Social Media & Marketing Support for Small Businesses and Creatives in South West England & Wales

There was a time when my biggest marketing decision was whether to post a picture of the chair I’d been sanding for 4 hours or not. I was running a furniture restoration business, permanently covered in sawdust and clinging to Wi-Fi in a cold workshop. Glamorous, I know. But it taught me a lot - mainly that I loved the marketing side just as much as the making. Maybe more (don’t tell the sander).

Fast-forward a few years and I’m now offering freelance marketing and social media support for people who’d rather be making things than posting about them. If you're a maker, restorer, or small business owner in South West England or Wales, and you’re looking for social media management or marketing support, you’re in the right place here at Groove Socials.

Who I Help (Spoiler: It Might Be You)

My sweet spot is working with people who build, craft, restore, or those who find themselves floating towards more creative endeavours. Think:

• Furniture makers and restorers

• Joiners, woodworkers, cabinetmakers

• Blacksmiths, metalworkers

• Ceramicists, decorators, upholsterers

• Independent shops and creative small businesses

Basically, if you know your way around a lathe better than a LinkedIn post - I’m here for you.

Whether you're based in Stroud, Bristol, Bath, Exeter, Gloucester, Cardiff, or somewhere else in South West England or Wales, I work remotely and flexibly with small businesses who want to get seen online without turning into a full-time content creator.

What I Actually Do

I help you:

• Manage your social media without the drama

• Build a digital strategy that doesn’t involve burning sage or buying ads in a panic

• Post consistently and intentionally (no more ghosting your followers for six months)

• Figure out who your audience is and how to talk to them

• Stop dreading the phrase “engagement rate”

Whether you need someone to handle everything for you or just help you figure out what the heck to post next, I can step in at the level that works for you.

Why Me?

Aside from my winning personality and fondness for a good spreadsheet, I’ve also spent several years as a full-time Marketing Manager for a corporate business. I know my way around strategy, analytics, and making things look and sound professional (even when it’s just you and a sewing machine in a garden shed).

More importantly, I’ve run a business myself. I get it. You want your work to be seen, but you don’t want to spend your evenings battling Canva or writing captions that sound like a robot wrote them under duress.

That’s where I come in.
