📢 IF YOU'RE A BUSINESS OWNER… YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO READ THIS.

2026 is going to be the year you finally get your social media sorted. No more guesswork. No more “letting the youngster in the office give it a go.” And no - you don’t even need to hire anyone new (although, we can help with that if you’d like 😉).

We’re offering fully funded training for businesses who want to upskill their staff in social media & content creation. Just one day a week for 14 weeks is all it takes to take your social media manager from winging it ➡️ winning it.

🚀 Learn how to create content that actually connects
📊 Understand the algorithms instead of fighting them
📝 Build strategies that save you time and get results

This is your chance to stop posting for the sake of posting and start building a social media presence that works.

✨ Spaces are limited - drop us a message today to see if your business qualifies.

TOP TIP TUESDAY
Wondering what the Hooks going on? 🪝
Well today we have our top tip from our very own theory tutor Ayanna - A graphic designer and Social media Manager. 🤩

Ayannas tip for everyone out there would be "Ensure you've got a good Hook in your caption"

A Hook should be ;
Short (so it doesn’t get cut off)

Interesting/relatable (makes people stop scrolling)

Curiosity-sparking (promises value, story, or emotion if they keep reading)

Example:

“Nobody tells you THIS about starting a business…”

“Ever wondered why your posts aren’t getting seen?”
