engineSocial media management in Southampton, made in our own studio
Feeds go quiet when nobody has anything new to post. As a social media agency in Southampton with photographers, film-makers, illustrators and writers in one studio, we make the posts as well as plan and publish them. When you launch something new, the people who photograph it are the people who post it.
You tell us who you want to reach and what you want social media to do for you, whether that's more bookings, more sales or more people who know your name. We agree a tone of voice that sounds like you on a good day and plan posts around your launches, events and busy seasons. Then we post, reply to comments and messages, and show you each month what worked.
What our social media management covers
- 01
Social media strategy
Who you're talking to, what you stand for and the one or two platforms worth your time.

Photos, film, illustration and captions, shot at your place or drawn in our studio.
- 03

- 04
Content marketing
Guides, stories and articles for your website and feeds that give people a reason to follow you and visit.
Which social media platforms are worth your time?
Two platforms run properly will do more for you than five run thinly, so we usually suggest starting with the one or two your customers use most.
- 01
Instagram
Usually the main one for anything people want to look at: places, products, food and the people behind them.
- 02
Facebook
Good for reaching local people, sharing events, news and opening times, and answering their messages.
- 03
TikTok
Short, lively videos. Worth it if you can show something happening, like a product being made or a busy night.
- 04
LinkedIn
For businesses that sell to other businesses, such as a supplier, a manufacturer or an events venue.
How we run your social media
Three days in Ayrshire, over 500 photographs
The Kirkmichael Arms is a Michelin-listed pub in Kirkmichael, Ayrshire, and the land around it is a big part of its story. So we spent three days out in it, from lobster fishing and foraging to whisky tastings and the pub's own kitchen.
We came back with more than 500 photographs for its website, social media and print. Posts using the new photos drew 30% more interactions than the pub's earlier posts.
“The Place Beyond’s professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail gave us a brand that truly reflects who we are. From illustrations and web work to photography of our dishes and the warmth of our Ayrshire pub, everything was carefully crafted and lifted our presence online. We’re thrilled with the outcome and would recommend them to anyone redefining their identity.”

Social media FAQs
What does a social media agency do?
A social media agency plans, makes and runs your social media accounts for you. That means deciding who you're talking to, making posts for each platform, scheduling them, replying to comments and messages, and looking each month at what's working. At Beyond, the photos, film, illustration and words are made by our own studio.
Will you come to us for the shoots?
Yes. Our photographers and film-makers come to you, with a shot list agreed in advance so every shot has a use. One shoot can supply photos for your feed, your website and your print. For example, we travelled to Manchester to photograph and film Zouk's restaurant.
Which platforms do you manage?
Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn and X. We'll suggest the ones your customers use, usually starting with one or two, and add more once those are going well. A brand people want to look at usually does best on Instagram, and a business that sells to other businesses on LinkedIn.
Are you a content marketing agency as well?
Yes. The studio that runs your social media also makes the photos, film, illustration and words behind it, and can turn them into guides, stories and articles for your website. Planning the two together means one set of photos and ideas serves both, and your website gives people a reason to visit from your feed.
How much does social media management cost?
It depends on how many platforms you need, how much new material we make each month and how often we shoot. We'll quote clearly up front, with no hidden costs or long contracts, so you know what you're paying for before we start. A free call is the quickest way to get a proper figure.
How long before social media starts working?
Social media builds gradually, as your following grows and your voice settles, and we'll be straight with you about that from the start. Each month we show you what moved, what we learned and what we're changing. If you need to reach new people sooner, paid social can put your best posts in front of them.
What's the difference between organic and paid social?
Organic social media is the following you build with posts people choose to follow, and it costs time and photos rather than ad money. Paid social puts money behind posts to reach new people faster, chosen by place, age and interests. We run both, and they work best planned together.
Can we talk to the team before we decide?
Yes. We start with a free call with the people who'd run your feed, so you can ask them anything before you decide. For photo and video shoots, we come to you.
