Social Media Content: Built for Local Businesses in Colton Common

Colton Common sits within Leeds, Yorkshire and The Humber, covering the LS15 postcode area, with Cross Gates, Whitkirk and Halton close by. Leeds Kirkgate Market, one of Europe's largest covered markets, began as an open-air market in 1822 and is the birthplace of Marks & Spencer, founded here in 1884 when Michael Marks set up a 'penny bazaar' stall with the slogan 'Don't ask the price, it's a penny'. Today the Victorian market hall still holds over 800 stalls and draws more than 100,000 visitors a week.

LeedsBID is the largest multi-sector Business Improvement District outside London, representing close to 800 city centre businesses across every sector. According to ONS's recorded figures for March 2026, there were 29,830 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.

10.1% of businesses in Leeds closed ('died') 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.
