Social Media Content for Local Businesses in Shetland Islands
Out Stack, off Muckle Flugga, is the northernmost point of the British Isles, and St Ninian's Isle features the largest active tombolo in the United Kingdom.
Living Lerwick, the town centre's Business Improvement District since 2012, was renewed for a fourth term in August 2026, running through to 2031, working on footfall, marketing, parking and business advocacy for Lerwick's traders. ONS recorded 1,600 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
15.7% of working-age people in Shetland Islands were economically inactive in 2023 (ONS). A labour market like that shapes who's around to become your customer - social media content helps you reach them.
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.
