I was struggling with my social media, as I knew I should be using it, but not how to. Mel provided a thorough and in-depth review of my existing social media profiles to find where I was lacking. She gave me focused training on each of the platforms and helped me to understand what I should be targeting. Mel also helped with building a content plan and content ideas. I now feel much more in control and less anxious about this area of my business. Mel has a relaxed manner and explains things thoroughly; I'd absolutely recommend her to anyone that needs a bit of support with Social Media.

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.
Rachel Laflin, Nutribalance
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
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.

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.
Mark Gregson, Founder, Impact Working
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
I've been using a mailing list for a while, which had grown organically, but wasn't being very effective. Melanie and the Sussex Social reviewed everything for me, made everything much more "neat and tidy" behind the scenes, so nothing fell between the cracks and then gave me lots of helpful and actionable tips at things I could do to make sure I was getting the right people on the list and it was attracting new clients. She went above and beyond to help me implement the actions, and I'm really pleased with the work she did. She made sure she understood my business and goals and was very responsive and easy to work with
