Chic Social Media Strategy
Merely Chic Social is a social media management company, specializing in helping businesses connect with customers, and grow their brands through social media.
Hello! Iβm Annie the founder of Merely Chic Social.
With over a decade immersed in the dynamic realm of social media, I've transformed my passion into a profession. Proudly based in the northern suburbs of Chicago, I find joy in crafting sophisticated social media strategies for clients when I'm not enjoying quality time with family and friends or exploring new restaurants with my husband.
My journey spans diverse sectors such as fashion, consumer packaged goods, hospitality, interior design, non-profit, and insurance, providing me with a comprehensive understanding of the industry. Leaving my agency career to start Merely Chic Social has been my most rewarding decision.
My mission is to empower businesses, brands, and individuals to elevate their social media presence. I am enthusiastic about the prospect of working together to bring your social media endeavors to new heights!
Client Testimonials
Annie is so wonderful! She took the time to understand my style and personality as a business and developed the perfect social media plan. She made it so easy for me and I saw a return on investment instantly. I highly recommend Annie!
- Jaclyn Duffield, Owner & Event Coordinator, JDetailed Events
I really underestimated running a social media account for my new business and needed someone to help me get my footing, strategize, and organize. Merely Social Chic laid out such a wonderful foundation for me to then take the reins and do it on my own; which is exactly what I was looking for. Annie was so quick, knowledgeable and just an overall pleasure to work with! I feel like a weight has been lifted and I can now trust that my social media is now serving a purpose.
- Shannon Downe, Just Like Family LLC
I have always had a very strong vision for the aesthetic and mood I wanted to convey through our social media channels. It has been one of the biggest challenges for our organization to bring this vision to life until we worked with Annie at Merely Chic Social. She took direction so well and jumped right in to drum up excitement for our events and capture all of the day-of content with ease and grace. She was professional, timely and had such a positive attitude. Annie immediately felt like part of our team and we are so grateful for her can-do attitude and getting our channels more in-line with our overall vision!
