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.

Since working with Mel, I feel like I am on the right track with my social media and have found ways to niche and batch my content and pricing and to market my services differently. The course is easy to access, in bite-sized pieces of work that are easy to fit into your week and helps you to gain clarity over what you really need to be doing on SM to save you time. The content was great, but there was also so much value in the weekly coaching calls in terms of providing accountability and helping me to come up with and implement some great new ideas. I now have clarity, direction and more ideas for engagement and visibility around my social media marketing.

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.

Thank you so much for supporting us with the social media training. The quality and consistency of posting has really improved, and I’m pleased to report that company and individual engagement is significantly up across LinkedIn.

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.

Thanks Mel. It was a brilliant course. Massively informative and dispelled a number of worries shared by the group in using Linkedin effectively. I came away feeling that I had a great foundation to start using Linkedin properly and get the most out of it.
Zoe Daines, Freshmill
Melanie is fantastic to work with, so knowledgeable and understands the complexities and limitations of a small business. Melanie developed a social strategy that totally met the requirements of the brief and then successfully implemented for 6 months during our busy selling season. Melanie is very communicative, always available to answer questions and has the much needed patience when working with small businesses with lots of moving parts! I would highly recommend Melanie for any business looking for a 100% trusted agency to support with their social needs.
Katie Kiddle, Cocoon Babies
The two-hour clarity session with Mel was incredibly worthwhile. We covered a significant amount in two hours, far more than I had anticipated.
Mel demonstrated a genuine interest in understanding both myself and my business, and provided some great insights and targeted actions to take.
Our conversation flowed freely, thanks to Mel’s personable nature and excellent communication skills. By the end of the session, I felt motivated, more confident and significantly less overwhelmed about using social media in my business.
Sarah Haines, Winwood Haines
We were feeling really at sea with Social Media - which platforms to use, and when, what to post and where. Mel brought much-needed clarity and focus, helping us build an overall strategy to suit our business channels that we can evolve and develop. Her approach was so honest and open, and her knowledge and experience were exemplary. She even coached us through the platforms we were not familiar with! Thank you, Mel.

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.
