Social Media Content for Hartlepool Local Businesses
According to local legend, Hartlepool residents once hanged a shipwrecked monkey during the Napoleonic Wars, mistaking it for a French spy, giving locals the enduring nickname monkey hangers.

The employment rate in Hartlepool was 67.9% in 2023 (ONS). That context matters for understanding who's actually available to buy from you, which is exactly what social media content is for.
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.
