it all started with a love for storytelling

boy mom | golden retriever obsessed | creative at heart

What started as sharing my own story on social media to help people feel less alone in their motherhood journey, grew into a community of over 50k.

Through this experience of building my own community I learnt something powerful. When you share honestly, authentically & vulnerably, people connect & see themselves in your story. They feel less alone & they remember you.

This sets you apart immediately because people already feel like they know you. Today, more than ever before, people want to support people that they know, love & trust.

At Makaila Maria Media, I don’t just make content, I put feeling back into feeds. I turn content creation into a human experience, helping you share your message and grow your community authentically.

From lifestyle brands building authentic communities to coffee shops serving more than just a cup of joe, from yoga studios helping others heal their body and soul, to urgent community stories about homelessness and domestic violence - I tell stories that matter & create content that converts.

stories that matter & content that builds community

through authentic storytelling & connection driven media

  • Whether it’s a special event, the birth of your child, wedding, sports team, real estate showcase, community awareness project, Airbnb or retreat promotion, wellness space feature, community crisis spotlight (homelessness, domestic violence), local event, or restaurant story. This service is designed to capture a single, powerful story in a cinematic, documentary style format. Includes a long form film, and repurposed short clips for social media. These are one off, high impact projects to last a lifetime.
