Social Media Content: Built for Local Businesses in Whitby
Whitby's clifftop abbey ruins and a church surrounded by swooping bats gave Bram Stoker the setting for Dracula after he stayed at 6 Royal Crescent in 1890, and the town's long association with jet — a black gemstone mined from its coastline and fashioned into mourning jewellery after Queen Victoria adopted it in 1861 — once supported over 200 jet workshops employing around 1,500 people in the 1870s.
According to ONS, there were 32,555 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area. Whitby has no chamber of trade or Business Improvement District of its own; its independent shops, guesthouses and fishing-related businesses rely instead on North Yorkshire Council's countywide business support service and the York & North Yorkshire Growth Hub for free advice and grants.
Gross disposable household income per head in North Yorkshire was £27,703 in 2024 (ONS). That's real spending power locally - social media content is how you make sure some of it finds its way to you.
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.
