Hire a Dedicated Social Media Manager
Social media management done well requires strategic thinking, content production, scheduling discipline, and genuine community engagement — all running in parallel. Our dedicated social media managers are not virtual assistants posting on a calendar. They understand platform algorithm differences, develop platform-native content strategies, manage community interactions with brand voice consistency, track performance trends, and adjust strategy monthly based on what is working. They coordinate with graphic designers and video editors where needed and flag opportunities for paid amplification.

Where this role adds value
Industries we serve with this role
A dedicated Social Media Manager delivers measurable impact across 6 industries. Click any card to learn how we work within that sector.
E-Commerce
Online retail businesses selling physical or digital products — from single-brand Shopify stores to multi-vendor marketplaces and D2C brands scaling to 7+ figures.
- Cart abandonment rates above 60% with no structured recovery workflow
- Inventory data spread across Shopify, spreadsheets, and warehouse software
Education
Private schools, tutoring companies, online course creators, EdTech startups, and vocational training providers — building and scaling digital learning experiences and administrative systems.
- Student enrolment and onboarding managed through email and spreadsheets
- Course content delivered through generic platforms that do not match the brand
Real Estate
Property agencies, property management companies, developers, buyers' agents, and PropTech startups — digitising property listings, lead management, and portfolio administration.
- Lead management spread across email, portal notifications, and sticky notes
- Property listings manually duplicated across portals (REA, Domain, website)
Fitness & Wellness
Gyms, personal trainers, yoga studios, wellness centres, online fitness coaches, and health app startups — managing memberships, bookings, and digital content delivery.
- Class bookings managed through WhatsApp or phone — confirmation chaotic
- Membership billing on manual cycles with high failed payment rates
Restaurants & Hospitality
Independent restaurants, cafe groups, franchise operators, catering companies, and food delivery brands — managing orders, reservations, POS operations, and digital marketing.
- POS system fees per terminal eating into already-thin margins
- Online ordering platform commissions (15–30%) eliminating delivery profitability
Cleaning & Facilities
Residential cleaning companies, commercial cleaning contractors, facilities management firms, and cleaning franchise operators — managing scheduling, staff, quotes, and recurring client relationships.
- Job scheduling done through WhatsApp or phone with frequent miscommunication
- Quote generation manual and slow — losing jobs to faster competitors
Common questions
Everything you need to know before hiring a dedicated Social Media Manager.
You hire a specific person — not a rotating pool. We match you with a vetted professional based on your stack, domain, and working style, you conduct a technical interview before committing, and the person is assigned exclusively to your project for the duration of the engagement. They work within your timezone overlap window, join your team's communication tools (Slack, Teams), and participate in your sprint ceremonies. We handle HR, payroll, equipment, and benefits on our side. You direct the work.
Yes — always. We present 1–2 matched candidates with their CV, portfolio, and a summary of why we think they fit your requirements. You interview them before any engagement begins. If the first candidates are not right, we keep searching at no extra cost until you find someone you want to work with.
It depends on your audience. B2B: LinkedIn is non-negotiable, with X and YouTube as secondary. B2C / consumer: Instagram and TikTok for visual/short-form, Facebook for local community and older demographics. We recommend starting with 2 platforms you can execute consistently rather than spreading across 5 at low quality.
Our starter package covers 16 posts per month across 2 platforms (8 posts each). Our growth package covers 24 posts across 3 platforms. Frequency is balanced against quality — we do not pad calendars with low-effort content to hit a number.
Pakistan Standard Time (PKT) is UTC+5. This creates a 3–5 hour overlap with UK/EU mornings, a 4–6 hour overlap with Middle East business hours, and an async-friendly relationship with US/Canada (with a 2–4 hour overlap possible with early starts). We set timezone expectations upfront and ensure a minimum 3-hour synchronous overlap per day with your team.
