MEET THE OH SNAP! SOCIAL SQUAD

Karlyn Ankrom is the founder and lead strategist and 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.” Karlyn developed her user-friendly strategy after working for a decade with a variety of brick and mortar businesses who were decidedly social allergic, as she calls it, 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 “unsucking their social media” in just one hour per week.

What inspires you daily: The Oh Snap! Social squad inspires me as they’re constantly curious about how to continue to propel our clients’ forward in the ever-changing social media landscape. Our clients also inspire me in the message they’re putting out to the masses and the work they’re doing to make an impact on their audience. We’re lucky to be part of their orbit!

Favorite thing outside of work: I absolutely love to dance and still teach it to this day at a local studio! You will see me dancing on TikTok and Instagram reels — often. I also have used my dance skills to create viral flashmob choreography in my previous work life.

Amy is a virtual assistant for Oh Snap! with a background in business management, customer experience, and social media. As a team member of Oh Snap! Social, and a previous agency owner herself, Amy loves that she gets to support Karlyn by taking small tasks off her list and helping her focus on the big stuff!

First app you open in the morning: Wordle. Yes, I’m still addicted 🙂

Her previous experience working with large groups of people for events (charity galas, conventions, corporate functions) helps her identify and connect with a diverse audience. She also has a background working with large and small companies on various Instagram marketing campaigns, content creation, and photography.

What inspires you daily: Art and creativity. I love working with this team and seeing all the different ways everyone expresses themselves through their work, and getting to collaborate with them to come up with new ideas together.

Favorite thing outside of work: Creating in many different forms! I also love going to thrift stores for the thrill of the hunt. I’m always on the lookout for unique items that I can add to my collections or turn into art. I also love to read and spend time with my family.

Kieron is the resident tech guru at Oh Snap! Social: he takes care of all things website related, email, integration, funnels, domains… we could go on for ever and ever but it’s basically everything online that happens behind-the-browser-tab. Kieron’s been dabbling in the techy stuff since he tried to fix some broken website code for a friend back in 2009 and found it strangely easy. It’s weird… he actually enjoys this stuff!  Kieron is a British born Australian New Zealander who sometimes forgets which country he’s in when he wakes up.. buuut he gets things done and gets them to work.. so we figure that’s cool.

First app you open in the morning: Mac Mail… mainly to clean out all the marketing emails (I sign up to waaay too many things).

What inspires you daily: The challenge to learn a new skill. Tech is always changing, so there’s always something to add to the knowledge base.

Favorite thing outside of work: My other love is broadcast radio. It was my first career which began a few years before graduating high school and it continues to be a source of enjoyment and fun for me. It’s not really work (it’s more a hobby these days) it’s music, communicating, and teaching others how to do the same.
