A heart for small, local businesses
Social Drive was built by a small business owner, for small business owners. Not a venture-backed startup. Not a corporate agency. A person who has been in your shoes.
Meet Matt Baer
Matt spent a decade as a firefighter in Northern Virginia — a job that demands grit, precision and showing up for people on their worst day. When he left the fire service, he built a landscaping business from the ground up and ran it himself.
That taught him what small business owners actually face: tight margins, not enough hours in the day, and a marketing world that seems designed for companies with teams and budgets most small businesses will never have.
That gap became the mission. Social Drive started as a social media management agency. When the tools we rented got in the way of the work, we built our own — a publishing and approval platform, a video delivery system, a studio recorder and a live audience tool — and put them to work for clients.
Today Social Drive operates out of Greencastle, PA with a simple belief: small businesses deserve a partner, friend and coach who is as excited about their success as they are.
From the firehouse to the feed
A decade in the fire service

Building our own tools

Your success is our success
Hard work
We do not cut corners. Whether it is one logo or a full managed program, we put in the work.
Simplicity
Marketing does not have to be complicated. We bring you a clear plan and a report you can read in two minutes.
Honesty
If something is not working, we will tell you. We would rather lose a client with our integrity intact than keep one by telling them what they want to hear.
No lock-in
Everything is month to month. We earn your business every month because that is how it should work.
Community first
We care about the businesses that make our towns work — the main street diner, the HVAC company, the volunteer fire company.
Faith-driven
Our values are grounded in faith. We treat every client the way we would want to be treated: with respect, care and real investment in their success.
