What I do

My three pillars
of visibility.

01

Social Media

Content is king. Posting social media content to advertise your services can be a daunting prospect to many business leaders. Public exposure can be off-putting when you’re showcasing your brand to the world, but this is why its use is more crucial than ever. Specified algorithms now push your content to exactly the customers it’s meant for, creating hyper-focused advertising that businesses previously would’ve paid top dollar for. You send me your ideas; I give your ideas an audience.

02

Branding

It’s all too often that I notice brand inconsistencies within local businesses. The most established, trustworthy services can often get left behind looking dated and unprofessional with mismatching logos, colour schemes and fonts, taking away from their otherwise trusted and respected identity. I offer frequent brand clinic Zoom calls to my clients so that we can establish branding that reflects their values, holding together across everything they send out into the world.

03

Website

Tying all this together is the website. I build fast, interactive, mobile-first sites built to load quickly and convert sales, not just as an information source for your presence to exist online. I can implement online booking systems and payment portals for ecommerce, maximising your business’s potential to onboard new customers with as little admin trouble as possible.

How it works

From first call to
first customer.

  1. 01

    Discover

    A proper conversation about your business, your customers, and what you want to get out of our partnership.

  2. 02

    Design

    Mood boards, drafts, and options, we will establish a brand kit in our first Zoom meeting and plan a brand direction long before anything gets built. You will also be granted access to a brand-new client portal, where you can create design mock-ups to be sent directly to me to action.

  3. 03

    Build

    Site, socials, or brand assets get built for real, with you checking in at every stage for review before anything goes live.

  4. 04

    Grow

    Launch, then keep going, content, tweaks and reporting so that you can continue maximising your brand growth long into the future.

The person behind it

Hi, I’m Freddie.

I’m a journalism student from the High Peak, Derbyshire studying in my final year at Newcastle University. Aged 18, I worked locally in digital marketing and couldn’t help but notice trusted local businesses get let down by dated websites and social media attempts that didn’t do enough to keep up with our rapidly changing business environment. FE Social is what I built to help. A focus on proper storytelling and design, at a price an independent business can justify.

I split my time between New Mills in the High Peak, home, and Newcastle, so I know both areas and I’m genuinely easy to reach from either. Either here or there, I’m always at the other end of a video call, or ideally, in person. Years of hands-on digital marketing experience sit behind this, but the reason people choose to work with me is simpler: no account managers, no hand-offs, just me on the other end of a phone call or a Zoom whenever something needs sorting.

Why “FE”?

In Jungian personality typology, Fe, Extraverted Feeling, is the function built around reading a room: sensing the mood, prioritising harmony, and making people feel comfortable and heard. Which is, handily, most of what good branding and social media for a local business actually comes down to, understanding your customers before you ever design for them.

(It’s also, conveniently, my actual initials. I wish I could take credit for planning that.)
