SOCIAL MEDIA AGENCY FOR SMALL BUSINESSES
Because We Want Your Followers to Give a Damn
Your social media presence can’t just be pretty. It needs to be strategic, intentional, and authentic.
In today’s market, clients aren’t hiring you just based on your portfolio (though that’s important!). They want someone they can trust, who shares their values, and who can create genuine experiences.
Newsflash: No one is judging you based on your follower count. They’re judging you on the relevance and quality of your content, and on how authentically you show up online. Oh, and if anyone is judging you on your follower count? Fuck it, let them. They’re not your people.
Your people will be inspired by your genuine approach to life and business. They’ll be celebrating from the sidelines, counting down the days when they get to work with you.
Let’s work with more of those people, yeah?
Clients aren’t confused about what you do.
They’re just not convinced that YOU’RE the right one to do it.
Meet the Founder
Ariel De La Mora
CEO
When Noah Kahan sang “You’re Gonna Go Far,” I took it as a personal mission. Now, my Arizona-raised ass is sitting pretty in Lisbon, Portugal. Two years later, and it still doesn’t feel real.
I believe in chasing BIG dreams (like living in Europe with the love of my life). I believe in creating change and living boldly. And I believe in using my voice and skills to build something that matters.
So I created The Confident Collab, a social media agency for small businesses. My goal is to help female founders who care deeply about their business and are ready to show up intentionally online. The Confident Collab exists because I want every person I work with to walk away actually feeling confident—in their content, their voice, their ideas, and in themselves.
Fast facts:
Think you can take me in Mario Kart? Bring it on.
I love concerts, coffee, and cocktails. Give me all three in one day, and I will be the happiest.
I married my middle school best friend. We moved from Arizona to Spain, and now to Lisbon, Portugal. Are we insane? Yeah, probably. Would we have it any other way? Hard no.
“ARIEL HAS AN IMPRESSIVE KNACK FOR UNDERSTANDING OUR TARGET AUDIENCE AND CONSISTENTLY DELIVERED ENGAGING AND RELEVANT CONTENT that resonated with our existing followers while attracting new ones. She's creative and has come up with so many fresh and innovative ideas. I can't recommend Ariel enough if you're looking for a dedicated social media manager who will take your online presence to the next level.”
— Brooke M.
“ARIEL IS AMAZING! SHE IS EASY TO WORK WITH, QUICK TO RESPOND, AND ALWAYS OFFERS A HELPING HAND. Her work is always next-level superior. She puts time into understanding your brand and what your offerings are. She keeps up with the latest trends and implements strategies that get your brand the recognition it deserves. I would recommend anyone work with Ariel to help increase their business and learn more about navigating social media.”
— Taylor N.
The Confident
Collab Family
Tucker Hague
The Middle School Best Friend & COO
Husband, Dog Dad, Technology Obsessed Tinkerer, and Professional Problem Solver. Tucker keeps The Confident Collab running behind the scenes by managing invoices, outreach, and automations. Outside of work, he calls himself the “house husband” and takes care of cooking, cleaning, and entertaining our two very needy dogs.
Fast Facts:
Give him a Super Bock Beer to make him smile
He’s definitely not into reality TV… he just loves watching over Ariel’s shoulder.
He wins husband of the year every year by being willing to move his entire life to Portugal at the drop of a hat.
Luna
Head of Barketing
Luna is an eight-year-old Australian cattle dog. She loves her parents, playing fetch, and long walks on the beach. (And by walks, we mean the most chaotic zoomies you’ve ever seen.) She assists The Confident Collab team by begging for attention at all hours of the day and night. And by being so stinking cute, we can’t even be mad about it.
Peach
Barketing Assistant
Peach is the newest member of The Confident Collab team. She’s a three-year-old Portuguese Podengo that was found on the streets here in Lisbon, covered in fleas and ticks. Now, she is happily adopted and loves to play like a cat, snuggle under blankets, and be held like a baby. She makes frequent guest appearances on consult and strategy calls.
We’re Not Quiet About What We Believe In (& You Shouldn’t Be Either)
Inclusivity, Kindness, & Compassion
This business is built on inclusivity, respect, and human rights, because who we work with matters just as much as the work we do. The way we show up in our work is a reflection of the world we want to live in, and we want to live in a world where kindness isn’t conditional, where inclusivity isn’t an afterthought, where EVERY person feels seen, valued, and safe.
Honesty, Transparency, & Authenticity
Collaboration is at the heart of our business, which requires both of us to be honest and transparent with one another. You will never need to guess what’s going on behind the scenes or worry about hidden charges. In that same spirit, we will be upfront with you about your strategy. We’ll tell you what things are working, and what needs to change. And we want you to show up authentically, because you are the secret sauce your social media strategy needs!
Curiosity, Empathy, & Adventure
We approach life and business with an open mind. We believe that learning and listening are the best ways to grow, and new things are always an adventure. So whether we’re moving to a foreign country (hi, Portugal!) or onboarding a new client, we dive deep, ask questions, and listen fully to understand everything we can.
