TSMA Consulting

What TSMA Consulting does

TSMA Consulting, Inc. is a Los Angeles-based, privately held social media management and growth firm founded in 2015, operating across two customer lines: individual talent clients (actors, musicians, writers, public figures) and business clients ranging from small businesses to Fortune 500 enterprises. The company is structured around two principal service pillars: full-service Instagram account management (content creation, profile optimization, posting cadence, and account growth) and the TSMA Growth Program, a follower-acquisition offering that partners with top-tier Instagram accounts for giveaways. Its core technical differentiator is a proprietary methodology for organic Instagram growth that explicitly avoids bots, automation, or paid follower schemes, combined with an in-house content production capability branded as TSMA Studio in Los Angeles. The service is delivered through a tiered subscription model — individual tiers (Starter, Signature, Legacy) and business tiers (Small Business, Corporate, Enterprise) — with the publicly listed flagship priced at $6,950/month for individuals and $2,500/month for businesses, plus custom-quoted Enterprise engagements; the Legacy tier bundles ancillary music-production services via Creation House Records.

The company's go-to-market is hybrid: direct-to-consumer via website signup for individual clients, and a consultative enterprise sales motion with 48-hour team review and dedicated Account Managers for business clients. Distribution is anchored by an unusually deep institutional footprint in the entertainment industry — decade-long educational relationships with SAG-AFTRA, the Casting Society of America, the TV Academy, NAB, and the American Academy of Dramatic Arts — plus flagship event partnerships with Apple (Final Cut Pro Global Summit), Adobe (Video World), Dell, and Nvidia. Founder/CEO Ryan Walker maintains a public thought-leadership presence at these venues. The firm is bootstrapped (no funding rounds disclosed), employs approximately 13 people across Thousand Oaks (HQ), Los Angeles, and New York, and reports a 200,000+ Instagram community following used as a marketing and cross-promotion asset.

Documented enterprise customers include Saramonic USA, Other World Computing (OWC), and Apogee, with case-study outcomes including 122% sales growth, 20x audience growth, 346% engagement lift, and Platinum Communicator Award recognition. The business model is overwhelmingly recurring monthly subscription revenue, with the inherent limitations of a service-agency structure — headcount-bound delivery, dependency on a small leadership team, and exposure to platform algorithm changes (Instagram being the primary platform served).
