About Us

Does this sound familiar?

You know you should be “doing social media,” but the fact is, you have no idea of what to post, where, or when. You may like creating content or sharing photos from a cool event…. but what do you do the rest of the time?

Or better yet, you want to run some ads but don’t know the latest wrinkle in Facebook’s algorithm, you don’t want to know, and you really just want it to get done for you magically.

You might even despise social media.

That’s ok. You don’t have to be the one to do it. Help is available.

Hey there!  I’m Michelle LaRue, and I love working with business owners to free up their time so that they can focus on their genius work.

My professional career launched from South Dakota State University (Let’s Go Jackrabbits!) a few decades ago, where I was trained as an engineer.  I spent 25 years developing and implementing environmental compliance solutions for industrial manufacturers and loved not knowing what new problems the next project would bring. So, what does engineering have to do with Social Media Marketing? In my case – a lot.

My experience taught me how to size up problems at a business site quickly, identify potential solutions, and map out a path to the desired result.  I have found that this process works for marketing strategies as well as it does for compliance strategies.

Are you a small business or solopreneur who doesn’t have an internal marketing department? I’d love to talk to you about what SonjaBlue Productions can bring to your company and how I can help with your online marketing presence, including Facebook Ads, community management, and other social media marketing support. My passion for helping small businesses can help you achieve significant results with compelling online stories.

And don’t worry – I’m not all business. When I’m not helping companies achieve their online goals, I have a passion for talking about wine, dreaming about travel, and spending time with my daughter, the “Sonja” in “SonjaBlue.” (Fun fact: when my daughter was around 3, her favorite color was “blue dark.” Not “blue,” not “dark blue,” but “blue dark.” I used to call her “SonjaBlue LaRue” until she piped up “I am NOT Blue LaRue.  I am SONJA!”)

I’d love to provide a FREE 20-minute consultation to see how we can work together. Click below or feel free to email me at michelle@sonjablueproductions.com to set up a call.

I look forward to getting to know you and helping your company design its social media marketing campaign!
