The flowers are blooming and so are we! Craeve & Co is expanding our team and broadening services to our clients.

We are excited to welcome Carolyn Minor as Content Creator. Carolyn, a 20 year foodservice veteran and Chicago local, brings her knowledge of the front and back-of-house and the Chicago market, and her copywriting and video editing abilities to the team.

Outside of her 9-5 content creation, she loves producing short films and posting on TikTok to her 10,000 followers, making her the perfect extension of Craeve’s existing services. Carolyn’s talents in post-production, video editing, and understanding of TikTok allow Craeve & Co to expand client services to include scripting, video marketing, video editing, launch execution for client TikTok accounts, and weekly TikTok trends to follow for established accounts.

This summer, watch Craeve & Co’s new blooms branch out into new territories.

Oftentimes, you will get a direct message from a company offering to sell you 15K followers for the low price of $99.99. What they don’t tell you is that 14,900 of these 15K followers are robots, and your REAL audience and community members will be able to tell. You will get spammy comments on your posts, your follower number will grow but your engagement on posts will stall, and you will have a lot of skeptical accounts following you!
