One social media marketing seat per group
Most small business owners know they should be posting more, and many would rather pay someone who does it well. In a FindaBiz group, a social media marketer is the only one of their trade in the room. So when a fellow member hears a client say “we never get round to our Instagram”, there is one obvious name to pass on.
Below you’ll find the social media marketing members already in the network and the groups where the seat is still open. The Lutterworth seat is taken, but several other groups are looking for a social media marketer now.
Social Media Marketings already in our network
Each group holds just one social media marketing, so these are the businesses who own that seat in their group.

Why the only seat matters for a social media marketer
Social media work is sold on trust. A business is handing over its voice, its photos and often its ad budget, so owners tend to pick someone recommended by a person they already trust. With one seat per trade, the other members get to know one social media marketer properly and can refer to that business with confidence. Nobody has to choose between two competing agencies at the same table.
Members also meet one to one between meetings. For a social media marketer, that is a chance to explain the work in detail: which platforms suit which clients, what a monthly package covers and what a good client looks like. The better members understand this, the better the introductions tend to be.
Trades that pass work to social media marketing
Web designers and website design businesses are perhaps the most natural partners. A new site goes live, and the client asks how to get people to look at it. An SEO consultant covers search and a copywriter writes the words. A marketing consultant may handle strategy but want someone else to run the day-to-day posting. Any of those conversations can end with an introduction.
Event management and training and events businesses need to sell tickets and fill rooms, and a lot of that is done through social posts and paid adverts. Print and promotional goods suppliers meet clients planning a launch or rebrand. Accountants, book keepers and business coaches see new and growing firms early on, often just as the owner realises nobody is looking after the company’s online presence.
Referrals run both ways. A social media marketer regularly meets clients who need a new website, better copy, printed material or a book keeper, and can send them to someone they trust in the same group.

The first visit is free, so you can meet the members and see how the group works before deciding anything.
