Every three months, we zoom out.

When a client has social, Meta Ads, Google Ads and EDMs all running at once, it's easy to end up judging each one in isolation. Individually they can all look fine. Together they can still be pulling in slightly different directions.

Our quarterly meetings are where we put the whole thing back on the table.
First, what actually happened. What performed, what didn't, where the budget worked hardest, and what the numbers are pointing us toward next.

Then we talk about the business rather than the marketing. What's coming up, what needs a push, whether priorities have shifted since we last spoke, and whether there's something worth moving quickly on.

From there we map the next three months and decide where time, content and ad budget will do the most work.

Worth being clear about what this meeting is for: making what we're already running work harder. Nobody leaves it holding a proposal for something extra.

The shoot list vs the shoot ๐Ÿ‘€

Itโ€™s one thing to sit behind a screen planning the shots, angles, team photos, props and content we think will bring an idea to life and another to be the brain behind the lens, bringing it all together on shoot day.

A good shoot list gives the photographer direction and makes sure we walk away with the content we actually need, but thereโ€™s always room for a little creativity, spontaneity and those shots you couldnโ€™t have planned if you tried.

From idea โ†’ shoot list โ†’ gallery full of content.

We LOVE to see it Ingrid Coles Photography

Automations are everywhere these days, and we LOVE them. They streamline processes, save time and keep things moving behind the scenes, especially when youโ€™re running digital ads.

Buuuut thereโ€™s a catch๐Ÿ‘€

Automation doesnโ€™t mean set and forget. Things glitch, connections drop and platforms will often change without warning. Sometimes an automation that was working perfectly suddenly becomes an auto-miss.

Thatโ€™s why setting up the automation is just step one and why we regularly check that everything is still connected, firing when it should and actually doing the job we set it up to do.

Because an automation only saves you time when itโ€™s actually working.
Automate it? Absolutely. Forget about it? Absolutely not.

How much of your content strategy is based on how YOU use social media?
It happens more than people realise. You watch with the sound off, so you assume everyone does. You find subtitles annoying, so you leave them off.

The better question is whether you're actually your business's target market. Most of the time, you're not.

Someone watching Reels on the train with the sound down needs on-screen captions to get anything out of your video. That same person might behave completely differently on TikTok, where the platform generates subtitles anyway and burnt-in captions just clutter the frame.

We've changed our own approach off the back of this. On TikTok we're testing cleaner videos with no added captions and letting the auto subtitles do the work. On Instagram Reels we're still adding captions directly to the video.

Same content, different platforms just a different call.

Whatโ€™s been happening at Linchpin this week? A little bit of everything. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ’ป

Client meetings, deliverables heading out the door, proposals in the works, new ad campaigns being built and website briefs getting the wheels turning.
Social. Ads. Web. Strategy. Repeat.

Itโ€™s been one of those weeks where the to do list is LONG, the tabs are multiplying and the team is well and truly in get it done mode and we have loved every second of it!

This brand did something so different we couldnโ€™t not talk about it. Weโ€™ve worked on plenty of brands where weโ€™ve carefully considered the perfect colour palette, typography, spacing, imagery, graphic elementsโ€ฆ the whole branding toolkit.

1000skis basically said: nah, weโ€™ll just take ONE ridiculously bright colour and it really works.

๐Ÿ”ด The skis are that colour.
๐Ÿ”ด The social media is that colour.
๐Ÿ”ด The logo and profile picture are that colour.
๐Ÿ”ด The brand recognition is so strong you could probably spot it from space.

Itโ€™s bold, ridiculously simple and almost impossible to miss and in a world where every brand is fighting for attention that is kind of the whole point. Could every business do this and have it be a success? Absolutely not, but we love seeing brands throw out the rulebook and do something completely different.

Whatโ€™s your take, too simple or branding genius?

July called and the result are in! Itโ€™s another month of getting our clients seen, clicked and in front of the right people. Letโ€™s get into the July Wins ๐Ÿ‘‡

No ad spend needed here. 1.4K organic content views purely from putting engaging, relevant content in front of the community. Organic social media still has plenty of fight left in it. ๐Ÿ‘€

โš–๏ธ ๐‹๐š๐ฐ ๐…๐ข๐ซ๐ฆ
29 lead form submissions, but weโ€™re not interested in leads for the sake of chasing a big number. Strategic targeting and qualification meant these enquiries matched the type of client this firm actually wants to speak to. Quality over quantity.

If it could be clicked, people were clicking it. A 39% increase in content interactions means more likes, comments, shares and engagement with the content weโ€™re putting out there.

An 84% increase in views means a whole lot more opportunities to get this business in front of potential customers. Because before someone can click, enquire or switch providers, they need to know you exist.

Getting more for your money is exactly where we want to be. These Google Ads generated over 700 clicks and 93 phone calls in a single month, all while spending less! Getting more people off Google and on to the phone asking about their next car.

July is done and dusted. Now weโ€™re onto making Augustโ€™s numbers even harder to beat.

Getting Meta partner access requests lately? So are we, and so are our clients.

The email is genuinely from Meta. That's what makes these tricky. Anyone can find your Meta Partner ID, send a real access request, and name their ad account something that looks perfectly normal.

Approve it and you've potentially given a stranger permission to run ads for other brands on your account and your spend.

Our rule: if you don't know exactly who is asking, don't approve it. Check with your marketing team or agency first. "Did you send this?" is a much easier conversation than an unexpected bill. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Suspiciously professional can still be suspicious.

How many tabs do you have open just to work out how your marketing is performing? For most businesses, the answer is too many.

Google Analytics. Meta Ads. Google Ads. Email marketing. Booking systems. Sales software. CRM. They all tell part of the story, but they rarely tell it together. Before you know it, someone is spending hours exporting spreadsheets, matching numbers, and building reports that are already out of date by the time they're finished.

That's exactly why we build centralised reporting systems for our clients.

Instead of jumping between platforms, a centralised system pulls your marketing and business data into one place. One dashboard, automatically updated, so you spend less time chasing numbers and more time making decisions.

Good reporting means understanding what's working, spotting opportunities, and knowing exactly where your next marketing dollar should go.

Fewer tabs, more time for strategy. That's a win in our books.

Not all leads are created equal. A high number of leads looks great on a report, but the real question is: how many of them are actually the right fit?

Take these two campaigns:
๐Ÿ”น For one client, conversions are measured as phone calls. That's a great result, but without a CRM there's no way to know how many of those calls became genuine opportunities.

๐Ÿ”น For another client, we built a detailed lead form that qualifies people before they hit submit. The cost per lead is higher, but those enquiries arrive with stronger intent and are far more likely to turn into valuable customers.

That's why we don't just chase the lowest cost per lead or the biggest numbers. We build campaigns around your business, your sales process, and the systems you have in place.
Sometimes success is more leads but sometimes it's more qualified leads.

Our goal is always the same, helping you generate enquiries that have the best chance of becoming paying customers.
