Social Media Content: Built for Local Businesses in Crossgate Moor
In County Durham's corner of the North East region, Crossgate Moor covers postcode district DH1 and borders Neville's Cross, Houghall and Merryoaks. Durham Castle and Cathedral were among the UK's first UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and nearby Bishop Auckland's Auckland Castle served as the residence of the Prince-Bishops of Durham for almost 900 years.
Durham BID (trading as Life in Durham) represents businesses across the city, working to make it a better place to trade and visit; no equivalent BID covers Bishop Auckland. Government data (ONS, March 2026) counted 14,825 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses here.
Gross disposable household income per head in County Durham was £20,261 in 2024 (ONS). Local spending power like that is exactly the audience social media content is built to reach.
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.
