Watch me build a brand out of thin air👀

I created this feed in a bit of spare time and absolutely love how it turned out! So here’s my process🤍

At this point everyone has heard of the KitKat heist, and one thing has become clear… it’s marketing gold.

Whether a prolonged April Fools joke or a legitimate disaster, the outcome is exactly the same — genius.

Almost as soon as the statement was released by KITKAT responses came flooding in from countless other brands adding their two cents to the matter, and within hours the whole palaver had gone viral.

Sometimes the best marketing comes from the things you’d least expect. So next time something goes wrong at your business, take a breather, take a moment, and take a pic for Instagram, you never know where it might get you 👀🥂

I hate to be the one to tell you, but the algorithms have changed again, and if you want to grow your socials then you need to be IN . THE . KNOW.

Between Meta getting cancelled to LinkedIn boosting their AI game, it’s no wonder socials are hard to keep up with.

That’s why I’ve condensed every social media update you need to know, so you don’t have to spend hours trawling the internet to get your details👀

Don’t forget to save this so you’re in the know & follow along for more social media updates!

Hi, I’m Brianna, the founder of The Social Bee!🐝

I haven’t introduced myself on here in a good while, so I thought I’d pop on to reintroduce myself and say hi!🥰 I’d love it if we could all get to know each other better🤍

I’m 23 and live in Leeds, and I founded The Social Bee back in January 2023. I previously worked in retail and recruitment (😴🫠), but I have always had a passion for social media and content creation! In the last 3 years (time flies😳🥹) I’ve had the pleasure of working with some wonderful businesses, and now that my business is growing, I have space to work with even more amazing people!

Fun Facts About Me!🤍
🫧 I live with my partner and our little pooch, Reggie (a cheeky little Dachshund x Patterdale)🐶
🫧 I spend most of my free time watching true crime documentaries and YouTube creators, and if I’m not doing that, I will most definitely be found scrolling TikTok 🤣
🫧 I’ve always been creative, taking textiles and art at GCSE and studying Fine Art at A-Level, but I’m also a bit of a nerd and love to learn! I also took A-Levels in Law and English Language!📚
🫧 I love travelling, and have been able to visit some amazing places over the last two years (Norwegian Fjords being one of them), with more trips to come!
🫧 I rewatch the same shows over and over again🫠🤣

I’d love to learn a little bit more about you all and get to know the little community I’ve created over here 🥰 introduce yourselves in the comments!💬

Most brands don’t get noticed because their messaging is unclear, inconsistent, or their visuals don’t reinforce their identity. Your audience needs to immediately recognise who you are, what you offer, and why you’re different.

Clarity in messaging builds trust, and consistent visuals make your brand memorable. When your audience sees a cohesive message across posts, stories, and reels, they start remembering you and naturally engaging with your content.

Save this post for when planning your content strategy and share it with a biz babe who wants their brand to stand out online!

I see it all the time.

Someone’s posting, showing up, being consistent,
but it’s still not bringing in enquiries.

Most of the time it’s not that they’re doing a bad job.
It’s just that the content isn’t really leading anyone anywhere.

It might look nice, maybe get a few likes,
but no one is thinking “I want to work with her.”

And if it’s not obvious what you do or what the next step is, people won’t figure it out, they’ll just scroll.

It’s small tweaks that make the difference.

If you want me to take a look at your page and tell you what I’d change, DM me “AUDIT” and I’ll go through it with you.

I think “personal branding” gets overcomplicated quite often.

At its core, it’s simply how people perceive you when they come across your profile.

It’s the combination of what you post, what you talk about consistently, and how clearly you communicate what you do and who you help.

If someone lands on your page and isn’t immediately sure what you offer, it’s usually not a content issue—it’s a clarity issue.

A good place to start is choosing 2–3 key areas you want to be known for, and making sure the majority of your content aligns with those.
That’s what builds recognition and trust over time.

I work with businesses to refine this so their content not only looks good, but actually supports their growth and brings in enquiries.

If you’d like a second opinion on your page or content, DM me “CONTENT” and let’s chat☁️✨

Posting Reels doesn’t automatically get you clients, even on Instagram.

I see so many people stressing about likes, views, and going viral… and that’s not what actually makes money. 😅

If you want results, focus on the stuff that actually works:
✨ Growing your Instagram the smart way
✨ Marketing your business online
✨ Making offers people actually want
✨ Using a social media strategy that brings in clients

Stop stressing the algorithm and start getting Instagram clients for real.

So… are you posting just for the likes or actually trying to get clients? 👀

Most people think hiring a social media manager means paying someone to “post a few times a week”.

In reality, posting is the smallest part of the job.

What you’re actually paying for is strategy, clarity, and consistency — someone who understands how content connects to real business goals, not just vanity metrics.

From planning content that speaks to the right audience, to writing captions that convert, to analysing what’s working and adjusting accordingly… social media done properly should support your growth, not feel like a guessing game.

If you’re ready for your socials to work for your business instead of stressing you out, let’s talk.
