Social Media Content for Local Businesses in Sunderland
Sunderland's twin monastery at Wearmouth-Jarrow, founded in 674 AD, produced the Venerable Bede, one of the most important scholars of the early medieval world. By 1815 the town had become the world's leading wooden shipbuilding port, launching around 600 ships a year from 31 separate yards along the Wear.
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. ONS recorded 6,085 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
11.8% of businesses in Sunderland were newly started ('born') in 2024 (ONS business demography). With that much movement in the local business population, social media content is exactly what helps a business hold its ground.
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.
