Vito & Dollenmaier Law is a personal injury law firm that leads with heart. Known for their dedication to fighting for clients and showing up when it matters most, they’re serious about getting results, but they’re also approachable, community-minded, and total dog lovers. Their mission? To offer support, guidance, and expertise in a space where people often feel overwhelmed.
The Challenge:
Like many small business owners, the team at Vito & Dollenmaier was focused on doing what they do best: showing up for their clients. Social media? That wasn’t supposed to be their full-time job, and frankly, it shouldn’t have to be. Between managing cases, serving their community, and advocating for their clients, keeping up with consistent posting and brand visibility was falling to the back burner.
The Approach:
Our goal wasn’t to reinvent who they are, it was to reflect it clearly, consistently, and authentically online. We leaned into what makes their brand special: their people-first approach and their love of dogs (which has truly become part of their signature).
By pairing educational, trustworthy content with personal touches like their office pups and a little pop culture humor, we’ve built a brand presence that feels human, not transactional. The strategy focuses on balancing informative posts with light, engaging content that helps their audience feel like they know the people behind the practice.
Resilient Minds On The Front Lines
Resilient Minds On The Front Lines is a nonprofit organization rooted in advocacy, education, and support for first responders and beyond. What began as a mission to equip first responders with critical resiliency tools has since expanded into a broader movement, offering mental wellness education to anyone who can benefit from it (which, let’s be honest, is all of us). Their team lives and breathes the work they teach, bringing heart, experience, and authenticity to every interaction.

the brand:
Resilient Minds On The Front Lines is a nonprofit organization rooted in advocacy, education, and support for first responders and beyond. What began as a mission to equip first responders with critical resiliency tools has since expanded into a broader movement, offering mental wellness education to anyone who can benefit from it (which, let’s be honest, is all of us). Their team lives and breathes the work they teach, bringing heart, experience, and authenticity to every interaction.
The Challenge:
When we first connected, Resilient Minds was doing life-changing work, but not enough people were hearing about it. Like many mission-driven organizations, they were so focused on showing up for others that their own brand visibility had taken a back seat. Their leadership carries powerful stories and passion, but the online presence didn’t yet reflect that energy or reach the audience they deserved.
The Approach:
Our focus has been on humanizing the brand, amplifying the mission, and making sure their voices, and their impact, are seen and heard. Together, we’ve built a social media strategy centered on consistency, authenticity, and showing up across platforms. We leaned into the personal touches: highlighting the real people behind the mission, sharing class updates and behind-the-scenes moments, and embracing both the serious and celebratory sides of the work. Over time, we’ve expanded their presence across multiple platforms and content formats to meet their audience where they are.
Panic Escape Room
Panic Escape Room is not your average escape room. With cinematic-themed rooms and a theatrical twist, their mission is to deliver an experience that feels like stepping straight into the movie. They don’t take themselves too seriously, and that’s exactly what makes their social media presence so memorable.

Panic Escape Room
The Results (So Far):
✨ Over 270,000 total impressions across platforms
✨ 35,000+ video views, with TikTok taking the lead
✨ 8,100+ total engagements across Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok
✨ Engagement rates holding steady at 3% overall—with TikTok leading at 4%
TikTok continues to be the powerhouse here, not because we're chasing viral moments, but because we're showing up consistently with content that feels real, relatable, and true to the brand. By leaning into humor, playful trends, and personality-driven posts, we've been able to keep Panic top of mind and meet their audience where they're already spending time online. The goal isn’t just views, it’s building recognition, connection, and a brand presence that sticks.

They don’t take themselves too seriously, and that’s exactly what makes their social media presence so memorable.
The Challenge:
When we started working together in May 2023, Panic was juggling multiple social media platforms managed by different people across locations, which made consistency a real challenge. They were ready to simplify, streamline, and build a cohesive presence that matched the high-energy vibe of their brand, but needed the right partner to make it happen.
The Approach:
Consolidated their accounts into one unified brand presence to avoid confusion and maximize impact.
Focused on TikTok and Instagram growth, knowing their audience was active and engaged there.
Leaned into humor, pop culture trends, influencer collaborations (hello, Island Boys shoutout!), and behind-the-scenes content that feels authentic to their brand voice.
Balanced funny, educational, and people-centered content to keep the feed fresh and relevant without losing that Panic edge.
Flexible collaboration style, updates and content assets come as the team is able, keeping the process as hands-off for them as they need it to be.
