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.

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.

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.

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.
Clare Griffiths, The Thrive Effect
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.

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.
Clare Jones, Brightlight Film
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.
