Who We Are

Media A La Carte is a boutique social media agency specializing in organic social, content production, and paid social for clients in the luxury beauty, wellness, jewelry, and alcohol spaces. We’re a woman founded team with a desire to hire a good fit for our team because our philosophy is: life’s too short to work with people you don’t like. We take our work for our clients super seriously but also watch Gilmore Girls in the studio on Wellness Wednesdays once a month. You get the vibe. Our nails are flawless, we love to chat about the latest killer campaign (hem hem, Ella Bright for Rare Beauty blush?!?!?! Iconic.) and we can execute what gets our clients results without breaking a sweat. We’re at the helm of the new era in digital marketing, bringing it all in house, and doing it with style.

Why Us

Why not us? Just kidding. Listen, we work hard. We won’t lie to you. This is not a ‘take a shower and do your 10 step skincare routine’ while on the clock type of job. BUT if you loved our intro above, then you’ll love working with our team. Imagine never complaining about the people you work with again? That’s our goal. As a startup going on it’s 5th year with big dreams for scaling, you’ll have the opportunity to get your hands dirty in areas you’d never touch at a bigger agency. We’re competitive with benefits, offer a hybrid work schedule, and have regular company happy hours. Other things you’ll love include Summer Fridays, closed between Christmas and New Years, a remote week over 4th of July, and new business bonuses. You’ll work hard but it’ll be a rewarding job you actually like. We’ll make sure of it.
