Hashtags on Instagram have officially entered their era of accountability

In 2026, Instagram now limits posts and Reels to just 5 hashtags, and honestly? This was a long time coming. The days of dumping 30 random tags into your caption and hoping for the best are over.

But before you panic… hashtags aren’t dead.
They’ve just been repositioned.

Instead of acting as a growth hack, hashtags now work as context signals; helping Instagram understand what your content is about, not who to push it to. The real drivers of reach today are engagement signals: watch time, saves, shares, comments and relevance to user behaviour.

What does that mean for your strategy?
👉 Use fewer, smarter hashtags
👉 Write captions with search in mind
👉 Focus on content that people actually want to interact with

Think of hashtags as the supporting cast, not the main character.

If your Instagram strategy hasn’t evolved with the platform, now’s the time. Less spam. More intention. Better results.

Save this post for later 🔖 and share it with someone still clinging to their 30-hashtag block 😉

Posting content without a strategy is like fishing without bait. You might get lucky… but probably not!

In 2026, timing still matters. Here’s a quick guide:
◾ Instagram → mid-day & evenings
◾ Facebook → classic 9–5 crowd
◾ LinkedIn → midweek insights
◾ TikTok → fun times after work
◾ YouTube → afternoons & weekend viewers
◾ X → active real-time conversations

Use this timing + the right content type (short video, carousel, thread) = more eyeballs, more engagement, more impact.
When in doubt, check your analytics — your audience often tells you exactly when they want to see you.

LinkedIn in 2026 isn’t just a networking site — it’s the place to build real authenticity and thought leadership online.

Show up with genuine insights, publish consistently and use diverse formats like short video, articles and carousels to connect meaningfully with your audience.
Engage actively (don’t just post… respond!), lean into community discussions, and link your content back to your business goals to drive traffic and real opportunities.

In a world of generic posts, authenticity and value-led thinking will set you apart.

Three weeks holiday, done. ✔️

I just wanted to show appreciation for all of my amazing clients that helped to make time off possible for me.

The world of social media is turbo-charged; busy as its best, and chaos at its most challenging so getting time away to relax can be a juggling act.

It’s 10 years now that I’ve been freelance and I’m at a place in my career where I’m surrounded by clients that are exciting to work with and a joy to create content for.

Now let’s get stuck in for the pre-Christmas madness 🎄

(Yes, I spent my holiday riding rollercoasters like any sane adult)

Just about recovering from a STAGGERING three days in Modena & Bologna with a client and their customers that helps them showcase the manufacturing of products they import and use.

Was truly blown away by their hospitality, and enjoyed meeting some very talented design professionals during an inspiring and hilarious time away.

A really unique experience for me to be able to photograph and capture videos from the factory visits, city & tours and generous Italian dining 🇮🇹

Took some time off last week to go and celebrate my nephew’s 18th birthday! Since when do I have an adult nephew?!

Appreciated the time off to spend with my sisters in Budapest, such a lively city with so much to learn.

What a difference 10 years makes 🤯

This’ll be my tenth year celebrating as a freelance social media manager.

Ten years of working with some really fun clients, some challenging clients, and some clients that push your skills.

I’m nowhere near the person I was ten years ago. Social media isn’t what social media was ten years ago. We’ve both evolved to become better, smarter and more refined (wrinkles and all).

This , I want to shout out to all the amazing people that have shaped my career, that have challenged me in a positive way and that continue to do amazing things in the world.

Productivity isn’t just about having the perfect to-do list or the latest project management app; it’s also about who you work with.

Having an organised client who actually gets your workflow? Game changer.

When a client is clear with briefs, meets deadlines, and respects your process, everything flows smoother. There’s no endless back-and-forth, no chasing for approvals, no last-minute surprises that make you question your life choices.

And when a client really embraces working with a freelancer; trusting your expertise, valuing your time, and treating you as a true part of the team? That’s when the magic happens. Because when you find those dream clients, the ones who make work enjoyable rather than a daily battle, you will bend over backwards for them. You’ll go the extra mile, not because you have to, but because you actually want to.

WHAT A DAY! 😮‍💨

Great to get invited to document the day at for a client. A great way to test some of my new kit from with my audio setup in a busy environment.

All done and I’m ready to drop 🥵

There’s more to life than getting paid for every hour you work.

The past few years, I’ve been volunteering my expertise to our village community, helping to promote OAP services such as social lunches, volunteer transport and activities to prevent isolation.

We’re known as the village with the highest concentration of OAPs in Shropshire, and for good reason. There’s so much going on here.

There’s nothing better than taking a step back and enjoying an afternoon with a room full of grandpas and grandmas who all have the most amazing stories. It makes me very happy to be a part of this community and help in ways that I can.
