Social Media Content for Local Businesses in South Shields
South Shields grew up around the Roman fort Arbeia, a cosmopolitan supply base for Hadrian's Wall, and in the 1890s became home to one of Britain's first settled Muslim communities as Yemeni sailors began crewing British merchant ships.
South Shields has no town-specific Business Improvement District, so local businesses are more commonly represented through the North East Chamber of Commerce, active since 1994 and one of the region's longest-running business organisations. ONS recorded 3,375 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
Workers in South Tyneside Council produced £30.35 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
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.
