Social Media Content: Built for Local Businesses in Cambridge
Cambridge was only granted official city status in 1951, despite centuries of fame, because it lacked a cathedral of its own — it sits within the Diocese of Ely — making it one of only a handful of UK cities without one.
Cambridge BID brings together 1,200 city centre businesses, covering an area that runs from the historic centre up Hills Road and Station Road to the newer CB1 development around the train station. ONS recorded 5,165 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
6.8% of businesses in Cambridge were classed as high-growth in 2024 (ONS). With that much movement in the local business population, social media content is exactly what helps a business hold its ground.
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
Step 1: Brand session
A short conversation about your tone of voice, your audience and what is worth posting about.
Step 2: Research
We look at your audience, your competitors and what has performed before.
Step 3: Monthly batch
We prepare posts, captions and graphics, with versions for each platform you have chosen.
Step 4: Your approval
You approve, change or reject every post. Nothing goes out without your say so.
Step 5: Scheduling and publishing
Approved posts are scheduled and go live on your accounts.
