Led by Elyssa, a rural-based creative with over 8 years’ experience in social media strategy, we specialise in helping local businesses grow online with clarity, consistency, and confidence.

Does this sound like you?

🌾 You run a rural or regional business you love, but social media always ends up at the bottom of the to-do list.

🌾 You know showing up online is important, but you’re not sure what to post, or if it’s even working.

🌾 You’re tired of trying to follow “big city” marketing advice that just doesn’t make sense for your audience or lifestyle.

🌾 You want someone who gets rural life- the seasons, the slow internet, the real community connections, and can help you show up online authentically.

🌾 You’d love to feel proud of your social media again (or maybe for the first time ever).

If you're nodding along, you're in the right place.

Why Organic Social Media Matters.. and Why You Don’t Have to Do It Alone

In today’s world, social media isn’t optional , it’s where your community connects, discovers, and decides who to buy from. For rural and regional businesses, organic social media is a powerful way to build real relationships, showcase your values, and stay top-of-mind in a competitive market, without spending big on ads.

But here’s the truth: doing it well takes time, strategy, and consistency. That’s where a social media manager comes in.

When you outsource your social media to someone who gets rural business life, you’re not just getting pretty posts, you’re gaining:

  • A clear, consistent presence that reflects your brand and builds trust over time

  • Content that connects with your actual community — not just followers from far away

  • More time back in your week, so you can focus on the parts of your business only you can do

  • Support and strategy from someone who knows what works (and what’s a waste of time)

The result? You stop posting for the sake of it — and start showing up with purpose.
Your social media becomes something you’re proud of, not something that stresses you out.
