Social Media Content: Built for Local Businesses in The Straits
The Straits is one of Dudley's local areas, within postcode district DY3, bordering Ruiton, Gornalwood and Smestow. Dudley is branded the capital of the Black Country, and quarrymen working its 19th-century limestone mines regularly found the trilobite fossil that became known locally as the Dudley Bug.
ONS counted 10,100 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses here. Dudley itself has no town centre Business Improvement District, unlike Halesowen and Stourbridge elsewhere in the borough; local businesses are instead represented through the Black Country Chamber of Commerce, covering Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton.
28% of children in Dudley were living in relative poverty (before housing costs) in 2024 (DWP/HMRC via ONS). That's real context about the customers you're reaching, which social media content is designed to take seriously rather than ignore.
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.
