We are honoured to be involved in raising awareness for the Hope 100 Warrington walk which took place on Saturday.

There were almost 300 people who turned up at Victoria Park to walk for World Su***de Prevention Day which is tomorrow.

We voluntarily set up and have been running Hope100's social media for 3 years, partnering with the likes of Warrington Speak Up, The Warrington Wolves Foundation, YourLiveWire, Warrington Borough Council, and Sentinel Ambulance Service to get as many people as possible together in one place and walk for such an important cause.

Here's a great write up from Warrington worldwide telling you all about the event.

MEMBERS of the Warrington community turned out in force for the Hope 100 Walk ahead of World Su***de Prevention Day this coming Wednesday, September 10th.

A personal post from me (Helen)....🐾🧡
It's taken a while to get around to writing this post, even now whilst typing, it's hard not to shed tears.

On the 26th August, this beautiful Cavapoochon called Ellie went to doggie heaven and left a hole in our hearts.

At just 5 years old, Ellie was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer (after twice having surgery to remove tumours from her stomach previously). The type of cancer was so rare that the animal hospital said they had only seen it in a dog once. They gave Ellie 3-5 months to live.

9 months on, and this little trooper had defied the odds and outlived her diagnosis, still loving life and wagging her tail right to the end. In her final 48 hours she went downhill rapidly and we all knew, including Ellie herself, that it was time. She passed peacefully in our arms with so much love around her.

Ellie was our office dog, she loved the attention from everyone who passed by. She has starred in many of our clients' posts, loving the camera and looking stunningly gorgeous every time.

It's so strange not having her around, but she's at peace now and no longer suffering.

Gone far too soon, but forever loved and in our hearts. ❤️

Core Social got a mention yesterday after a very rare goal 🤣💛👏

Today Helen met up with Chris from Spiky Carrot for the big reveal of Core Social's advert now up in the Number Nine Café (one of our fabulous clients!). 🙌

It made sense to advertise in Number 9, especially because it means we can showcase our work right where it’s happening.

Anyone sitting in the café who spots our poster whilst enjoying their coffee can check out Number 9’s socials and see exactly what we do for businesses in Cheshire.

A huge thank you to Chris. It was great to catch up (twice in one week, how lucky are you! 😜).

Spiky Carrot is brilliant and such a great advertising concept for independent businesses. It allows venues to support local businesses, helping build their credibility and reputation, while advertisers gain more visibility by being promoted in spaces that attract their ideal audiences. Not to mention, the local community benefits from discovering and supporting amazing businesses.

If you are a venue that wants to get involved or a business owner that fancies advertising yourself at a very affordable price - Get in touch with Chris!

We heard a great phrase today from the fabulous Sun Yi at the Andrew and Pete ATOMICON....

💬 "Commenting is creating content"

We cannot emphasise enough how important ENGAGEMENT is. Yes it's a little time-consuming, yes it can be a mundane task, yes it isn't exciting as creating content or coming up with a social media strategy, BUT....it works!

1️⃣ Find content in your niche or industry that already has engagement and conversation happening
2️⃣ Leave a thoughtful comment that adds value, shows your perspective or expertise (without being disrespectful to the original post)
3️⃣ Respond to anyone who replies to your comment and start that conversation!
4️⃣ Turn that comment or perspective into a post for your own feed

It's simple and important if you want to grow your social media presence organically. Spend just 15 minutes a day doing this and you will see a difference in reach, following and engagement!

And if you do give it a try, let us know how you get on 👍

There’s something about wearing a hard hat and high-vis that gives you that ‘we're part of something big’ feeling' – even if you’re just there to capture content!👷‍♀️📸

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Chloe and Jon at Number Nine for the last 6 months. The food is fantastic (if you think we are being biased, go try it for yourself, we are very confident that you'll 100% agree!).

The team are incredibly friendly and helpful, making every content creation visit easy and enjoyable. We’ve also loved chatting with the customers, who are such an engaging and welcoming community.

We’ve really enjoyed attending the various evening events held at Number Nine with other local businesses - there’s always something for everyone to enjoy!

We’re looking forward to continuing our work with Number Nine and supporting the café’s growth even further ❤️

A couple who opened their dream café in Great Sankey say the first six months has been ‘incredible’ after it has proved to be a popular spot.

Whilst it's trending... 😜

We all gave the trending AI Barbie doll a go at Core Social, and after some truly questionable attempts by myself (Helen), Amy’s version was by far the best and definitely the most flattering for my doll. 🤣

We also tried to swap the heels (which I would never be able to walk in) for a pair of white trainers and a green jacket suit...but we hit our limit of adjustments.

Anyway, after a number of attempts and limited tweaks, we settled for this - What do you think?

Have you tried the AI Barbie doll trend yet?

Quality visual content is only one part of the puzzle when it comes to effective social media management. 📸📽️

If you want to grow your socials organically, then another piece of the puzzle is spending some time actually talking to your audience, getting involved in conversations, starting conversations and building a loyal online community.

Start thinking beyond your own page:
👉 Are you popping over to your ideal client's posts and leaving thoughtful, strategic (but not salesy) comments?
👉 Are you replying to comments in your posts with actual conversation - not just with emojis?
👉 Are you making time to scroll and support the people you want to connect with in Facebook groups?

You don't need to spend hours a day doing this either. 10-20 minutes per day is a good start and you can build it up from there. Once you get the hang of finding who you are looking to engage with and how, it will get easier and quicker.

These proactive engagements can go a long way in growing your visibility and building real online communities for your business.

Don't forget, social media isn't just a broadcast platform; it's meant to be social!

How long do you spend proactively engaging with your audience?
