My name is Holden Boyce, and I am the General Manager of Fight Ready MMA and Fitness in Scottsdale, AZ. Fight Ready is a premier Mixed Martial Arts and fitness facility that is home to many professional MMA athletes featured in UFC, Bellator, One Championship, and PFL. We are also home to many National and Olympic wrestling athletes. Marlee Smith became the Social Media Manager for Fight Ready in October of 2022. Marlee has full control of the Fight Ready social media platform as she manages and oversees our Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter (X), TikTok, and YouTube accounts. Marlee also has full control over all digital ad marketing that we launch through our socials. Since hiring Marlee in October 2022, our social media presence has grown immensely. Over the last 90 days, Fight Ready social media platforms have reached 55.7% more accounts than in the previous 90 days. We have also gained 23.3% more impressions per post. Fight Ready has multiple reel posts with over 100k views, all due to the investment made in our social media platform engagement. Marlee has done great work helping to grow and facilitate all our platforms, therefore expanding our reach in the MMA community. I have a high regard for Marlee Smith and her work ethic and constant commitment to Fight Ready. Through this hard work and commitment, Fight Ready has been able to grow our social media presence to a new level, which has in turn made a positive impact on our business. I recommend Marlee Smith to anyone looking to grow their business and create a larger reach through their social media platforms.
Next Wave Media and Marlee have made a significant difference in helping us promote our brand and grand opening at Thrive. We’ve seen an increase in traffic on our social media accounts and Marlee kept us up to date on the ever-changing trends and creative ways to promote our grand opening. Having Marlee allowed me to focus on the business end of things while she focused on getting the word out about our new medspa.
Working with Marlee and Next Wave Media has been easily one of the best decisions I have made as a small business owner. In hiring Next Wave, Marlee has taken an enormous amount of work off of my hands, allowing me to pour energy into scaling my business while gaining new clients. Marlee is professional and, importantly, sticks to our posting schedule week in, week out. I’ve referred Marlee to my network, as I believe she’s not only passionate about what she does, but incredible capable on social media, something many entrepreneurs find time consuming and frustrating. Thank you Next Wave for all of the work you have done for me and my business, Afterglow Aesthetics Studio!
I have to share how incredible my experience has been working with Marlee. I had never hired someone for anything like this before, so I honestly didn’t know what to expect—but she has completely blown me away. From day one, she’s been so kind, patient, and genuinely easy to talk to. She made me feel comfortable right away, which meant a lot since I was stepping into something totally new. It never feels transactional—she really cares, and it shows. What really stands out is how organized and on top of everything she is. Every detail is handled seamlessly, and I always feel confident that nothing is slipping through the cracks. On top of that, her knowledge of current trends—especially within our specific industry—is seriously impressive. She just gets it, and it shows in the results. Honestly, she has completely blown me away. If you’re on the fence about hiring someone to manage your social media, take it from me—it’s worth it when you find someone this talented!
