their own TSMA Spanish-speaking Instagram account (@devolviendote) of 74K followers compelling users to to follow my account and all other accounts they are following for 30 days in order to enter the contest. This was not "genuine growth" as promised, it was not in my industry or even an audience that could be communicated with on my English-speaking account, and it did not even meet the promised 500K follower threshold. Refund refused repeatedly and I had to initiate a chargeback with my credit card company. AVOID. More...

I am super happy to have found Ryan and the TSMA group. When I met them I had no idea what I was doing. I was so far behind in the social media game because for a long time, I had 0 social media profiles. The last thing I had was FB and I had deactivated it long before Instagram became popular. Yes, I was one of those people who didn't know what a hashtag was. I tried growing it on my own but since I didn't know anything, of course it didn't grow very much very fast at all. I was doing soooooo much work for so little payoff.After I found TSMA and started implementing their strategies and tips, I grew at a significant rate. It was so nice. I started to feel like the returns matched the amount of work I was putting in, and that was amazing. I didn't feel like I was wasting my time anymore. They were all very real, very engaged followers. I haven't checked since Instagram implemented their new algorithm, but last time I looked I had about a 15% engagement rate, which for my numbers is extremely high. I get as many comments and likes as profiles that have around 5 times my number of followers. I'm sure Ryan can give you some better stories and examples of how a larger following can benefit you. Here are some ways I have personally benefited from having a larger following than average:-Other actors and independent filmmakers reach out to work with me-I was invited as a special guest to an event that had industry executives in attendance and got VIP treatment-Got more than 100 subscribers within the first 24 hours of making a YouTube.When Instagram implemented their new algorithm stuff and stopped showing my content to anyone new, I automatically turned to Ryan for help because I knew they'd be on top of the game. I was right and of course they were, and now my numbers are climbing back up. Ryan and TSMA definitely know their stuff. Anytime in the future Instagram changes stuff I know who I'm going to turn to.

Ben and Ryan approach Instagram in a way that fuses the science and stats of the medium, with practical and FUN tips on how to maximize the experience. I really appreciate that they shared their own journeys and evolution of their own accounts, because it illustrated how every tweak created tangible results.

Ryan and Ben teach an excellent workshop. They have a great understanding of Instagram, why it is important for actors, how it can be an essential weapon in your artistic utility belt, and how to wield it. I attended the WeMakeMovies presentation evening and it was a pleasure to meet and learn from both of them. Their blend of industry knowledge and practical experience provides an excellent context for the classes - as actors they have successfully built their followings to Micro Influencer status, and from the Casting Director side they have understood and seen the importance of having a solid social media presence.Instagram is not just about taking a photo of your dinner and posting it, or at least not if you want to use it to build your acting career. Ben and Ryan show you how to prioritise, plan and implement a strategy that will 10x your chances of success.My name is Marcus J Freed and I approve this message. More...

I went to the TSMA workshop primarily because I had heard of Instagram, but had no idea how it worked or its benefits. As an actress I know it is important to be on social media, but I am not crazy about social networking (was glad to hear Ryan felt that way too! ) and am definitely not good at it. This workshop showed me how to utilize Instagram step by step, highlighting the most important things to do to get started. I got a better understanding of how this social medium works and its value. Ben Whitehair and Ryan Walker gave me a clear understanding of what I now need to do. Getting this information got me excited at what can be accomplished through Instagram. Not tech savvy (it took me a year to get my website done!), but this seems simple enough. I just need to figure out my ‘brands” to get going. So happy they also emailed us about hashtags--something I admit to complete ignorance! Appreciate these actors who have attained success for paying it forward with this workshop to help those of us that are completely lost in this new age of digital marketing! More...

Q&As

The best part of our job is seeing our clients and partners response to our results. Common results are: immense relief, exclamations of happiness and tears of joy. When our strategy and growth tactics consistently work, there is no better feeling.

I noticed in Los Angeles a major problem. Many "social media" companies were taking advantage of businesses and individuals who, due to a lack of understanding, would hire them. These companies would purchase fake followers, feign engagement, and ultimately destroy the company or person's digital presence.

We began working with SAG-AFTRA to protect and educate, and out came our response; a company that finally does things the honest and right way.

We love our clients. At the end of the day, a large following means nothing if it isn't helping your business and career.

We see everyone we work with as partners, and our team of over two dozen hard-working, passionate, and innovative millennial's not only constantly monitor changes in the social media space now, we grew up with it ingrained in our culture.

We would be honored to be given the opportunity to work with you to help you reach your digital goals.
