Today we’d like to introduce you to Lexie Marner.
Hi Lexie, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I’ve always had a thing for building something out of nothing. In college, I started an online resale boutique that ended up doing over $1.6 million in revenue, which is really where I learned how to create demand, build a brand, and turn attention into actual sales.
From there, I stepped into roles like Creative Director for Texas Lutheran University and Head of Marketing for Saving Face Austin, but I kept coming back to the same thing, I loved helping small businesses grow in a way that actually worked, not just looked pretty online.
So I started my own business, The Social Prost. Now I work with small businesses across the Texas Hill Country creating content that isn’t just aesthetic, it’s strategic. My whole thing is creating FOMO that converts into real customers.
I’m big on consistency, strong branding, and content that feels human. No fluff, no overcomplication, just content that connects and grows your business.
At the end of the day, I have a real passion for the small business owner who’s in it, who has hope, who’s hustling. If I can play even a small part in helping bring their vision to life, that’s what makes this all feel meaningful to me.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I think one of the biggest challenges has been figuring things out as I go while still trying to grow something sustainable. When you’re building your own business, there’s no clear roadmap, you’re making decisions in real time, learning through trial and error, and carrying a lot of responsibility on your shoulders.
Balancing growth with consistency has also been a challenge. There are seasons where things are moving quickly, and others where you have to stay disciplined and trust what you’re building, even when it’s not instantly paying off.
More recently, navigating business ownership alongside becoming a mom has been a whole new level of challenge. It’s forced me to get really clear on my priorities, my time, and how I structure my business.
I’ve also had to learn how to set boundaries, build a team, and let go of control in certain areas, which doesn’t come naturally when you care deeply about your work.
But every challenge has made me better, more efficient, more focused, and more confident in what I bring to the table.
We’ve been impressed with The Social Prost, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
The Social Prost is a social media content agency built specifically for small businesses that want to grow in a real, sustainable way, not just look good online.
We specialize in creating strategic, high quality content that actually converts. That means everything we do is intentional, from how a video is filmed, to the hook, to the caption, to how it is scheduled. It is not just about posting consistently, it is about posting with purpose.
What sets us apart is that we do not just manage social media, we act as a marketing partner. Most of our clients do not have the time or expertise to keep up with what is working, so we take that off their plate and bring them content that builds awareness, creates engagement, and ultimately drives customers through their doors.
I am really proud of the fact that we have grown through relationships and results. A lot of our business has come from word of mouth, which says a lot about the trust we build with our clients.
At the core of it, The Social Prost is about helping small businesses stand out in a crowded space. We focus on strong branding, consistency, and creating that sense of FOMO that makes people want to buy, book, or walk in.
More than anything, we genuinely care about the people behind the businesses. When our clients win, we win, and that is what makes the work so rewarding.
Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
Be yourself. Authenticity sells itself.
Not everyone is going to like you or what you offer, and that is okay. It usually just means it is not aligned, and that is a good thing.
Put yourself out there. Join the groups, go to the events, send the DMs. Build real relationships, not just connections.
It might feel uncomfortable at first, but it pays off. Every opportunity I have had has come from putting myself in the room or reaching out.
