Social Media Content: Built for Local Businesses in Western Hill
Western Hill, in County Durham, North East, falls under postcode district DH1, near Gilesgate, Neville's Cross and Framwellgate Moor. Durham Castle and Cathedral were among the UK's first UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and nearby Bishop Auckland's Auckland Castle served as the residence of the Prince-Bishops of Durham for almost 900 years.
According to official ONS figures, there were 14,825 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area. Durham BID (trading as Life in Durham) represents businesses across the city, working to make it a better place to trade and visit; no equivalent BID covers Bishop Auckland.
Job density in County Durham was 0.64 in 2024 (ONS) - roughly that many jobs for every working-age resident. That context matters for understanding who's actually available to buy from you, which is exactly what social media content is for.
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.
