TAS helps restaurants, hospitality brands, lifestyle businesses and growing companies get attention, turn it into action and make sure the business behind it can support the growth. That can mean marketing, content, creator campaigns, business operations or a mix. We start with the actual problem.

DISCOVERY HAS CHANGED
YOUR CUSTOMER MEETS YOUR BUSINESS BEFORE THEY EVER WALK IN.
They see the content. Search the name. Check Instagram. Read reviews. Look at Google or Maps. Visit the website. Watch a creator. Ask a friend. Increasingly, they may even ask an AI tool where to go or what to buy.
DISCOVERY DOESN'T HAPPEN IN ONE PLACE ANYMORE.
Your business can be good and still lose to the business down the street. Not because they are better. They may simply be easier to find, easier to understand, easier to trust or easier to buy from. TAS helps align the marketing that gets attention with the experience and infrastructure that turn it into action.
WHAT DO YOU ACTUALLY NEED HELP WITH?
01
MARKETING + CONTENT
People can’t buy from a brand they never notice. But attention without a business goal is just noise.
We build the strategy around what actually needs to move - awareness, traffic, bookings, inquiries, launches, repeat business or stronger positioning - then make the content and marketing support that job.
CAN INCLUDE
Marketing strategy
Social media strategy and management
Short-form content
Campaign planning and execution
Launch and promotional strategy
Content direction
Production coordination
02
CREATOR CAMPAIGNS + ACTIVATIONS
Inviting ten creators and hoping something happens is not a creator strategy.
First we decide what the creator job actually is. Awareness? UGC? Local traffic? A launch? Content assets? Then we build the right mix around the objective.
CAN INCLUDE
Creator strategy
Sourcing and selection
UGC and content-asset campaigns
Local awareness campaigns
Brand partnerships
Activations and launch support
Experience Crew casting where appropriate
Booking Ashlee as a creator is separate from hiring TAS to manage a creator campaign.
03
BUSINESS STRATEGY + OPERATIONS
Sometimes marketing is doing its job. The business behind it isn’t.
If attention is coming in but follow-up is weak, growth exposes staffing problems, the customer experience breaks down, or everything still falls back on the owner, more content is not the first fix.
CAN INCLUDE
Hiring and staffing
SOPs and workflow design
Onboarding and training systems
Customer-experience processes
Internal structure
Operational diagnostics
Implementation support within an agreed scope
BUSINESS OPERATIONS AUDIT - $500
90-minute working session + review of agreed materials + written priority action plan delivered within three business days.
Implementation, training, software setup and ongoing support are scoped separately.
WHY TAS
THE CONTENT CAN WORK AND THE BUSINESS CAN STILL BE THE PROBLEM.
A Reel can take off. A creator can send thousands of people your way. A campaign can put your business in front of the right audience. But if the customer lands on a confusing page, can't figure out what to buy, gets poor service, hits a broken process or walks into an operation that cannot support the attention, the marketing did its job. The business lost the opportunity. That is why TAS works on both sides.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Staffing
Systems
Customer experience
Workflows
Implementation
Business infrastructure to support growth
Ashlee and Erica lead TAS from their respective areas of expertise, backed by the right team for each engagement. Clients can work with either side independently or connect both when needed.
CONTENT IN MOTION
WE DON'T JUST PLAN THE CONTENT. WE KNOW HOW TO MAKE PEOPLE STOP.
From restaurant storytelling and social content to service-based businesses, TAS develops the strategy and knows how to bring it to life.

PROCESS
HOW TAS WORKS
01
TELL US WHAT'S ACTUALLY GOING ON
Start with the real problem, goal or opportunity. The client does not need to diagnose which TAS service they need before reaching out.
02
WE FIGURE OUT IF TAS CAN ACTUALLY HELP
We look at what is happening across marketing, content, audience, operations or a combination and determine whether TAS is the right fit.
03
WE RECOMMEND WHAT MAKES SENSE
Not every client needs a retainer. Not every problem needs content. We recommend the scope that actually fits the situation.
04
THEN WE PUT IT IN WRITING
Once the direction is clear, the scope, deliverables, timeline and investment are documented before work begins.
CONTENT + CREATIVE EXECUTION
STRATEGY + OPERATIONS
FIT
WE’LL TELL YOU IF TAS CAN ACTUALLY HELP.
PROBABLY NOT THE RIGHT FIT
TAS is probably not the right fit if:
• You only want guaranteed virality or guaranteed sales.
• You want a large amount of work at the lowest possible price.
• You are looking for someone to simply post without strategy or business context.
• You are not open to making operational or internal changes when those issues are affecting results.
• You want certainty before TAS has had a chance to understand the actual problem.
Not sure where you fall? Tell us what’s actually going on. We’ll tell you honestly if TAS can help.
FAQ
WHAT YOU PROBABLY WANT TO KNOW.
I’m not sure which service I need. Can I still reach out?
Yes. You do not need to diagnose the problem before contacting TAS. Tell us what is actually going on, and we will figure out whether TAS can help and what kind of support makes sense.
Do I have to sign a retainer?
No. Not every client needs a retainer. Depending on the problem, TAS may recommend a project, campaign, audit, activation, ongoing support or another clearly defined scope.
Do you only work with restaurants?
No. Restaurants and hospitality are a major focus, not the limit. TAS also works with lifestyle businesses, growing companies, startups and consumer brands. The common thread is a business that needs stronger visibility, strategy, content, operations or some combination of them.
Can I hire Ashlee Sarai only as a creator or influencer?
Yes. Creator partnerships with Ashlee are separate from TAS agency services and can be booked through the creator inquiry route.
Do you guarantee sales or virality?
No. And anyone guaranteeing sales or virality before they control every variable affecting the outcome is selling you certainty they do not have.
How much does it cost to work with TAS?
Select one-time strategy, audit or project work may start around $500. Focused ongoing content may begin around $1,500 per month. Broader partnerships combining content, social media, strategy, campaigns, creator support or business operations typically begin around $2,000 per month and increase with scope. We recommend the right level of support after understanding what the business actually needs.
