TSMA's industry panels are such a terrific resource, especially during the pandemic when it is easy to feel at a loss as an actor and creative. I just attended a panel moderated by Ben Whitehair (so nice!) and put on in association with Jeremy Gordon (encouraging and always such great advice!) Their guests were casting directors Gary Zuckerbrod and Richard Hicks. Gary and Richard spoke candidly, gave great advice (for our careers and for navigating the insanity of this pandemic), and left us with some thoughtful & inspiring words. Panels like these gives us the encouragement and the know-how to keep pushing forward and keep being creative. I will be back. Thank you! read more

TSMA has been helpful in adding needed clout for my business. They are reliable and experienced in the growth sector.

OKAY! I really wanted to write this HONEST review for the people out there who were like me and are on the fence about whether the growth service is right for them. So I've attended several webinars/industry panels that TSMA has hosted and like everyone has said in these reviews they're absolutely five stars! SO helpful, especially during the pandemic when people wanted to learn from industry experts at a low cost (absolutely free!!) I think I read every single review regarding the growth service (I couldn't really find that many? Or at least that many that were helpful) before deciding to commit to the lowest tier and I was STILL on the fence but decided to go for it. This growth program is EXACTLY what is advertised. There are no tricks, there are no secrets, they explicitly lay out how things will work and provide you with tools to succeed! After my first giveaway, the followers I gained FAR exceeded the guaranteed number for my tier, which was exciting! However, like some reviews mentioned, all my new followers came from Spanish-speaking countries outside of the United States. This wasn't so much of a problem for me because I speak some Spanish so I was able to take time to try to engage with as many people as possible (and these are the ones that still engage with my content and stuck around after the giveaway!) but for the majority of this new audience, there was that sort of barrier. I agree that as an artist you will have a following from different places but ALSO as an artist we have a lot to spend money on (headshots, classes, equipment, etc.) so you have to think about what's best for you right now! At the end of the day, my attrition rate was higher than what I was expecting (around 50%) and I just can't afford to pay the higher tier to participate in giveaways that target the US audience OR continue to pay this lower price for a smaller audience gain and low engagement. Think about what your needs are!! This is a great and reputable service that I would recommend to people who are PURELY focused on growing their audience. read more

If I was able to give this service 0 stars, I would. Their service to grow social media accounts is a scam! They guarantee followers which are not all real followers. This is a waste of money and would recommend to stay away. When asking support to show me the post that had the marketing push, they couldn't show me the exact post and just said here is one of the people that did the promotion but nowhere had my name on it. Their response is that in the agreement you can get international followers. It doesn't say that all they do is promote outside of the US and not even the same language as you speak. Also, they guarantee 850 followers. Only way to guarantee followers is having bot accounts. Please stay away from this company. read more

TMSA is awesome! I've been going to Ryan Walker and Ben Whitehair's social media classes for nearly two years and find them clear, useful and super up to date. They can help you wether you're just starting out or if you're an accomplished influencer looking to expand your reach even more. Ben and Ryan are gems! Their values are tops and they truly bring in higher consciousness to online marketing and social media. I can't recommend TMSA more :)) read more

Love these guys! TSMA's industry panels are a terrific resource, always well organized with smart and authentic industry experts. I just attended a panel moderated by Ben Whitehair (great guy) with CDs Jeremy Gordon and April Webster and the president of SAG/AFTRA, Gabrielle Carteris. TSMA chooses industry panelists who are passionate and actually care. Thank you : ) read more

I am super happy to have found Ryan and the TSMA group. When I met them I had no idea what I was doing. I was so far behind in the social media game because for a long time, I had 0 social media profiles. The last thing I had was FB and I had deactivated it long before Instagram became popular. Yes, I was one of those people who didn't know what a hashtag was. I tried growing it on my own but since I didn't know anything, of course it didn't grow very much very fast at all. I was doing soooooo much work for so little payoff. After I found TSMA and started implementing their strategies and tips, I grew at a significant rate. It was so nice. I started to feel like the returns matched the amount of work I was putting in, and that was amazing. I didn't feel like I was wasting my time anymore. They were all very real, very engaged followers. I haven't checked since Instagram implemented their new algorithm, but last time I looked I had about a 15% engagement rate, which for my numbers is extremely high. I get as many comments and likes as profiles that have around 5 times my number of followers. I'm sure Ryan can give you some better stories and examples of how a larger following can benefit you. Here are some ways I have personally benefited from having a larger following than average: -Other actors and independent filmmakers reach out to work with me -I was invited as a special guest to an event that had industry executives in attendance and got VIP treatment -Got more than 100 subscribers within the first 24 hours of making a YouTube. When Instagram implemented their new algorithm stuff and stopped showing my content to anyone new, I automatically turned to Ryan for help because I knew they'd be on top of the game. I was right and of course they were, and now my numbers are climbing back up. Ryan and TSMA definitely know their stuff. Anytime in the future Instagram changes stuff I know who I'm going to turn to. read more

TSMA offers so many amazing free resources to actors and they genuinely care about giving back to the community. The free webinar I attended provided so much valuable information about the realities of being an actor in 2021 as well as insight on the industry from the casting directors' point of view. I honestly couldn't believe all that info was free - every actor should be following them and taking advantage of what they have to offer. read more

Do not. Fall For This. Scam Service. They promise you genuine and real followers by executing a contest tactic whereby a celebrity/endorser advises their users to follow you so that they can enter the contest for a prize. Then they make you wait as a marketing ploy to exhilate you and finally drop the ball of 1000 fake followers worth 99cents to your profile.  Oh, and for $149; you're also gas-lighted because your content isn't engaging enough and your feed isn't decent enough. Don't use their SERVICES. If anyone wants more details, message me and I'll send you all the screenshot emails between one of the representatives or owners and I that's filled with ambiguous madness. And if you see any good reviews from verified and more reliable accounts (D-Class Actors, D-Class Models) they are all paid endorsements or friends of theirs from the valley. I never bother to reviewing, no matter how bad the service--but this one really ticked me off--the gas lighting was the last straw for me. Shame on you! read more

This is the most brilliant way I've experienced or heard of regarding getting real followers who actually appreciate your content. I got the amount of followers that were guaranteed and had an impressive retention. To boot, the new followers engaged and didn't cause the algorithm to effect typical engagement. TSMA is entirely worth the money. read more

TSMA is amazing! They are always incredibly kind and helpful, not to mention very responsive. Highly recommend!!

Great service for growing your IG and tiktok!! Highly recommend 10/10. Highly recommend to anyone looking to build a following. They answer all my questions and always send me monthly tips and tricks to help get better engagement read more

They are amazing! They have helped me grow my audience organically and even provided me with some good tips when it comes to content posting. It really works and it's really great! 10000/10 recommend read more

Our charity has been working with TSMA for over a year now, supporting the ongoing, steady, targeted growth for one of our program social media accounts. We've enjoyed the clear communication, on time delivery, and relevant engagement from a growing audience! read more

I had such a great experience with TSMA for a zoom panel about casting and representation. Not only were the panelists very experienced, but I felt like they were honest and open to giving valuable information away! I took so many great notes & I'm looking forward to more of their events in the future. read more

Amazing class! I honestly didn't even think I wanted to build my Instagram following, but Ryan and Ben made it seem so natural and fun, I'm actually into it now. They go through every bit of it from your handle, to your photo, to your frequency of posting. Do this class if you can! read more

A highly skilled team with social media super powers! Ryan Walker and his expert group really know their stuff. They are incredibly quick to grow your following. With careful and strategic planning, TSMA consulting gets your game going and stays on top of things. Terrific customer service and top notch results! read more

This is an incredible consulting company that helps you make your presence more known on social media and specifically caters to the film and television world. Referred to as a social media management and growth company. I watched my first Industry panel with them having received an email from Screen Actors Guild and decided this was some thing I should definitely watch. They had a couple of very seasoned casting directors and both of them gave excellent suggestions and inspiring and thoughtful keys to better you're career during these times. read more

As a previous consulting client of the company. I attended a SAG-AFTRA seminar that was held by Ryan (CEO/Founder) and my mind was blown by the enormous amount of information. I was highly interested in their services & I paid for the consult. Ryan & TSMA showed me how to be an actor/influencer and to use IG as a marketing tool for my career. Best time & money investment that I have ever made! Now to this day as a working actor and model I'm loving my page and I've even done product & paid collaborations. Thank you guys! read more

Take a free Zoom class if it's ever offered and find out for yourself why they're so successful. Extremely knowledgeable, very positive but also honest about what you need to create a strong Social Media presence no matter your field of work. They've got the connections and experience in what they do which everyone needs. Strongly recommend you immediately follow them on all Social Media platforms. DavidaRochelle read more

TSMA stands out from the crowd in providing actors with educational FREE seminars on zoom to help them with their careers. I was a participant in the one last night and it was so helpful to hear from two casting directors with the help of Ben and Ryan. A company that goes out of it's way to give back to the community stands out and above all the others. Don't even think twice before going to another company for marketing. I nominate them for an Academy Award and a Hollywood sidewalk star. read more

Be very careful if considering signing a contract with this company. Ryan misguided me into a $3785 contract, acknowledged his error, promised me a refund, and then took back his word. He's very deceptive and manipulative; don't be fooled by the seemingly caring personality. Their priority is money and their own acting careers, not you. I lost $2135. Please don't sign large contracts with these people. The "owner's response" to my Google review was another lie, which claimed that I had been refunded and they looked forward to our next shoot, which was not the case. I never received anything, and tried to contact them about scheduling a shoot to which they still haven't responded. Like I said, be careful. read more

So helpful, uplifting, and honest! I first heard about TSMA through my manager (who already highly recommended them), and I've watched two online panels. Both left me with a better sense of direction and understanding of what I can do to take my career into my own hands. Jeremy, Ryan, Ben, along with their guest panelists are always putting their community first, and for that I am grateful. read more

I am always super impressed with the wealth and generosity of knowledge they share in their seminars. I appreciate their guest speakers' point of view in their respective areas and how they interweave the information with solid, current-day methods to organically grow your audience!! I am looking forward to working with them and really giving this a good push finally. I feel like their examples and experience are just the right next step for me!! Thanks SO MUCH Ryan and Ben for the AWESOME and UNIQUE seminar topic and for bringing in Morgan to share her expertise as well!! Keep well and healthy!! read more

Finished an eye opening session with TSMA and Coast to Coast Talent group. Had a great talk discussing ways to partner with brands to monetize your online presence (i.e. Instagram). As a dancer here in LA, it's been great to learn all the different avenues on how to grow your account to eventually partner with brands and make money. Ben and Ryan are so knowledgeable in this industry and are fellow artists in the same boat as us. They really understand what works and are so helpful in sharing this knowledge. Definitely tune into their next free session. You won't regret it. read more

Very knowledgeable and professional. Really enjoy the industry zooms and the knowledge they bring and share. So much positivity! Look forward to working more together and the next industry zoom. read more

TSMA provided a wonderful and Educational Zoom Panel of Grade A Casting Directors. Gary Zuckerbrod, Richard Hicks and Jeremy Gordon. I was inspired by their thoughtful and honest answers re the state of auditioning today. New tips and insights abound! Great Hosting also!! read more

I have attended 2 TSMA Virtual Seminars. One with Ryan Walker & the other with Ben Whitehair. Both Seminars were filled with knowledgable industry panelists. The seminars were insightful, informative and gave concrete actions / steps to achieve my goals. TSMA Consulting can help you navigate through this complex social media world, whether you're a beginner or established and need help reaching that NEXT LEVEL! read more

** Do not under any circumstances use this service.** it is not worth the money or the deceit you will get from the team. They promise clients a well balanced broad spectrum international exposure. The entirety of their base is located within central and south america. If you are looking to build your Spanish speaking following only, this service is for you. if you actually want to build a diversified following for you or your clients, run run away as fast as you can. the team will promise you vague information and blatantly mislead you if you ask questions. Not worth the hassle. There are much better services out there. Don't waste your money on this sham. read more

Saw a panel on 2/4/2021 with 3 great CD's. Jeremy Gordon, Gary Zuckerbrod, & Richard Hicks. They all gave such great insight for an actor like myself. It was very inspiring and I will definitely be tuning in to future TSMA panels! Also a big thank you to Ben Whitehair for moderating it in such a smooth and comprehensive manner. Cannot wait to see what further panels are coming! read more

Tonight was really amazing and informative. Not only was it about "showbiz" but what hit me in my heart was the sincerity of all the 3 guest. Casting Directors: Gary Zuckerbrod, Richard Hicks, and Jeremy Gordon. With the charming host: Ben Whithair of TMSA (The Social Media Agency) And I'm hoping that many will donate to The Actors Fund @theactorsfund.org An organization that helps those in need in our industry in many different areas and also what they are doing in the future for low income housing. I'm totally grateful for tonight. Thank You....maray ayres read more

I have been a client of TSMA for several years, and they are so good about educating actors about social media and helping everyone understand how to do it. Their casting zoom events are exceptional and so helpful to newbies and "oldies" like me! read more

I attended an online webinar and it was outstanding! WOW! Ryan Walker, Ben Whitehair and the rest of the staff are so incredibly knowledgeable about the social media world! I learned so much! Thank you to a great team! read more

I attended a workshop they did on Instagram marketing and learned so much! There are so many apps that claim to trick the algorithm and cheat to get you followers, but Ryan and Ben know how to build your audience the right way, no cheating, no buying followers, just optimizing your profile and using the app wisely. Learned a lot and can't wait to apply these lessons to grow my following! read more

Really down to earth, straight shooting guys sharing information as a passion and from a desire to give. I'm for sure going to check out their website and schedule a meeting. These guys are bad ass. Can't wait to see what wizardry we come up with. read more

If this service were 50 dollars, I may have given it 3 stars but for 129* (lowest tier), it is a waste of money. 1. The likelihood of you being matched to a US promotion is very low with this tier and the US only tier is over 500 dollars. 2. The followers BARELY ENGAGE. Aside from the language barrier, they are practically ghost followers because they are not there for your content. BTW, I did a lot of outreach and my content is quality (I average 300 likes a post with more than 10% engagement) but still, they were not connecting. 3. TSMA explains the process on their site but let me make it clear, you receive a ton of followers in one day and after about a week, they start dropping like flies. It is somewhat embarrassing actually. I lost about 300 in a month. 4. I looked at some of the pages TSMA has helped through a more curated plan and their engagement was horrible. Some people at 10,000 plus followers with 100 likes on a picture and barely any comments. These are accounts that TSMA promoted on their IG page. I gave this company 2 stars because they did exactly what they promised. However, if you are trying to grow your page, just look for videos on youtube and be patient. Also, the IG algorithim works against you so it may not be the best platform for growth. read more

I've had bad experiences with other social media service but these guys are GREAT! My audience has experienced so much growth and they are real, genuine people. They are extremely communicative always want to help. read more

Look, is it a perfect follower growth system? No. Is it hands-down the best option available (I've tried them all) - definitely. Their growth program is unique and innovative, no errors or problems, and legitimately grows your account quickly. Also their team are overall really great people. Make sure you know how it works, but I definitely recommend. read more

Ryan and Ben give a fast down and dirty of what Instagram is, what it can do for a business/career, and strong hints on how to get started. They have a handout on hashtags that I'm grateful for...formatting, when and how to use, useful info. Glad I attended! . . . . . #TSMArocks #grateful #LoveToLearn #PickMe read more

Thanks Ben and Ryan for a great seminar with We Make Movies Industry Night. If you're using social media to promote your acting or filmmaking career their information is essential. Even if you're a seasoned tweeter or poster they can advise you how to kick it to the next level. Thanks. read more
