About Growth
Who is Growth Social?
Hi, I’m Gigi.
I started Growth Social because something kept bothering me.
Independent businesses with incredible products, real personality, and owners who pour everything into their business were losing customers to chains with bigger marketing budgets.
That never sat right with me. So I built something to fix it.
Background.
I graduated from Ohio University with a degree in Journalism and Strategic Communications, a minor in Marketing, and a Social Media certificate.
That education taught me how to build strategy, tell stories and create content that actually works.
But the perspective that shapes how I work comes from growing up around small businesses, working in them, and genuinely caring about the independent brands that make every community special.
Why Small Businesses?
Small businesses are the heart of every community.
They are where birthdays are celebrated, first dates happen, and regulars feel like family. They deserve an online presence that reflects how good they actually are.
Chains have entire marketing departments working to win those customers. Growth Social exists to help independent businesses compete.
The Mission
Growth Social helps independent brands build the online presence they deserve.
Every brand I work with gets a real partner. Someone who treats your business like it matters.
Because it does.
