Social media works when there is a reason for people to follow you and something worth seeing when they do. Most brand accounts have neither, and post anyway. We work out what your account is actually for, then produce and run it to that.

Facebook advertising

Meta still reaches more people than anything else, and still rewards good creative over clever targeting. We do it in that order.

LinkedIn advertising

The only place you can reliably choose a job title, a company size and an industry. Expensive per click, and worth it when a customer is worth a lot.

Social media content creation

Photography, video, graphics and words, shot in batches so a single day covers a quarter.

Instagram advertising

A visual platform where the advertising has to meet the standard of the feed around it. We produce for the format.

YouTube advertising

The best place to explain a product properly, and the worst place to run a banner. The first five seconds decide everything.

TikTok advertising

Punishes repurposed advertising more than any platform. Made natively or not at all.

Deciding what the account is for

Recruitment, support, sales and reputation are four different jobs and they produce four different accounts. Trying to do all of them at once is why so many feeds read as noise. We pick one and let it lead.

Fewer platforms, properly

You do not need to be everywhere. We would rather you were genuinely good on the one or two platforms where your customers are than present on six. That decision usually saves more budget than anything else we recommend.

Organic and paid together

Organic reach on most platforms is now small enough that good content needs money behind it to be seen. We use paid to put budget behind the posts that are already earning attention rather than boosting on a schedule.

Social media marketing services FAQ

How often should we post?

Less often than most schedules assume, and consistently. Three good posts a week beat daily filler, and the filler actively suppresses the reach of the good ones.

Do follower numbers matter?

Rarely. A small audience of actual customers is worth more than a large one bought through giveaways, and the platforms show your posts to fewer of a disengaged audience anyway.

Should we be on TikTok?

Only if your customers are and you can produce for it properly. It punishes repurposed content more than any other platform.

Can you handle responses and messages?

We can, within agreed hours and an agreed tone. Anything needing your expertise gets passed to you rather than guessed at.
