“Whether you're a one-person powerhouse or a growing small business, you need content that sparks connection, and leaves a lasting impression.”

Laurie Barrett, Founder

I’m a writer driven by instinct - drawn to stories, strategy, and helping people and small businesses find their true voice. At The Social Bark, I believe your message deserves more than noise. It deserves a presence that feels real, resonates deeply, and inspires loyalty.

No fluff. Just authentic stories, creative sparks, and strategies that help you and your brand connect, engage, and grow.

Alpha energy only. Come run with us.
