Local Business Social Media Content in Barking and Dagenham

Barking was once home to the Short Blue Fleet, the largest fishing fleet in the world when it formed in 1764, and Dagenham's Ford plant, built 1929-31, became one of the largest car factories in Europe, producing 360,000 military vehicles during the Second World War.

Barking & Dagenham Chamber of Commerce represents the borough's businesses, most of which are small and medium-sized, with more than 95% employing fewer than 50 people. ONS recorded 8,540 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.

62.5% of new businesses in Barking and Dagenham were still trading two years on, as of 2022 (ONS). Numbers like that make social media content worth having, not optional - a static approach loses ground fast in a market this active.

About Social Media Content

Social Media Content is our monthly service for owners who would rather run their business than stare at an empty caption box. We think of the ideas, write the words and design the graphics, then send every batch to you for approval before anything goes out.

How it works, start to finish

  1. Step 1: Brand session

    A short conversation about your tone of voice, your audience and what is worth posting about.

  2. Step 2: Research

    We look at your audience, your competitors and what has performed before.

  3. Step 3: Monthly batch

    We prepare posts, captions and graphics, with versions for each platform you have chosen.

  4. Step 4: Your approval

    You approve, change or reject every post. Nothing goes out without your say so.

  5. Step 5: Scheduling and publishing

    Approved posts are scheduled and go live on your accounts.
