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 recently participated in one of Melanie's courses and it has been a real turning point for this social media platform. I finally registered to go on the as what Melanie was offering was the perfect solution. It was a 3-hour hands-on workshop. Where in a small group we went through how to get set up. How to make your profile look good and then what to do. The workshop was informal, relaxed and educational. I might even say fun. We all got on really well as Melanie made it a relaxed and informative environment.
Since the course, I have seen a rapid rise in the traffic and interactions and there are a couple of leads that have warmed as a direct result. Totally recommend Melanie and will be encouraging more who I know are in a similar situation to the one I was in.

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.

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.

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.

I have worked with Mel both as her client and as a collaborator on a project. Mel has a great strategic insight into exactly how Social Media fits into the bigger picture and helps develop a clear strategy and structure that aligns with the business aims. She keeps up with what's working on Social Media and what's not, and her ongoing support and assistance in evaluating the performance of any Campaigns is a vital part of this. She is my 'GoTo' person when it comes to Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn!

Working with Melanie on my LinkedIn strategy and review was an absolute pleasure! She provided a comprehensive and incredibly helpful and insightful analysis that truly exceeded my expectations. Her expertise and attention to detail were evident throughout the process, and I couldn't be happier with the results and the recommendations she has suggested for myself and Creative ID, my branding and marketing business.
Melanie's personable approach made working with her a breeze, and I highly recommend her services for anyone wanting to elevate their LinkedIn, or social media presence.

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.

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.

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.
