Social Media Content for Local Businesses in Dumfries
Robert Burns spent the last eight years of his life in Dumfries after taking a steady job with the Excise Service in 1791, drinking and debating in the town's taverns while writing hundreds of songs. He died there on 26 July 1796, the same day his wife gave birth to their ninth child.

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.
