About Us
Strategy with Soul, Content with Intention
At Make It Real – Media, we don't just post for the sake of posting. We turn your Instagram into a digital storefront that speaks for you, connects with your people, and helps your business grow.
We’re a boutique agency that works with local businesses like yours—with a special love for food, culture, and the real stories behind every brand.
Our goal is simple: to help you share what you do with pride, clarity, and emotion. We want more people to find you, trust you, and choose you.
We know what moves you: full tables, happy clients, being recognized for your hard work, and growing without losing your essence. That’s why we create strategies that feel real, show off what you do best, and bring results you can see—more visibility, more connection, more community.
We don’t sell magic tricks. We make what you already have shine brighter.
Behind the Magic ✨
This is what happens when your business starts to shine online. We don’t follow templates—we create strategies aligned with your real goals. Here’s how we make it happen:
We align with your business goals
We help you become the best version of your business by connecting people, processes, products, and purpose. We start with a good conversation to understand your dreams, your struggles, and where you want to take your business.
We take a close look at your Instagram
We identify what’s holding you back—from how your profile looks to what you say and how you connect with others. You get a clear and honest visual diagnosis—no fluff.
We define what makes you special
Together, we shape your story: what drives you, what you offer, and how to express it. We help you speak to your audience with heart, authenticity, and clarity.
We plan your content with intention
We design a content calendar that speaks for you, with posts that reflect who you are and connect with the real lives of your customers. No improvising, no copy-paste.
We bring consistency to your profile
Your Instagram is your storefront. We adjust your colors, photos, bio, and highlights so everything looks professional, real, and in tune with what you sell and who you are.
We boost your reach with campaigns
We create ads that actually reach the people you want to attract. No empty likes—we focus on real results: bookings, messages, visits, sales.
We track, analyze, and adjust
Nothing is left to chance. We monitor what’s working and what’s not, so we can fine-tune your strategy and help you grow with purpose and clarity.
“Your Instagram isn’t just a feed—it’s your first impression, your story, your sales funnel. We make sure it works like one.”
What Makes Us Different (and Real)
We know what it takes to build something from the ground up. We also know the daily reality of running a local business—long hours, tight margins, big dreams. That’s why we don’t come in with fancy buzzwords or empty promises. We show up to listen, understand, and walk with you every step of the way.
Because we speak your language
You don’t need to know marketing or social media. We make sure your Instagram speaks for you—with heart, clarity, and intention.
Because we see your hustle
Many of our clients are people who’ve built their businesses with hard work, passion, and sacrifice. We treat your story with the respect and care it deserves.
Because we don’t sell likes—we build real connection
We focus on reaching the right people: those who want to eat your food, walk through your door, or send you a message.
Because we help you shine without losing who you are
It’s not about pretending to be something you’re not. It’s about showing the world all the good you already do—with strategy, intention, and heart.
We build brands, connection, and community

Let’s make the first move—on us.
You’re in a good place, but maybe you feel things could flow better. Maybe what you’re sharing online isn’t really showing who you are or bringing in the people you want to serve. Let’s change that. Let’s talk. And let’s make it real—together.
