Sher Perras
Why we do this

I went into marketing because I love creativity. Along the way I learned how much of what we decide is driven by emotion. A color, an image or an idea can take a customer on a journey they don’t even realize they’re on. That’s still the part of this work I love most.

That same love of creativity is what drew me to AI. It’s a wonderful new tool. It helps us create exceptional images and marketing pieces, and it lets us keep costs down for our clients. It’s still a tool. A person on our team reviews everything it makes, and nothing goes out in your name until you’ve approved it.

I chose everyone on our management team for their professionalism, their intellect and their kindness. They’re good people. We all want this company to succeed, and the way we want to get there is by putting ourselves in our clients’ shoes and doing the right thing.

Our guide

Isla shares the AI and marketing news business owners actually need, in videos and posts across all three divisions. She doesn’t approve anything. People do.

Our mission
Help businesses be found by people and by the AI they ask, without handing their name to a machine.
Why we work this way

AI is how customers find you now. It’s also why they’re wary.

45%

of US consumers used ChatGPT or other AI tools to find local businesses, up from 6% a year earlier.

53%

say they’re less likely to buy from a brand they know uses AI in its social media content.

So we use AI where it saves time, and a person approves every piece before it reaches your customers. You get the speed without giving up control of your name.

The rules we work by

Written down, so you can hold us to them.

Most agencies keep their terms for the contract. We put ours here.

A person approves everythingNothing publishes, launches or sends in your name until someone on our team, and then you, has approved it.
Terms in writing firstWhat we’ll do, who does it, what it costs and when it’s done, in plain language before work starts.
Ad spend at costIf we place ads for you, you pay what the platform charges. No hidden markup.
You own everythingYour brand files, content, accounts and data stay yours, during and after.
A straight answer on fitIf we’re not the right team for the job, we’ll tell you on the first call.
Proof, not adjectives

We run our own company on what we build.

Before we build something for you, we build it for ourselves.

Island Pond Social

Our social media management platform. It drafts posts with AI, waits for a person to approve each one, publishes on schedule and reports what worked.
