About Us
Who we are, and what we do...
You probably are familiar with, or have heard of, social media marketing agencies (SMMA) which are a popular business model with a focus on running clients social media accounts for them - including the content creation, management and PR aspects. However, these agencies do not suit every business, for example:
- You may not trust a 3rd party with your account passwords and entire brand reputation.
- Marketing comes from the heart of a business - only you understand the impact you want to create and your brands creative vision, a marketing agency will never truly capture this.
- Traditional SMMAs work with many clients so can only spend limited time on each client's account - meaning non-unique content being posted, limiting your success.
- You may be a content creator yourself such as an influencer, artist, or photographer so don't require an agency to do this for you.
- You may have a marketing staff hired so don't require an agency to run your social accounts.
That's why we are here. We are a social media consultancy business which instead of running your social media pages, we provide you or your team with strategic tailored advice to give you the knowledge and confidence you need to successfully grow on social media and meet your business objectives. This advice comes in a range of forms including online consulting, social media account audits, and online courses - so no matter the size of your problem or your budget, we can help you.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to use our social media knowledge and experience to provide strategic advice tailored to clients including; small-to-medium-enterprises (SMEs), larger and preestablished brands, sole traders, freelancers, entrepreneurs, influencers, theme page owners, social community leaders, students, and anyone interested in growing their social media presence and/ or developing their knowledge and understanding.
What we are most proud of...
Providing education
Here at Josh Porter Media we believe that information, particularly for popular and increasingly essential topics like social media marketing and management should be made available for an accessible price for everyone that needs it. Today's world is filled with online gurus selling online courses while making questionable promises, and even the more genuine guides don't explain the fundamental principles of achieving social media success since those who know like to gatekeep. This is why we proudly offer our course, The Social Media Marketing Handbook, for an accessible price so anyone wanting or needing to know how to grow on social media can learn regardless of budget and prior experience from a dedicated consultancy business.
Helping small businesses
In today's economic environment it is increasingly difficult for small businesses to survive against all the huge multinational companies with expansive marketing budgets, leading to social media becoming the only affordable way of spreading mass brand awareness. However, due to this, many SME's rely solely on their social media performance as their only marketing channel so the success of their business often depends on the success of their socials. That's why we are proud to help SME's to compete on social media where everyone is your competitor for attention, using our knowledge and experience to give them the chance they deserve.
Our founder, Josh Porter
"My social media marketing journey began 5 years ago at the age of 15 during the first COVID lockdown when together with some friends I founded a gaming clan, posting clips on Instagram of our gameplay which attracted multiple affiliate sponsors, igniting my passion for social media marketing and highlighting to me its potential. From here, I have run several social pages ranging from theme pages to my personal art page, and main modelling- focused account. Across these pages I successfully built expansive engaging communities and connected with several widely recognised and leading brands. Along this journey I have learnt a lot about what it takes to succeed on social media and how to adapt to its constant evolution, in which it's fair to say I made numerous mistakes along the way, costing me further success. It is after learning from these mistakes that I became passionate about launching this consultancy business so I can help you to avoid the mistakes that I made, and guide you with the knowledge I have picked up along the way and continue to develop".
