Social Media Content: Built for Local Businesses in Blyth and Ashington

Blyth was the busiest coal port in England in 1961 and its shipyard built the first aircraft carrier, HMS Ark Royal, in 1914, while Ashington grew around its collieries to become known as the world's largest coal-mining village.

ONS recorded 11,600 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area. Blyth's businesses voted against creating their own Business Improvement District in a 2018 ballot, with only 59 votes in favour (49.2% of votes cast) falling short of the majority needed in both votes cast and rateable value; the town's businesses remain supported instead through individual firms and Northumberland-wide business support.

9.7% of businesses in Northumberland were newly started ('born') in 2024 (ONS business demography). 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.
