Social Media Management

Socialmediamanagementthatactuallymovesthebusinessforward

Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and LinkedIn — fully managed. You send raw footage, we handle editing, captions, scheduling, community and growth. Dedicated content strategist, monthly reporting, direct line to the team. Packages from £995/month.

Built for brands that want consistent output without hiring in-house

We work with founders, professional service brands and ambitious SMEs who've realised that posting sporadically isn't getting them anywhere — and that hiring a full-time social manager is a £35k+ commitment before you've even got the work out. We sit somewhere in between: a senior strategist plus a small production team, on retainer, for the price of a junior hire.

You're growing by word of mouth and want a real content engine behind it.

You have raw footage on your phone but no time to edit, caption, schedule.

You've tried freelancers and generalist agencies and the output didn't hold up.

You want one strategist who knows your brand, not a team of juniors.

You need consistent multi-platform presence: IG, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook.

You want reporting tied to enquiries, not just impressions.

Four platforms. One team. Native content for each.

Every package includes Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and LinkedIn as standard. Content is written and edited for each platform — not cross-posted the lazy way.

Instagram

Reels, carousels, stories. The home of polished, scroll-stopping brand content.

TikTok

Native short-form built for the FYP — punchy hooks, fast cuts, on-trend formats.

LinkedIn

Founder-led, value-first content for B2B reach, hiring and high-ticket leads.

Facebook

Still essential for community, events, and reach with 35+ audiences.

What's included every month

The same operating system runs underneath every tier. The difference between Starter, Growth and Signature is volume, depth of strategy and how much we're actively driving growth.

Content planning + posting

Monthly calendar, written for the platform, scheduled and published on your behalf.

Editing + captions

You send raw footage. We edit, caption, hook and format for each platform.

Community + DM management

Replies, comments and inbound messages handled in your voice, escalated to you only when needed.

Growth + hashtag strategy

Real strategy, not guesswork. Tested hooks, hashtag clusters and content formats that actually move the numbers.

Monthly reporting

A clear report tied to outcomes you care about — reach, engagement, profile visits, inbound enquiries.

Dedicated strategist

One named contact who knows your brand inside out, plus a direct line to the team writing and producing the work.

You send raw footage. We handle the rest.

Clear lines from day one. We run the content engine. You do the part that only you can do.

How the month runs

No mystery. Every client follows the same four-step rhythm from day one.

Onboarding + brand deep-dive

In week one we map your voice, audience, offer, and the three or four content pillars we'll build the strategy around.

2

Content plan + shot list

You get a monthly content calendar and a clear shot list so when you sit down to film, you know exactly what to capture.

3

We produce, schedule, post

You send raw footage. We handle editing, captions, scheduling, posting, and community management across every platform.

4

Reporting + strategy call

Monthly report tied to real outcomes, plus a strategy call (Growth and Signature) to refine direction based on what the numbers are saying.

Social media management FAQs

What brands usually want to know before booking a call.

Our social media management starts at £995 per month for Starter (8 posts + 12 stories), £1,850 for Growth (12–16 posts + 20–30 stories with full strategy), and £3,500 for Signature (20+ posts + daily stories, influencer outreach and lead-gen). UK agencies typically range from £600 for very junior freelance work up to £5,000+ for fully resourced social media departments. Our pricing sits in the middle of that band but with a senior strategist on every account, not a junior running templated content.

Every package includes Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and LinkedIn. We handle content planning, captions, hashtag strategy, scheduling and posting, community and DM engagement, and monthly reporting. You get a dedicated content strategist as your main contact, plus a direct line to our team. Growth and Signature add monthly strategy calls, competitor analysis, and on Signature a monthly in-person content day, influencer outreach and lead-generation strategy.

Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and LinkedIn are included in every package as standard — these are the four platforms where modern UK brands get the most return. We can add YouTube Shorts, X or a niche platform on request if your audience genuinely lives there. We don't recommend running every platform for the sake of it — focus beats spread every time.

Most clients send raw footage from their phone — voice notes, behind-the-scenes clips, talking-head pieces — and we handle editing, captions, scheduling and posting from there. If you need someone on site producing the content, our Content Day on site bolt-on is £1,250/day. Signature includes a monthly content day as standard.

No long contract. We work month-to-month with 30 days' notice to cancel. We can do that because the work speaks for itself — the moment it stops being worth it for you, it's not worth it for us either.

You'll see the content engine producing within the first 30 days. Engagement metrics (saves, shares, profile visits, DMs) typically pick up between weeks 6 and 12 as the strategy compounds. Inbound enquiries from organic social usually start landing between months 3 and 6. Paid social shortens that loop substantially — useful once we've learned which messages convert organically.

Yes — and most clients do once the organic content engine is running and we know which messages convert. Meta ads management is £750/month plus ad spend, TikTok ads management is £750/month plus spend, and LinkedIn ads management is £950/month plus spend. You can add them at any point.

Personal Brand Digital Launch is built specifically for solo founders growing a personal brand — it bundles a website, newsletter, content strategy and lighter-touch social into one £799/month fee. Social Media Management is the standalone, higher-output service for brands and businesses that want a fully managed multi-platform social presence — typically running 12–20+ posts a month with full community and growth strategy. Most clients pick one or the other; a few stack both.
