Local Business Social Media Content in Reading

Reading's economy was long built on what locals called the Three Bs — beer, bulbs and biscuits — and by 1525 it was already the largest town in Berkshire.

Reading was the first place outside London to set up a Business Improvement District, in 2005; the town now has two, Reading Central and Abbey Quarter, both managed by REDA and covering around 900 businesses between them. ONS recorded 6,720 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.

Workers in Reading produced £48.48 of economic value for every hour worked in 2023 (ONS). That's the kind of local economy social media content is designed to work in.

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.
