Hi, I'm Jodine.

I'm your social media cheerleader.

Social media.

You may love it, you may loath it but as a business owner, you can’t ignore it.

But it’s not easy, is it?

When you finally find the time to post something to your Facebook Business Page you sit there staring at your screen. You’re all out of ideas, you’re not quite sure if you’re doing it right and you don’t want to look silly. And when you do post, no one seems to take notice!

So what’s the point?

Social media can be a powerful platform to connect you with your ideal customers.

It can introduce people to your business, help them get to know you and decide whether or not you are right for them, keep you top of mind when they are ready to purchase and even help retain and nurture your existing customers. How cool is that?

Here’s where I come in. I’m your social media trainer, wing-woman, cheerleader and supporter - all rolled into one.

Together we can break down your social media marketing - the what, the when and the how. Imagine having your content planned out for the month, content you know is going to connect you with your ideal audience, and having the confidence and the knowledge on how to post it.

Since graduating university with a Bachelor of Business Studies I’ve been lucky enough to have travelled around the world and worked in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. I’ve been using social media for business since 2008 and boy, what a ride it’s been. I’ve seen major platform changes, the ‘next big thing’ in social media come and go but fundamentally, not much has changed. The heart of social media is connecting with people - something that many businesses forget.

If you’d like to chat with me on how we can simplify your social media marketing, check out how you can work with me.
