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.

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 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.

Melanie delivered a fantastic workshop on optimising email marketing. She took the time to really understand our goals and showed us practical ways to achieve them. We gained valuable insights on segmentation, boosting sales, and email marketing best practices that actually work. We’re excited to put everything we’ve learned into action, and I’d highly recommend Melanie to anyone looking to improve their email marketing strategy.

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!

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 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.
Lydia Offen, Stepping Stones Hypnotherapy
Mel is thorough in her explanation of social media and how to use it for your business. She will provide honest feedback about what to spend time on and tailor her advice to your individual needs.
Thank you for all your help, patience and kindness you've made something that can be quite dry and boring into something I now understand more and your advice will definitely help us grow our audience and presence on these platforms.
Laura, Belgravia Gallery
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.
