Social Media Management
Posting consistently is the first thing that slips when the business gets busy. We take it off your plate: the planning, posting, replying and reporting across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok and Google Business Profile.















What managed social actually changes
Social works when it’s consistent, answered and tied to what’s happening in your business.
It happens whether or not you’re busy
Most business accounts go quiet because the person responsible had a big week. A managed calendar keeps publishing regardless.
Someone’s actually watching the comments
Unanswered questions in your DMs are lost enquiries. We monitor and respond, and pass anything that needs you straight on.
A plan, not a scramble
Content is planned a month ahead around what’s actually happening in your business: the promotion, the event, the new hire.
Reporting you can act on
Reach and engagement are means, not ends. We report on what social produced: enquiries, bookings and foot traffic where we can measure it.
What’s included in your social media management
Everything it takes to keep your channels working, from the strategy to the replies.
Strategy and content pillars
We work out what’s worth saying over the next quarter and build content pillars around your promotions, events, people and seasons.
A monthly content calendar
Your posts are planned a month ahead and sent to you to approve. Nothing goes out without your sign-off.
Reels, carousels and Stories
Content made for how each platform works, from short vertical video to carousels, Stories and posts.
Scheduling and publishing
We schedule and publish everything across your platforms, so nothing depends on someone remembering on the day.
Community management
We watch your comments and messages, reply on your behalf and pass on anything that needs you.
Monthly reporting
A clear report each month on what your channels produced, and what we’re changing next month as a result.
Social that fills the room: The Loft Bar
The Loft Bar came to us before the venue even existed. No audience, no content and no ad budget.
745 organic followers before opening day
We built a content-first launch with street interviews, behind-the-scenes clips and photography, then kept the momentum going with event campaigns. Their watch party sold out all 240 seats within hours, with more than 200 people on the waitlist and a feature on national radio.

Social runs on new content. We pair your management with regular photo and video shoots, so your feed never runs dry.
Regular shoot days
We plan shoots around your calendar, so there’s always fresh photo and video of your team, products and events to post.
Made for each platform
Shot vertical and horizontal from the start, then cut into Reels, carousels, Stories and posts.
Ready for ads too
Organic posts that perform well are the best thing to put ad budget behind. We run Meta and Google ads too, so it’s all one plan.
See it in action
For The Loft Bar, regular video and photography built a following of 745 before the doors even opened.

Here’s what happens in your first month, and every month after.
Work out what’s worth saying
We start with what’s happening in your business over the next quarter, from promotions and events to hires and seasons, and build content pillars around it.
Plan and approve
We build your calendar a month ahead and send it to you to approve. Nothing goes out without your sign-off.
Publish and respond
Once it’s approved, we schedule and publish it, then watch your comments and messages and answer them.
Measure and adjust
Each month we report on what your channels produced and adjust the plan, dropping what isn’t landing and doing more of what is.
What you can count on
No surprises in your feed, and no guesswork about what it’s doing for you.
You approve every post
Your calendar comes to you a month ahead. No post goes out without your sign-off, and if something isn’t right, we change it.
An in-house team in Christchurch
Your social is run by our own team, not offshore freelancers. The same people who shoot your content and run your ads.
Reporting on real results
We judge success on enquiries, bookings and foot traffic, not just likes. We’ll tell you if followers are the only number going up.
Organic and paid working together
Organic builds trust with people who already know you. Ads reach the ones who don’t. We can run both as one plan.
See our Meta advertising →Social media for your industry
We know what works on social in the industries we specialise in. See how we market businesses like yours.
Trades and construction
Show your team on the tools and your finished jobs, so locals know who to call before they need you.
Trades and construction marketing →Aesthetics and skin clinics
Treatment, team and clinic content that builds trust and fills your book, made with advertising rules for your industry in mind.
Aesthetics marketing →Hospitality and restaurants
Food, drinks, events and atmosphere that get locals through the door, like The Loft Bar’s sold-out watch party.
Hospitality marketing →Automotive
Workshop, team and tips content that keeps you front of mind between services, so you’re the name people know when something goes wrong.

What does social media management actually include?
Planning, publishing, replying and reporting.
In practice that’s a content calendar approved a month ahead, consistent posting across your chosen platforms, active community management, and a monthly report on reach, engagement and enquiries.
Which platforms do you manage?
Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok and Google Business Profile.
We’ll recommend the ones your customers actually use. One platform done properly beats four done badly.
Do I see posts before they go live?
Yes, always.
We send your calendar a month ahead for you to approve. No post goes out without your sign-off.
How is this different from your content creation service?
Management is the ongoing running of your channels: planning, posting, replying and reporting.
Content creation is the production of the photos and video that get posted. Most clients use both, but they’re separate services. If nothing gets posted, you need management. If what gets posted doesn’t look good enough, you need content creation.
How much does social media management cost in New Zealand?
It depends on how many platforms you’re on, how much content you need and how much community management is involved.
We scope it after a free strategy chat, so you get a real number rather than a range that means nothing.
How often should my business post on social media?
Consistency matters more than frequency.
Three good posts a week that go out reliably will outperform daily posting that stops after a month. For most businesses, three to five posts a week across one or two platforms is realistic and sustainable.
Do I need to be on every platform?
No, and trying to be is the most common mistake we see.
It depends on where your customers actually are: usually Instagram and Facebook for hospitality and retail, and LinkedIn for B2B and professional services.
Does organic social still work, or do I need to pay?
Organic reach has fallen a long way, so it’s worth being clear about what organic does now.
It’s what people find when they check you out, and it builds credibility over time. Paid gets you in front of people who don’t already follow you. Most businesses need both, and organic content that performs well is usually the best thing to put budget behind.
How do you measure whether it’s working?
We judge success on what social produced.
We report on reach and engagement because they tell us what’s landing, but success means enquiries, bookings, event attendance and foot traffic where we can measure it. Follower count is the least useful number in social media, and we’ll tell you if it’s the only one going up.
What happens if we don’t like the content?
We change it.
You approve the calendar before anything goes out. If we’re consistently missing your voice, that’s a briefing problem and we’ll fix it at the strategy level rather than post by post.
Can you also create the photos and videos?
Yes.
Our in-house team shoots photo and video every month for many of our social clients, so your feed always has fresh content to post.
Will I own my social accounts?
Yes.
Your pages, profiles and ad accounts stay in your name, and you keep full admin access the whole time. We’re added as a partner or manager, so if you ever move on, everything stays with you.
Can you take over our existing accounts, or work with our in-house team?
Yes, either way works.
We can pick up your existing pages and keep their followers and history, or work alongside your team, taking on the planning, content or community management while they handle the rest.
How long until we see results?
Consistency shows quickly, and results build over time.
Engagement usually picks up within the first couple of months of regular posting. Enquiries and bookings from organic social typically build over three to six months, and faster when it’s paired with ads.
Should we boost posts or run proper campaigns?
Proper campaigns, in most cases.
Boosting is quick, but it has limited targeting and optimisation. A campaign built in Meta Ads Manager lets you choose the goal, test different ads and track enquiries and sales. We often take your best-performing organic posts and run them as ads.
How do we get started?

We’ll talk through your goals and current channels, then send you a plan and a quote.
