Behind The Screen
A little bit about us
Along the way, we’ve supported countless businesses and startups throughout Los Angeles, helping them sharpen their presence online through social media, websites, and strategy. We also run Nerds of LA, a LinkedIn community that connects powerhouse groups like Expert Dojo, The KINN, and Demo Day LA — expanding the reach of LA’s most forward-thinking communities.
Our track record is as strong as our network.
We’re Madeleine and Luke, the duo behind Buzz Social Media Marketing. Through the power of marketing and connection, we’ve built one of LA’s strongest startup networks — growing Startup Coil to more than 22,000 members and creating spaces for founders, VCs, and innovators to connect and collaborate.
