The opportunity

Why this business works now

Businesses need consistent social communication that reflects the brand and responds to customers, not occasional posts without a plan. An agency can deliver this through monthly retainers supported by campaign and production work. The plan explains prospecting, audits, proposals, channel strategy, content calendars, production, approvals, publishing, moderation, escalation, performance reports and renewals.

  • Strategy and daily management

    Planning, content and community response form one ongoing service.

  • Monthly retainer model

    Regular delivery supports predictable agency and client planning.

  • Organic and paid activity

    Content can be supported by campaigns and influencer work.
