Do you still not have a strategy?

11/01/2024 By Helen

Created by AI. Image shows a woman in a mustard coloured shirt sat at a desk, writing a strategy and working on a tablet. She's surrounded by documents and books, with illustrations of planets and star systems behind her.

Maybe after last week’s post, you’ve written 6 blog posts. Whatever the strategy and plan was, you’ve just written them. Maybe you made a whole load of TikTok videos for the first time. Just because it feels like in 2024 that should be part of your strategy. That’s not really a strategy, is it? There’s […]

Shows a tabby cat leaping out of a bath full of water in a bathroom with lots of wood panelling. Light comes in from a window on the top right. There are a lot of green plants on the shelves.

It was simple, and it was free. For some things, they’re brilliant tools. But not infallible. If you’ve […]

Lack of budget isn’t the reason your content sucks

30/11/2023 By Helen

AI generated image of a bored looking audience in a cinema. Most of them are yawning or asleep, It's an illustration, the people are dressed in shades of blue and grey and the seats are orange.

Who’s winning the Christmas adverts this year? Well, for return on investment in terms of media coverage versus budget spend, you’d have to put Charlie’s Bar in Enniskillen pretty close to the top. In case you missed it this week, their Christmas “ad” on TikTok went live on Saturday. By Tuesday it had gained just […]

Beyond images: the hidden power of captions

23/11/2023 By Helen

A posted on a lamp post which says "Your story is not finished"

As small business owners, we’ve mastered the art of visual storytelling. With videos and images dominating social media, we often underestimate the role of words. Here’s some of the reasons why captions can make or break our social media presence. Search beyond Google Google stopped being the only player in search a long time ago. […]
