Social Media Content for Dowlais Local Businesses
In Merthyr Tydfil, Dowlais stands as its own local area. A historic ironworks village that once employed over 7,000 people.
The Big Heart of Merthyr Tydfil, only the second Business Improvement District in Wales when it was set up in 2012, was renewed for a further five years after 95% of town centre businesses voted in favour. Government data (ONS, March 2026) recorded 1,255 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
24.2% of children in Merthyr Tydfil were living in relative poverty (before housing costs) in 2024 (DWP/HMRC via ONS). That's real context about the customers you're reaching, which social media content is designed to take seriously rather than ignore.
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.
