The best thing about running a social media agency is that we get to work on brilliant projects with fantastic clients – and every day is different! Ready to go behind-the-scenes and spend the day with me?
No 4am “founder morning routines” here! Instead, I like a chilled start to the day, getting ready while listening to an audio book. I’m currently enjoying Alchemy: The Surprising Power of Ideas that Don’t Make Sense, written and read by legendary adman Rory Sutherland. It’s packed with interesting insights and inspirational anecdotes, and I’d highly recommend it!
@8am First things first 🧋💻
My workday always starts with a coffee and my laptop - looking through emails and client WhatsApp messages, checking all social channels and reviewing campaign metrics. From there, I finalise my schedule and to do list for the day ahead.
Then it’s out for a quick walk with our pomsky Luna, before jumping in the car and heading to the office.
@9.30am Second coffee of the day ☕ 🖥️
After arriving at the office and checking in with the team, it’s time to catch up with clients (and drink a second coffee!) At the start of every month, we produce detailed social media analytic reports, then spend time meeting with customers to review the numbers while planning for the upcoming month. It’s a great opportunity to catch up and check in, resulting in super relevant (and continuously improving) social media campaigns.
@12.30pm Lunchtime 🥣 🍫
After an in-person meeting and a Zoom meeting, it’s time for lunch! I am guilty of eating at my desk, so as much as I’d love to include some fresh air and a walk along the iconic Newcastle/Gateshead Quayside here, it’s more emails and porridge instead. There’s always time for a treat from the OCOCO snack selection though – we keep a variety of chocolate and sweets in-house for all eventualities!
@1pm Let’s get social 💡🤝
Ready to head out to an appointment with a potential client! It’s great to learn more about a business, and how we may be able to help them achieve more from their social media marketing. We’re proud to work with clients from a wide range of sectors, across the UK and beyond, but this meeting is with a firm just across the Tyne. It’s a sunny day and the perfect opportunity to get my steps in over the Millenium Bridge, so it looks like I managed some fresh air after all!
@3pm Time to talk 🎙️💬
Back at the office and it’s time for one of my favourite things – recording a podcast! I really enjoy speaking on all things social media, whether that’s in-person or online, and it’s always an honour to be asked to deliver a seminar, key note, workshop or interview. Today I’m recording via Zoom for a Social Media News Round Up with one of my favourite marketers, the incredible Pascal Fintoni. Catch up on the episode here.
@4pm Bright ideas 📈 🎨
Recording complete, it’s yet more emails and another check in with the team to review social media content, campaign planning, and design work. I am constantly blown away by the results generated for clients, and quality of work produced in the office. I’m lucky to get to work with such great people!
@6pm Home time! 🐺 🥁
After a busy day at the office, the soundtrack to my commute home playlist of songs with good (but easy) beats because I’ve just started to learn how to play the drums. Any recommendations are very welcome! Then it’s another Luna walk, and usually the latest viral Netflix documentary to relax.
