GET ATTENTION.
THEN MAKE SURE YOUR BUSINESS CAN DO SOMETHING WITH IT.

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. For select businesses, TAS can also step in at the leadership level through Fractional CMO or Operations Leadership support. 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?

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

EXPLORE MARKETING + CONTENT →

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.

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

WAYS TO WORK WITH TAS

WE CAN BE YOUR TEAM. OR THE EXTRA SUPPORT BEHIND THE TEAM YOU ALREADY HAVE.

Whether you need support for one project, a focused campaign, or ongoing business priorities, TAS can step in where the help is needed. We can work alongside your existing team or provide broader support, helping take work off your plate and create more opportunities for your business.

ONE-TIME PROJECTS

A specific creative or business need with a defined scope, clear deliverables, and a finish line.

CAMPAIGNS + ACTIVATIONS

Focused marketing initiatives, creator activations, launches, and experiences built around a specific business objective.

ONGOING PARTNERSHIPS

Continuing marketing, creative, or business operations support that evolves alongside your priorities.

FRACTIONAL LEADERSHIP

YOU BUILT THE TEAM. WHO’S LEADING THE WORK?

You may already have employees, managers, marketers, contractors or vendors. But having people in place does not automatically mean someone is setting the priorities, coordinating the work and holding the function accountable.

For select engagements, TAS can step in at the leadership level while working with the people and resources already inside the business.

FRACTIONAL CMO

MARKETING LEADERSHIP

Senior marketing direction led by Ashlee within a defined scope. TAS can help establish priorities, direct campaigns and content, coordinate approved staff and vendors, strengthen accountability and review performance.

This does not mean Ashlee personally executes every deliverable. Production and implementation resources are scoped separately when needed.

FRACTIONAL OPERATIONS LEADERSHIP

OPERATIONS LEADERSHIP

Senior operations direction led by Erica within a defined scope. TAS can help establish operational priorities, clarify ownership, coordinate agreed work, strengthen management accountability and review progress.

This does not transfer employer, financial or legal control to TAS. Exact authority and implementation responsibilities are defined in the engagement.

You do not always need more people. Sometimes you need clearer leadership around the people and resources you already have.

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.

PROCESS

HOW TAS WORKS

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.

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.

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.

THEN WE PUT IT IN WRITING

Once the direction is clear, the scope, deliverables, timeline and investment are documented before work begins.

FIT

WE’LL TELL YOU IF TAS CAN ACTUALLY HELP.

A GOOD FIT

TAS may be a strong fit if:

• You know something in the business or marketing needs to improve, even if you are not sure which service solves it.

• You want strategy and execution, not just random content.

• You are open to honest recommendations, including hearing that the problem may not be marketing.

• You want clearer systems, stronger visibility, better customer experience or a combination of those.

• You value collaboration and are willing to implement what is agreed.

TAS may be a strong fit if:

• You are open to honest recommendations, including hearing that the problem may not be marketing.

• You want clearer systems, stronger visibility, better customer experience or a combination of those.

• You value collaboration and are willing to implement what is agreed.

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.

WHAT IF I ALREADY HAVE A MARKETING PERSON, MANAGER OR TEAM?

That does not automatically mean TAS is unnecessary. We can work alongside existing employees, agencies, contractors and vendors. For select businesses, TAS can also provide senior marketing or operations leadership so priorities, ownership, coordination and follow-through do not keep falling back on the owner.
