Cincinnati's Instagram agency
for local brands.

I was really stubborn. I wanted to just do it myself and save the money, but the second it came off my plate, it became fun.

Hi, I’m Jill. I own DEFINE in Oakley. We are a boutique fitness studio. I get paid to work out. It’s great.

The amount of time that I was spending building posts for this place and getting the content was unbelievable. It was so overwhelming. And I even have a background in marketing.

It’s a very crowded space in Cincinnati. There’s a lot of fitness studios in Cincinnati. We came in with a completely different strategy, with fun and unique and unexpected content, when we brought on Scroll. Now, almost three years later, we’re seeing some of our competitors do the same thing because they can tell it’s working.

We used to just do social media because you have to do social media, especially as a local business, but it was nothing special. To now, it’s like a form of entertainment that our clients look forward to, and they’re laughing and talking about it around here. And the amount of posts that we get to see shared, hopefully to their friends that don’t know about DEFINE or don’t already come here, has dramatically increased. And that’s 100% because of Scroll.

I’ve never felt like I have to manage Scroll as a partner. They just kind of got it from day one. It frees up a lot of mind space, and it makes something that’s currently stressful way more fun.

Before Scroll, my social media was really heavy.

Hi, I’m Erin Roddy. I’m the designer and founder of MEAS Active, a small local active apparel brand in Cincinnati, Ohio.

The frustrating part, I think, was having the time as a business owner to have a consistent feed and to have consistent content. The consistency is so important, and as a brand and a business owner, finding time to have consistent posts and creating that content outside of designing the apparel, outside of running the store, just becomes very challenging.

So I knew I really needed to find somebody a little bit more serious, with a lot more knowledge, that I could work with, so that I could continue to work behind the scenes, growing the business, growing the brand.

I get customers that come in and say, “Oh my gosh, I love your social media,” or “I saw this garment, saw this style,” or “I saw this new set, and I loved it enough to come in or make the purchase.”

So the fact that it’s taken off my plate, and I’m not having to look at the competitors or I’m not having to look at other brands or businesses, that’s a huge relief for me, and a testament to how much I can be hands-off when I’m working on stuff.

Chase Smith: That lead came in, converted, turned into three additional clients.

Chase Gianattasio, Scroll Media: All right, I want to get into results. We’ve been working together four months or so now. I want you to tell me about any type of leads you’ve gotten, or new customers.

Chase Smith: It’s almost been overwhelming. Even with a brand-new account, a low-follower account, what I’m seeing, the engagement from it has just been far exceeding my expectations. The first month we worked together, that lead came in, converted, turned into three additional clients, which for me is massive. It’s game changing. The more exciting things are the messages on LinkedIn, where my content’s also being shared from what you produce on Instagram, where it’s high-level people up in their companies, and not just small businesses anymore: medium to large-size enterprise. “Hey Chase, I see what you’re doing. I think it’s really cool. Do you want to talk?” They really want to understand, because they see the vision that I see based on the content that I’m putting out.

Chase Gianattasio: We’re not running any paid ads. We started posting consistently for a new account roughly three months ago.

Chase Smith: It is a fact that the social media presence and the content that you all have put out have turned into direct revenue for me that already are outweighing the costs of your service.
