Social Media Marketing

“A brand is no longer what we tell the customer it is – it is what consumers tell each other it is.” – Scott Cook (Founder of Intuit | board of directors @ ebay)

Ryan Skelly and Alex Cornier, both UCONN grads, have worked in sales and marketing since 2005. But that was not before a 10-year stint in the restaurant industry where they put themselves through college working front and back of the house duties from line cook and waiter, to bartender and restaurant manager.

FaceFwd Social, their social media company, started out of a passion for wanting to help businesses connect to a new and broader audience on social platforms.

FaceFwd Social specializes in helping restaurants and bars find more customers by targeting their ideal audiences on Facebook. This is done through effective marketing strategies that are easy to implement and which grow fan bases and increase reach while having current and future customers speak favorably about one’s business.

Using a combination of Facebook marketing and Facebook advertising we help to create a buzz around each client’s establishment with the goal of creating earned media. Clients’ Facebook pages are optimized for Facebook SEO and Google SEO.

In today’s non-stop world consisting of over 1,700 ad messages per day, no one wants to be the same. You must stand out from the crowd. FacefwdSocial focuses on making each client’s Facebook page unique, differentiating their online presence from their competitors. We create custom designed Facebook pages, assist with their online branding, and consult businesses on how to exploit their social media presence. FacefwdSocial offers full scale social media management.

“We create a sales process that hits on consumers’ psychological triggers to keep people engaged with your business, “explains Ryan, “Interrupt their patterns, engage them, educate them, then and only then give them an amazing offer that they can’t afford to not take.”
