The Background

Altar’d Socials, previously known as Social By Claire, is a social media management company that has been serving clients since 2020. We are a passionate, young, creative, and fun group of people who are dedicated to helping our clients grow their businesses.

Our team started with our founder, Claire Ficek, and quickly grew when demand was high for our services. Soon after the launch of Social By Claire, Claire was in need of client managers to help with the demand of social media management.

That completes our dream team! Read more about our amazing team below.

  • Claire Ficek

    CEO + FOUNDER

    Hello! I am the CEO and founder of Altar’d Socials. I have always been passionate about social media, as well as helping entrepreneurs grow their business and brand experience on social media.

    I am a Minnesota girl at heart, so you can usually find me outside with my dog daughter (Nala), going on a walk, or on the lake. I am currently studying at the University of Mississippi, so you might hear an occasional "hey y'all" during our conversations!

    I started this business in hopes of making my passion into a career. Just one year later, that hope really has become a reality. I care about every business I work with, and I am so proud of the work my team does.

From the moment we met I knew she was exactly what I was needing in a social media manager. Her organization, attention to detail, thoroughness, yes attitude and positivity blew me away! She is moving my business in the right direction and I’m so excited to continue to moving forward to see what we can achieve long term.

Where do I begin? I reached out to Claire for some much needed website help. We met and instantly connected. It was like she knew what I wanted for my blog without barely telling her a thing. She is so helpful, driven and has endless ideas. I am so thankful to have met her and that we had the opportunity to work together. She made my website come to life. Never judge a book by its cover, just because she’s young doesn’t mean she doesn’t know anything. She’s the best in the biz and a #bossbabe.

Altar’d Socials built my website miss9a.com and did an incredible job. Working with Claire was easy and informative, especially since I know very little about how technology works. Her professionalism is at the highest degree, as well as her patiences. I will continue to retain Claire in training of social media and expanding my web business. Thank you, Claire!
