Social Media Strategy in Durham
Deciding which platforms a Durham business should be on and what it is trying to achieve there, before anyone commits to posting weekly forever. Most businesses are spread across five accounts because each seemed necessary at the time, and none of them is doing measurable work.
Why this comes up
The problem
Social gets adopted platform by platform without a decision underneath it. Nobody can say what any account is for, so nothing can be judged and everything continues indefinitely.
What you get
What we deliver
- An audit of existing accounts, including which to keep and which to close
- Platform selection based on where your buyers actually are, not on reach figures
- A defined objective per platform — awareness, enquiries, recruitment or support
- Content pillars, so planning is not a blank page every week
- A realistic posting cadence matched to the resource you genuinely have
- Measurement that ties to business outcomes rather than followers and likes

Working in Durham
North East
Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

Social Media Strategy in Durham — common questions
- Should we be on every platform?
- Almost certainly not. Two done properly beats five done thinly, and closing an account is a legitimate outcome of this work. A dormant profile with three posts from 2022 does more harm than no profile at all.
- Does social media actually generate business for us?
- It depends entirely on your market, and the honest answer sometimes is not directly. For many B2B firms it supports credibility and recruitment rather than producing enquiries. Knowing which job it is doing is what makes the investment judgeable.
- How is this different from social media management?
- This decides what to do and why; management is the ongoing doing. Buying management without a strategy means paying someone to post consistently towards no particular end, which is the most common way social budgets get wasted.
- How often should we post?
- As often as you can sustain at quality, which is usually less than agencies recommend. A business that posts twice a week for a year outperforms one that posts daily for a month and stops.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
