Social Media Content: Built for Local Businesses in Shrub End
In Colchester's corner of the East of England region, Shrub End covers postcode district CO3 and borders Heckfordbridge, Lexden and Beacon End. Colchester, Roman Camulodunum, is regarded as Britain's oldest recorded town and served as the first capital of Roman Britain before being razed in the Boudican revolt around 60AD.
According to ONS, there were 7,510 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area. Our Colchester, the city centre's Business Improvement District, has represented more than 400 businesses since 2018, one of over 320 BIDs operating across the UK.
Gross disposable household income per head in Colchester was £24,738 in 2024 (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
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.
