Frequently asked questions
Common questions before you hire.
Answers to the questions clients commonly ask before starting a brief.
Still deciding what you need?
Start with the outcome and the context you already have. A polished specification is not required.
What should I include in a social media brief?
Describe your business goal, audience, channels, current activity, available content, timing, and whether you need strategy, production, publishing, paid support, or a mix.
Do I need to be on every social media platform?
Not usually. A freelancer can help you focus on the platforms your customers use and a level of activity your team can realistically sustain.
Can a freelancer create the content as well as manage the account?
Often, but the scope varies. Include whether you need ideas, copy, design, photography, video, publishing, community management, or paid advertising so the freelancer can outline what they can support.
How long does it take to get started?
A short audit or campaign can begin once the brief, access, assets, and approvals are clear. Ongoing work may need time to establish the content plan and workflow.
How do I choose the right social media marketer?
Compare experience relevant to your audience and channels, the proposed approach, the content or production support included, timing, and pricing before requesting an introduction.
Ready to get moving?
Tell us what you want social media to achieve.
Start with the business goal, current situation, and help you need. You do not need a finished content calendar before creating your brief.
