The Manchester social media agency that measures enquiries, not likes
Strategy, content and community management that builds an audience worth having, measured on what it returns, not how many strangers tapped a heart.

Learn more →Here is the uncomfortable truth most social media agencies won’t put in writing: likes don’t pay wages. A post can reach ten thousand people and generate nothing; another can reach three hundred and land two enquiries worth five figures. We run social media for Manchester businesses with that distinction at the centre: enquiries and pipeline are the measure, and everything else is a means to them.
The work is a system, not a posting schedule. Strategy that decides which platforms deserve your effort (usually fewer than you think), content built around what your customers actually care about, community management that turns comments into conversations, and honest monthly reporting on what it all returned. Because social runs on a constant supply of material, it works best fed by content marketing: one good piece of thinking becomes a month of posts.
We’ll also be straight about what organic social is: a slow compounder. It builds familiarity and trust over months, not days, which is why we often pair it with paid social for reach you can turn on immediately, and email to own the audience you’ve built rather than renting it from an algorithm.

Questions, answered honestly
How will we know it’s working?
You get a monthly report in plain English: what we published, what it reached, and what it produced in profile visits, messages and enquiries. Targets are agreed in writing at the strategy stage, so there is a number to judge us against rather than a feeling. If something isn’t working, the report says so and the plan changes.
How long before social media delivers results?
Organic social is a slow compounder: expect three to six months of consistent work before it meaningfully affects enquiries, with momentum building from there. Anyone promising viral growth in month one is selling lottery tickets. Paid social can bridge the gap while the organic side builds.
Which platforms should my business be on?
Fewer than you think. B2B usually means LinkedIn first; consumer brands lean Instagram, TikTok or Facebook depending on who buys from you. The honest answer comes from where your customers actually spend time, which is the first thing we work out, before any content gets made.
Do you need us to be involved, or do you handle everything?
We handle the system: strategy, content, publishing, community. But the best-performing accounts include some genuine input from you: photos from jobs, opinions, faces. Ten minutes a week of raw material from you beats stock imagery every time, and we make providing it painless.
What about followers? Ours are quite low.
Follower count is the most overrated number in marketing. A local business with 800 genuinely local followers will outperform one with 20,000 bought or irrelevant ones. We grow audiences the useful way: slower, real, and made of people who might actually buy from you.
Can you just do the strategy and we’ll post it ourselves?
Yes. Some clients want the full service; others want a strategy, content pillars and templates they can execute in-house. The second option works well for teams with the time and discipline to stick at it. We’re happy either way, and we’ll tell you honestly which suits you.
