About SunnySide Social Media

Sani Field began her career in social media marketing in 2009 and founded SunnySide Social Media in 2011. Her work in this industry began as the Social Media Director for a Boulder-based artist. This experience allowed her the opportunity to recognize that the connections built through digital media are her driving force, and she thrives on the satisfaction of helping a business build a bond with its target audience.

After achieving great success through her work in social media and garnering recognition from Good Morning America on her client’s blog as a ghost writer, Sani felt more motivated than ever to create a firm that would meet every marketing need of its business clients, regardless of size or niche. To that end, she founded SunnySide Social Media, a very personal boutique firm that consults, develops, and executes online marketing and social media strategies for locally and nationally-based businesses.

SunnySide prides itself in working seamlessly with its clients’ teams to become a valuable asset and champion for their growing brand. Sani’s firm blends traditional and social marketing, offering the following services: reputation/reviews management, blog direction and management, and overall social media strategy and execution; each of their clients is provided with a tailored plan that meets their unique and evolving needs.

SunnySide’s mission is two-fold: to ensure that its clients feel as though the strategists are not merely third parties, but part of their growing team; and, to leverage each client’s brand, by providing unique and tailored strategies that build the company’s online presence. Our ultimate goal for each client is to make their target market feel as though they know them, trust them, and like them, all of which translate into brand growth.
