Social Media Content: Built for Local Businesses in Rickleton
Within Sunderland, Rickleton is a distinct local area. Rickleton is an area of Washington, in the City of Sunderland metropolitan borough in Tyne and Wear, England.
The most recent ONS snapshot (March 2026) recorded 6,085 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area. Sunderland BID has put over £6 million into the city centre since 2014, later expanding to cover the Sheepfolds area and launching a separate Seafront BID for the coastal business district.

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.
