From Zero to 1,100 Reach in Three Months
A brand with great products but almost no social presence. Through consistent social media optimisation — audit, strategy, content and engagement — we built real, growing reach on Facebook and Instagram from a standing start.

The Challenge
The client had high-quality products but struggled online — low engagement, limited brand awareness, a thin presence across social platforms, an inconsistent posting schedule, and difficulty keeping up with fast-changing trends and algorithms. The result: content that wasn’t being seen, and reach stuck near zero.
Our Approach
We ran a complete SMO programme — a social media audit, deep audience research, a brand-aligned content strategy, and a proactive engagement strategy — backed by consistent posting and weekly performance tracking. Everything focused on turning a dormant presence into one that grows.
