Social Media Growth Partner

I run a fast-growing packaged food brand and I’m ready to hand over day-to-day social media management to an agency that lives and breathes short-form content. Instagram is the top growth priority, yet I also want consistent, platform-specific output on TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube Shorts. The end goal is crystal-clear: turn viewers into customers. Here’s what I need you to own from start to finish: • Content strategy that maps directly to reach, engagement, and—above all—sales conversions • A daily posting schedule, planned and queued in advance, with nothing blindly reposted; every clip should feel native to its destination • Short-form video production and editing that leans on emotional, inspiring storytelling—strong hooks, punchy pacing, on-screen captions, trending audio, the works • Captions, hashtags, and calls-to-action crafted for each platform’s voice • Ongoing trend research so we’re never late to the conversation • Basic performance tracking and a concise report each month highlighting wins, learnings, and next steps Raw product shots, recipe footage, and brand assets are ready on our side; you’ll transform them into scroll-stopping Reels, TikToks, and Shorts using the editing tools you prefer (CapCut, Premiere Pro, Final Cut—your call). If your team has a proven track record of scaling food, lifestyle, or DTC brands with organic reach and emotionally resonant storytelling, I’d love to see your work and discuss how we can grow together.

Website Rebrand Figma or HTML Mockups

Website rebrand project for a professional property management firm. We need execution of website mockups based on an existing brand and messaging system. Your role is to apply the provided brand, structure, and tone, not to reinterpret or redesign them. You will deliver either high-fidelity Figma mockups or static HTML/CSS mockups.

Google ads for lead Generation

Hi All, I run a domestic cleaning business based in Essex. I’m looking for an experienced Google Ads freelancer who can review and optimise my account for efficient, high-quality lead generation. I would appreciate professional guidance on the best campaign structure, keyword strategy, conversion tracking, and ongoing optimisation, ensuring spend is focused on high-intent searches and wasted budget is minimised. The goal is a lean, well-managed Search campaign that reliably generates local leads and can be scaled once performance is proven. Here are some of the problems I was facing before; Campaign structure was unfocused, with broad and low-intent keywords mixed in with high-intent local searches. Search terms and negative keywords were not properly managed, causing wasted spend on irrelevant traffic (jobs, commercial cleaning, general research). Too much budget was allocated to non-Search / cross-network traffic, while core Search campaigns had low impression share. Conversion tracking was unclear or unreliable, making optimisation decisions questionable. No leads was really being generated and my daily spend was £20 per day. I currently rank number 1&2 on google organically across my service area.
