Meet Connor: The Expert Behind the Engine.
At the core of Pugs Media is a decade of real social-media mastery. Connor has spent 10 years building, scaling, and studying platforms from the inside out, developing an instinct for strategy that only comes from posting, iterating, and winning at scale.
Across major platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube, he’s built a combined 4–5 million followers and drives 250+ million monthly views, numbers that aren’t theoretical reach, but the result of discipline, consistency, and deep platform understanding.
Connor has worked with a wide range of clients, from startup founders to financial advisors, realtors, lawyers, and public figures. He understands how to translate expertise into content that performs, regardless of industry. His approach is rooted in pattern recognition: what platforms reward, how audiences behave, and what consistently drives growth over time.
He has also collaborated directly with Instagram twice, validating his expertise at the platform level and reinforcing the strategic foundation behind Pugs’ system.
Before graduating from Wake Forest University, Connor teamed up with Charlie, a friend and business partner, and began scaling Pugs Media through a blend of creative talent, strategic clarity, and results-driven execution.
Connor’s credibility is the baseline for Pugs Media’s credibility. The frameworks we use. The content systems we build. The strategies we teach. It all originates from Connor’s lived experience and proven track record on the platforms clients are trying to win on.
