Karlyn Ankrom is the founder and lead strategist of Oh Snap! Social and creator of the Fan Firestarter Framework, a new approach to social media marketing made specifically for businesses “tempted to fake their own death and flee to Tahiti at the mere thought of content creation.”

Backed by a journalism degree, Karlyn has always been creative and loved writing. As the world transitioned from Web2 to Web3, she has seen the evolution of social media taking the place of traditional PR, with businesses utilizing it to get information to potential clients and the press without the traditional press release.

Karlyn developed her user-friendly strategy after working for a decade with a variety of brick-and-mortar businesses that were decidedly social media allergic, not because they didn’t want to do social media, but because they were intimidated by it. In response, her new system helps newbies get on the fast track to “unsticking their social media” in just one hour per week.

Karlyn has written for the Social Media Examiner, been highlighted in Business Insider, and appeared on ABC 7 news.
