Local Business Social Media Content in Wakefield and Castleford
Wakefield calls itself the capital of the Rhubarb Triangle for its forced rhubarb cultivation, while nearby Castleford grew from a Roman settlement into a major coal mining town through the nineteenth century.
Wakefield and Castleford have no town-specific Chamber of Commerce, so small businesses across the district are served directly by independent accountancy, legal and insurance firms based in both towns. ONS recorded 10,155 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
23% of children in Wakefield were living in relative poverty (before housing costs) in 2024 (DWP/HMRC via ONS). Understanding the real economic context of the area you serve is part of doing marketing honestly and effectively - that's what social media content is built around.
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.
