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.

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.

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 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.

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 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
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.
Vaishali Shah, Creative ID
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.

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.
