Social media for local businesses

(without the corporate nonsense)

Helping pubs, cafés, B&Bs, and other independent businesses in Cumbria show up online in a way that actually matches who you are in real life — not corporate templates.

If you run a small, independent business in Cumbria and your social media doesn’t feel like you, this page is for you.

Most local businesses already have stories worth sharing — they just don’t always know how to turn them into clear, human social posts that make sense to real people.

That’s where I can help.

Examples of recent work

Posts created for The Shepherds Inn, Melmerby — clear messages with real results from real events.

How I help local businesses

  • Turn real plans and events into clear, readable posts
  • Make short videos that feel relaxed and human
  • Keep your pages ticking over between busy periods
  • Make sure your social media still sounds like you

Who this works well for

Independent pubs, cafés, B&Bs, farm shops, galleries, or other local plces that:

  • "Have great things going on in real life"
  • "Want their online presence to feel like them"
  • "Don’t want corporate templates or agency jargon"

Not ideal if you want big agency fluff, viral tricks, or followers over real footfall.

Here’s how we’d work together

  1. Have a chat
    We talk about what you’re trying to do and what already works for you.
    No pressure.
  2. Plan what you need
    We decide whether you want a few posts a week, event promos, Reels, or all of the above.
  3. Create + go live
    I make the posts and you approve them before anything goes live.
  4. Review and refine
    We check what’s working and keep it simple and consistent.
