The Spark is back to kick off 2025 with a bang! 💥

This month’s newsletter is all about building real connections on social media (as James' catchphrase goes—“social media has the word social in it for a reason!”).

Inside, you’ll find:
💡 A breakdown of community management vs. outreach—and why both matter
🤖 A clever ManyChat hack to boost engagement (see how our client did it!)
🚦 Our traffic light system to streamline your DMs and comments
📰 Fresh social media updates you can’t miss
❌ Why “post and ghost” is the biggest no-no of 2025

Plus, a sneak peek at the exciting new product we’re launching for small businesses.

Grab your mug, and let’s get social: https://loom.ly/sjdG7xk

New year, new job ✨🤩 Congratulations to Rosie, who has been promoted to Social Media Content Creator.

After one year and eight months of Social Media Assistanting it was clear our TikTok creating, craft loving, marketing award finalist Rosie had the chops to move up and take on more responsibility.

Her work across multiple clients, including Toupret UK, One Acre Fund, and driving our own social media forward, has been exceptional, and as we move into 2025 we're looking forward to see her creative skills grow as she expands her clients list.

Congratulations Rosie and thank you for being part of our team. 😊

We capped 2024 off in style with many a party and celebration! 🎉

But don't worry, though we played hard, December was also filled with lots of hard work; planning strategy and preparing for 2025. 💪

Watch til the end for the silliest portraits you ever did see! 😅

To celebrate an amazing year, we went all out at our Christmas party. We started with a festive photoshoot, then unleashed our inner artists by painting portraits of each other, with absolutely hilarious results! 🎨

The night ended on a high note with a feast of East-Asian plant-based delights at Bonsai. Let’s just say our eyes were bigger than our stomachs, but every bite was worth it. What a fantastic way to wrap up the year! 🎊

P.S. Thinking of commissioning a custom portrait? We might be taking orders. 😜

We were finalists at the Construction Marketing Awards 🏆

Did we win? No! Did we have a great night? Yes!

And we were so proud of Rosie, Katie, Angela and the rest of the team for getting us through as finalists.

Having worked with Toupret UK for FIVE YEARS, it was about time we celebrated and reflected on all that we've achieved together, and a gala dinner at the Hilton was exactly what we needed.

Here's to next year and a future win! 🥂

We're joining our client, Royal College of Occupational Therapists, to celebrate 💚

Occupational therapy is an incredibly powerful practice in health and social care, and every day occupational therapists help people continue to do the things they love and need to do.

Whether cycling home from the allotment, swimming, exploring caves, having coffee with family, running or crafting with your cat, our occupations define us all.

We're so grateful to work with RCOT and to see OTs help people continue to live full lives no matter their position.

👻 October kept us spellbound here at Social Firefly! From enchanting the crowd at Brighton SEO (with our own James sharing insights on stage!) to stirring up magic at the Brighton Chamber Summit, it's been a month of thrills and chills.

We helped mark a decade of brilliance with Morevers’ 10th birthday and danced with the music of Brighton Philharmonic's 100th season. And that’s just a taste of the spooky, bustling month we've had! ✨
