Social media marketing in Cairns

Social that sounds like you, and looks like it too.

We run social media for businesses in Cairns and across Australia: the planning, the shoots, the design, the captions and the paid ads on Facebook and Instagram. It's for businesses who know they should be posting properly and don't have the time, or who are posting a lot and getting very little back. You walk away with a feed that looks like the rest of your brand, ads that are measured on enquiries rather than likes, and one report a month that tells you what's working.

Posting more isn't the answer

Why we don't chase likes

Plenty of feeds are busy and still don't bring in work. The posts look like a different business every day. The ads are boosted at random. The numbers in the report are big and mean nothing.

We build social around the brand and the business. Every post should look like you and earn its place: build trust, show the work, or start a conversation that could lead to a sale. We measure what matters to you, which is usually enquiries, bookings and sales.

How it works

How we run your social

01

We set the direction

One session to agree on what social is for in your business, who you're trying to reach and what success looks like. That becomes a one-page plan.

02

We plan a month at a time

Each month you get a calendar of posts and ads to approve. You can change anything before it goes live.

03

We make and post it

We shoot, design, write and schedule. If you've got something happening that should be on social, tell us and we'll fit it in.

04

We report and adjust

At the end of each month you get a short report: what went out, what worked, what we'd stop, and what we'll try next.

Social media in Cairns

Social media for Cairns businesses

We plan, shoot and run social media for businesses in Cairns and across Far North Queensland, from our studio at 176 Newell St, Bungalow.

Being here means we can turn up and shoot. We'd rather film in your business, with your people, than pull something from a stock library. Local ads are targeted to the suburbs and towns where your customers actually live.

We also manage social for clients elsewhere in Australia, with shoots planned around a visit or filmed by a local crew.

FAQ

Social media questions people ask us

How much does social media management cost in Cairns?

Monthly social media management starts from [PRICE] per month, depending on the number of platforms, posts and shoots. Ad spend is separate and goes straight to Meta. We'll recommend a starting budget based on your goals.

Do you run Facebook and Instagram ads?

Yes. We plan, build and manage Meta ads, set up tracking so we can see what each ad actually brings in, and adjust the campaigns as the results come through.

How many posts a week do I need?

Fewer than you think. Two or three good posts a week, done consistently, will beat one a day done badly. We'll recommend a rhythm that suits your business and your budget.

Will I have to approve every post?

You approve the calendar each month, which takes most people ten minutes. After that it runs. If something time-sensitive comes up, we'll check with you first.

Do you create the photos and videos, or do I send them?

Both work. We can run regular content shoots, use what you send us, or mix the two. Real photos of your business always outperform stock, so we'll help you get them.

How long before social media brings in customers?

Organic social builds slowly over months. Paid ads can bring enquiries within weeks once the tracking is right. We'll set honest expectations at the start and report on the numbers every month.

Can you just train our staff to do it?

Yes. We run training sessions for in-house teams, and can set you up with templates and a content plan to follow.
