Posting is good. Telling a story with your posts is better.

​The wonderful thing to remember about advertising is that a story isn’t just about words – a great story teaches us something about the world and ourselves. And great advertising tells a good story.

One of my favourite images was for a Christmas event for a past client, Bella Baskets. Sometimes you just have to look at the picture a little differently... and with a little humour!
Original post : Is it just me or does it look like elves are hiding among the flowers?

The power of consistency in your social media:
"Imagine you’re dating someone. You get three texts from them in one day and then nothing for five days and then two texts at totally random times. Even worse, when you respond, it takes them days to answer you. It’s not a great relationship, right? That’s the relationship you’re building with your audience. No one likes to feel like they’re being ghosted."
I kind of love that analogy. Read on for more on why being consistent in social media is so important!

Don't have the time to be consistent? That's what I'm here for. Contact me and we'll have a chat about what you want (if you know) and how I can help get you there.

We don't want to sound like your mum, but she's totally right – consistency in life is key. Our mini guide explains why consistency in social media matters.
