Platforms
Platform mix for a Newcastle business
We would rather run three accounts well than seven badly. Which three depends on your category and your city, not on which platforms are being talked about this year.
| Platform | Who it reaches | Where it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Consumer Newcastle and the night out | First platform for food, retail and events | |
| TikTok | Students and the nightlife economy | Strong second platform here |
| Family suburbs and the regional audience | Services, trades and community reach | |
| Professional services and the tech scene | First platform for B2B | |
| YouTube Shorts | Fans and visitors | Personality and discovery content |

Questions
Social media questions.
If yours is not here, send it. We answer these on the first call anyway.
How much does social media management cost in Newcastle?
7SEA retainers in Newcastle start at £1,000 a month, scoped after we review your accounts, your category and how much content already exists. You approve the number before anything starts, and the contract is rolling on 30 days with no lock-in.
How many social media platforms do you manage?
We work across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and Pinterest. Most brands run two or three of them properly rather than all six thinly, and which two or three depends on your category and where buyers in your city actually spend their time.
What type of content do you create?
Statics, carousels, reels and stories, mixed to suit the platform and the goal. Reels and short video do the discovery work, carousels explain and teach, statics carry offers and brand, and stories handle the day to day.
Do you use AI to design social media content?
Yes, as a production tool. The difference is the output: our AI work is finished to look like real photography and real design, not the obvious AI look most tools produce. You can review samples before committing.
We have no photos or raw content. Can you still run our social media?
Yes. Where raw content does not exist we build the calendar from AI-produced visuals and copyright-free stock, finished to match your brand. Once we have shoot material from you, it replaces that mix gradually rather than all at once.
What do we actually receive each month?
A content calendar approved before anything publishes, then 15 to 30 pieces of finished content depending on scope, scheduled and published, with comments and DMs handled daily and a monthly report on what moved.
What is your process for social media management in Newcastle?
Audit of your accounts and three local competitors, a one-page strategy, then a monthly calendar you approve before anything posts. Daily publishing and DM handling, and a plain written report each month.
How do local businesses get customers from Instagram in Newcastle?
By sounding like the Toon: warm, direct and proud of the place. The student and nightlife audiences book their evenings from their feeds, and the regional audience adopts local accounts that feel like their own.
Is social media marketing worth it for a small business in Newcastle?
Yes, because adoption here is durable. Newcastle backs businesses it considers its own for years, and the annually refreshing student market keeps supplying new customers who discover through social.
Which social media platform is best for a small business in Newcastle?
Instagram for consumer categories and the night-time economy, with TikTok a genuinely strong second given the student mass. Facebook carries the family suburbs and regional audience, LinkedIn the professional base.
