Parents love your classes - so let’s help them love your content too.

Running parent, baby, or toddler sessions is so rewarding, but let’s be honest, it can also be relentless. Families move on, babies grow up, and suddenly you’re back to filling spaces again.

We get it, you didn’t start your business to become a salesperson. But building an online community doesn’t have to feel like selling. It’s about connection, confidence, and keeping your classes front of mind for the next wave of parents who need you.

Join us for Building Community & Connection Online, a practical, friendly one-hour workshop designed to help you feel more confident, make marketing easier, and turn your social media into something that works with you, not against you.

📅 Tuesday 11th November, 7–8pm (GMT)
💻 Online via Teams
🎟️ Just £10 per person
📹 Can’t make it live? You’ll get access to the recording for a full week afterwards.

You’ll learn how to:
• Understand your audience and reach the right people
• Use social media to build a warm, supportive community
• Create content that feels natural (not salesy!)
• Keep families engaged long after their last class
• And maybe… start building that dream waiting list

Hosted by Rebecca Hopwood (Youbee Media & The Hive Academy) and Lauren Jones (PR Expert from Comms) — two mums who’ve seen first-hand the challenges this community faces and are here to make marketing feel that bit easier.

🎂 Instagram turns 15 today!

From simple photo sharing to 15-second videos, IGTV, Stories, and now Reels, Instagram has completely transformed how we connect, share, and do business online.

With Reels now accounting for over 38% of feed content in 2025, the platform has become an essential tool for brands aiming to engage audiences with authentic, creative, and timely content.

As a marketing agency, we’ve seen how these features have reshaped strategies, encouraging brands to think like creators, tell meaningful stories, and adapt to the fast-moving social media landscape.

Can you remember what it looked like back in the day?

🎉 Youbee Media is 5! 🎉

Today we’re celebrating a very special milestone, and what an incredible 5 years it’s been. Starting out during Covid was no small challenge, but from day one we’ve been lucky enough to work with some amazing people. Some of our clients have been with us since the very beginning, some we only worked with for a short time, but whether the project was big or small, every single one has played a part in shaping our story.

Over the past five years, we’ve grown our team, watched team members develop and flourish, and shared so many brilliant moments together. We’ve delivered workshops, launched new services, developed our own learning platform, faced challenges, celebrated wins, and learned more than we could ever have imagined when this all began.

Today we marked the occasion with a buzzing birthday party, complete with cake, pizza, lots of balloons, and plenty of time to reflect on just how far we’ve come.

From clients and collaborators to partners, supporters, and friends of the business – we want to say the biggest thank you. We couldn’t be more grateful for putting your faith and marketing in our hands.
Here’s to the next five years of creativity, growth, and buzzing with ideas! 🥂🐝
