2 and a half months juggling work and a newborn 💛
It's been a wild ride!
Little Thomas will be going to preschool from September (half day), and while my heart is sad not to have him here with me, I am really looking forward to having some dedicated focus time to get stuff done and grow my business again 💪
PLUS, we are starting up workshops again in September, which I am super excited for!
All jokes aside, I'm deeply grateful for this journey and to be able to have my baby home with me while still earning an income.

Hey business owners, losing a client is okay!
In December we found out that one of our larger clients would be canceling their services in February this year. I was honestly relieved, because they were a high-stress client and a lot of work, BUT I was concerned because we would need to replace that income.
By the first week of January we had made up the income with a wonderful new client who has been an absolute dream to work with!
So, here is your reminder that losing a client may sometimes be an actual gift.
When one door closes another opens - and it may lead to an even better place. 🙌
Let's talk about SOCIALSMITH'S VALUES... We have four values that we thought up as a team, and aspire to follow in everything we do.
🗨️ HONESTY & TRANSPARENCY
We say it like it is and we tell the truth – no hidden agendas, just open conversations. We won’t do work if we don’t believe in it.
🗨️ KINDNESS
The world is a tough place for business owners and individuals alike, we’re here to make it just a little bit easier.
🗨️ DETERMINATION
We are determined to succeed because our livelihood and reputation depend on it. Your success is our success.
🗨️ UNIQUENESS
You are unique, and so are we. We don’t do cookie-cutter marketing here, and we don’t copy and paste. Let’s create something truly unique together.
Enough about us, let's talk about you.
What values do you admire in business and what do you look for in businesses that you work with?
What is your 2024 vision for your business?
Are you on track to turning that vision into a reality?
Join us for an inspiring morning of dreaming, goal setting, and action! Come together with good food, good people, and good coffee and set the tone for your 2024 marketing.
Join us on the 18th of January at the beautiful Blos Cafe
Time: 09:00 - 12:00

As a marketing agency, we're here to help you get Black Friday ready.
Here are three tips to ensure you make the most of this shopping extravagansa:
◾Plan Ahead: Black Friday isn't a sprint; it's a marathon. Start planning your campaigns well in advance. Identify your key promotions, set your budget, and create a content calendar. This will give you a head start and keep you organised when the big day arrives.
◾ Optimise Your Website: Ensure your website can handle the surge in traffic. Check for any technical issues, optimise your site's speed, and make sure the user experience is seamless. You don't want potential customers to leave because of a slow or clunky site.
◾ Leverage Social Media: Get active on social media platforms where your audience hangs out. Build anticipation with teaser posts, run engaging contests, and share sneak peeks of your Black Friday deals.
Remember, Black Friday is a fantastic opportunity to boost your sales and engage with your customers. With careful planning and strategic marketing, you can make it a huge success.
