about us
We're Simply Media, and we’re passionate about simplifying social media for local businesses. Founded in 2020 by Cate Sagastegui and Hollie Autrey, we saw a need for a more thoughtful and simple approach to social media management. As educators and creative professionals, we've developed versatile skills that we apply when helping businesses grow through social media.
We believe in building genuine relationships with our clients.
