Trigger Warning: A screenshot is stealing.
It might seem harmless to screenshot a photo you found online, but photography is protected by copyright, and the images belong to the photographer who created them.
Using a photo without permission, even if you tag or credit the account that posted it, doesn’t automatically give you the right to use it. In some cases, copyright infringement can result in significant legal penalties.
The good news? It’s easy to do it the right way. License the image, ask for permission, or better yet, hire a photographer to create original content for your brand.
Great photography is an investment in your business, and the people behind the camera deserve to be compensated for their creativity and hard work.
Support creators. Respect copyright. Create original content.

Truly farm to table right here in East TN.
@farmtofeastknox is one of the most deliciously unique experiences and one that will leave you wanting more… and more. Learn about the farm, soak in incredible views and indulge in top tier cuisine.
Grab some friends and book your dinner or learn more about their prepared meals on the website.
Have you been to @dsbprovisions yet? If not, it’s time to check it out.
We were incredibly honored to partner with Dustin and his team to bring this Italian-inspired, farm-to-table concept to life. We’ve been longtime fans of this talented chef, and getting to collaborate with him has been an incredible experience.
From menu design and content to social media and web design, our team has loved seeing every detail come together and watching the response from the community.
Dustin and his wife Stacy also own a farm in Maryville, where many of the ingredients—including the eggs for the pasta—are sourced directly. His focus has always been simple: super fresh, high-quality ingredients and giving back to the community he’s part of.
Located in @greenwayvillagemaryville. Go pay them a visit (and leave a Google review while you’re there). 🤌
Absolutely exceptional custom homes on Marco Island? You found it.
@braunbuilders has been proudly building the area’s finest homes for over 20 years. Family-owned and operated. This isn’t just another custom builder, they’re artisans.
We can’t wait to show you what they’re building next.

Optimizing your marketing efforts so they are cohesive is key. Especially with recent changes to Google.
Three things every restaurant website should have right now:
1. A video that showcases the overall experience and highlights food and beverage options.
2. A menu (ideally not just a PDF)
3. Reservation integration
A huge congratulations to Todd Richesin on reaching 100,000 followers on Instagram.
Over the past several years, we’ve had the privilege of working alongside Todd to help grow his digital presence, expand his reach across platforms, and share his unique voice with a larger audience. From Instagram and TikTok to YouTube, print media, and most recently the Richesin & Famous podcast, it’s been incredible to watch his audience continue to grow.
As one of the most recognizable interior designers and lifestyle personalities in East Tennessee, Todd has built a community that extends far beyond design. His authenticity, creativity, humor, and unmistakable point of view have earned the attention of 100,000 people who genuinely enjoy following his journey.
At South Made, we are honored to be part of that story and grateful for the trust Todd has placed in our team over the years.
🥂Congratulations on an incredible milestone, Todd. Here’s to the next 100,000.

Providing the receipts.
It’s easy to say you understand social media marketing. It’s a lot harder to consistently create content that earns attention, drives local engagement, organically.
Because successful social media isn’t just posting for the sake of posting. It’s strategy. Audience psychology. Storytelling. Timing. Trends. Creative execution. Testing. Analyzing. Adjusting. Repeating.
Anyone can hit “publish.”
The real challenge is getting people to stop scrolling.
So instead of telling you we’re good at social media, we’ll show you. These are just a few of the results we’ve generated through organic content strategy for our clients recently.

Cheers to the art of doing it all! 🥂 A big congratulations goes out to our very own (uber-talented) @hallie_lunsford, who recently said “I do” not just to joining the South Made social team full-time, but also to her amazing husband!

Enjoy your honeymoon, Hallie. But hurry back… social never sleeps. 😉
