I attended the Lunch and Learn, which was brilliant! Melanie is very down to earth and has many great tips, that you just can't find anywhere else. She is the Queen of Social in Sussex. The session was co-hosted by Rebecca Downie Photography. Rebecca was fab with iPhone camera tips and ideas on how to write content. Thank you, Melanie and Rebecca, for creating affordable and accessible social media training in Sussex.
Frankie Gray, Founder Harmony at Home
UKMB appointed the Sussex Social as our preferred marketing partner in March 2024 and since we have started working with Melanie Johnson she has implemented a well thought out marketing strategy and created some fantastic content for our monthly newsletters and social media posts. This in turn has introduced UKMB to a wider client base and given us a bigger presence within our marketplace which has been invaluable to our growth and development. Melanie has exceptional marketing skills with a high level of professionalism and integrity. Her work is always focussed with a strong direction but she can also accommodate other people’s ideas and is happy to work as part of the team. I would highly recommend the Sussex Social to anyone that is looking for a marketing partner that can deliver results and bring further success to your business.

I have attended workshops and had one-to-one training with Mel. I previously had no experience of marketing my business on social media. Mel helped me with my strategy, improving engagement and how to read the insights. Mel's knowledge about the world of social media and making it work for your business is extensive.
She has many top tips to help you develop a social media strategy that is unique to your business.
Lydia Offen, Stepping Stones Hypnotherapy
Melanie delivered a fantastic workshop on optimising email marketing. She took the time to really understand our goals and showed us practical ways to achieve them. We gained valuable insights on segmentation, boosting sales, and email marketing best practices that actually work. We’re excited to put everything we’ve learned into action, and I’d highly recommend Melanie to anyone looking to improve their email marketing strategy.
Lewis Knight, Sussex Chamber of Commerce
I attended a social media workshop run by Mel a couple of months ago. It has definitely helped. I have barely used all the tips and tricks she has given me and already my engagement on Facebook has improved. I feel so much more confident in what I am posting and when and it has made a noticeable impact on my business.
Allyson, Beading Brilliant
I first encountered Mel via a local women's business network in Brighton when she delivered a presentation on making the most of your social media. When I decided to take the plunge to set up my own business, Mel was the first person to spring to mind.
Mel really knows her stuff with social media, helping me navigate the world of algorthims and nuances of different platforms, growing a following, creating and structuring content, best use of hashtags and even demystifying SEO.
Working in a collaborative and professional style, Mel also brings her warmth and friendliness and is genuinely interested in and supportive of my business venture. I would highly recommend Mel for any founder, business owner or organisation looking to gain skills, confidence and drive value to their business from social media.

I was the lucky winner of Melanie's March Competition and had the pleasure of spending an hour with her to talk all things marketing and social media. She gave me a fresh perspective on Love Luxury Events. Her top tips were simple, effective, and best of all actionable without having to spend hours glued to my platforms. I left our session with some great nuggets of wisdom that I could implement straight away. Melanie’s advice was spot-on, practical, and exactly what I needed to move forward with clarity and confidence.
Claire Catliff, Love Luxury Events
As a business owner, there are a thousand things to do and finding time to do them all well is often an uphill struggle. Enter Melanie! Her guidance, advice and commitment to creating an efficient and effective social media marketing strategy has not only saved me hours, but also increased my impact, reach and engagement with new customers.
Michael Coltham, Black Lab Music
Mel has been advising me on my social media strategy over the past 6 months, guiding me on how to create and helping me produce, engaging content which resonates with my audience.
Mel's no-nonsense approach which comes across via her own social media activities really resonated with me, and since working with her I can see how authentic she is in her videos.
I am in constant awe of her strategic thinking and her ever increasing knowledge of social media marketing and business entrepreneurship. It has been a real pleasure working with Mel.
