Social media management agency in Chorley

If you’ve been searching for a social media management agency in Chorley, you’re probably looking for someone who can help you grow your online presence, reach more customers, and turn likes into leads.

Buuuut hang fire. Because you might not need a big agency at all!

I’m Sam, a social media freelancer based in Clayton Le Woods (just up from Chorley in Lancashire), specialising in strategy-first social media management. Rather than diving straight into posting, I take a step back to create a clear plan first. Because that’s where the real results come from.

Why strategy comes first

Too many businesses jump straight into posting without knowing why they’re doing it. I take a different approach. Before we even start creating content, I work closely with you to:

• Identify which platforms will genuinely move the needle for your business
• Define what “success” actually looks like for you (not just vanity metrics!)
• Build a content strategy designed to drive real business value and most importantly, revenue!

Doing things this way saves you both time and money. What’s not to like?

Freelancer vs agency — what’s the difference?

If you’re comparing a freelancer to a social media agency in Chorley, here’s what to keep in mind:

Factor	Freelancer (like me!)	Traditional Agency
Communication	You work directly with me. No account managers or middle layers.	You often go through multiple people before reaching the person actually doing the work.
Cost	Lower overheads = better value for money.	Agency fees can stack up quickly due to staffing and admin costs.
Flexibility	I can adapt fast to what your business needs.	Agencies can be slower due to internal processes and hierarchies.
Personal touch	I get to know you and your brand.	Agencies juggle multiple clients, so you might not always get the attention you deserve.

In short, working with a freelancer means you get senior-level expertise, direct communication, and strategic thinking. Without paying agency prices!

Brands I’ve worked with

I’ve been lucky enough to partner with some brilliant businesses, both local and national, including:

• Chemist4U – the UK’s leading online pharmacy
• Laughtercise – the country’s top team-building provider
• GIFT+HOME – a boutique retailer based in Altrincham
• Full Spectrum Roasters – an independent coffee roaster with a big personality

Before going freelance, I spent years in the agency world myself. I led the social media team at Jam in Manchester, working with clients like Constance Hotels & Resorts and Perfect Pet Insurance. Before that, I was part of Weber Shandwick, where I supported global brands including IBM, Nestlé and Princes.

My first agency experience was at WPR in Birmingham, where I managed the Greene King portfolio — think Hungry Horse, Wacky Warehouse, and Chef & Brewer, alongside Benchmarx Kitchens and REHAU.

So yes, I know the agency world inside out — and I also know exactly where freelancers can do it better.

A bit about me

I graduated from the University of Leeds in 2016 with a degree in Broadcast Journalism. Before moving into social, I cut my teeth in radio — starting as the work experience lad and working my way up to producing breakfast shows for Capital FM and Bauer in Birmingham.

That storytelling instinct has stuck with me. It’s what drives the social strategies I create today — because great social media still comes down to telling the right stories, to the right people, in the right way.
