I’m Ruth, a freelance marketing coach in Bristol. I help small business owners and solopreneurs take advantage of their social media and digital marketing and make sales.
Social mediamarketing
Social media marketing shouldn’t be a struggle or a time-sink. With my help, you’ll have the know-how to work smarter, not harder, in your business. Isn’t it time you had a better understanding of the Dream Customers and Clients you’re targeting, and developed a solid content strategy that converts?
What about solving the mystery of hashtags and learning how you use them to attract more customers and clients? Getting to grips with engagement and social listening methods? Learning the tips and tricks to attract daily enquiries.
Change the way you use social media for your business.

My coaching services
The skills I coach are transferable across so many industry sectors, however, I specialise in supporting designer-makers and artists. Having worked in craft magazine publishing I understand what it means to get noticed in the digital space more than anything!
Power hour coaching
Based on a single platform of your choice (I specialise in Facebook and Instagram for business), I will do a full audit on your page and current activity. I prepare for our 1-hour coaching call, which will include presentation slides and live Q&A session. It’s all focused on 3 great ways you can step up your socials, as soon as possible, on that platform, so I make sure you have detailed action steps to implement, and ideas to get working on. You get to keep a recording of our coaching session, plus a PDF copy of the presentation slides, with those action steps.
Coaching programmes
My Coaching Programmes are available as 4-week or 8-week plans, to dig deeper and cover more detailed solutions to all your social media struggles and frustrations. Each Programme features a weekly online coaching call covering separate topics, with presentation slides and time for a live Q&A session. There are suggestions and ideas for you to try straight away. Also included in these Programmes are a lifetime-access bank of resources, in the form of video recordings and PDF workbooks and downloads, to boost your learning.
Group workshops
For small business owners who are keen to up-level a group of colleagues, my Group Workshops are ideal for those looking to share marketing responsibility. Sharing the load is a great way to spread the task if you don’t have resources for a single marketing manager, but it’s super-important that everyone’s working on the same core values, principles and strategies. This is where a Group Workshop is fantastic to ensure all team members are at the same level so it becomes easy to divide responsibilities. Sessions are customisable and these can take place in-person or online by Zoom.
Clientreviews
Don’t take my word for it; here’s what my clients say…
One-on-one social media coaching
No one knows your business and your customers better than you – I’m happy to take the reins of your marketing if you like, but I’d much rather give you the tools and tricks to upskill and step up your marketing activity. Coaching support is perfect for a small business owner who understands the need to level up their business pages, grow their reach and convert ‘likes’ to customers.

As a social media coach do you post for me and what about photos?
No, content creation and posting are included under a separate set of services, which I would be happy to chat about; they’re social media management. This is usually more suited to slightly larger businesses ready to outsource. My coaching gives you the skills to run your channel(s) yourself.
What platforms do I need to use, and which can you help me with?
I specialise most on Facebook and Instagram but can also help with Twitter and Pinterest. Most importantly, I support you in using the channels where your Dream Customers and Clients are!
How soon will I get results?
Sorry, there’s no hard and fast guarantee! By following my suggestions, based on years of experience, training and study, then you are perfectly placed. When you get intentional and are no longer ‘winging it’, you get results. All my coaching includes knowhow on monitoring, so you’re able to adapt and evolve.
How many more likes will I get?
A major lesson I help with is that the number of likes, on your page and your posts, isn’t a useful measure of success. This metric offers no information on how engaged that audience is. I teach building quality over quantity and a successful engagement strategy.
