Leanne Smith
Venturing Into Video
My name is Leanne and in December 2023, I finally realised whilst stood exhibiting at an event for another company that maybe I should take the leap and start my own social media business.
In January 2024, Loving My Socials LTD was registered and my new path began. I decided to go for this business name as it matches my own initial, Leanne Marie Smith! But also, this phrase is what I would hope my clients would say once they’ve worked with me.
I now help my clients, not only with their social media but also their branding. My background is graphic design and art so I love being creative. I truly feel I have finally managed to combine everything together that I have a passion for, the main one being, helping others!
Whilst I mainly encourage my clients to just be consistent with their content and that ‘going viral’ isn’t everything, I can’t guarantee you won’t wake up to a video with thousands of views! (Just ask some of those who I have worked with)
As well as branding and helping people navigate their content, I have also developed a love for creating videos. Not just for myself but I love helping others feel comfortable, whether it be them on camera or just their voice until they’re ready to go further.
About 5 months into my business, one of my clients actually said to me, “I’m Loving My Socials Leanne.” And that was exactly what my aim was, back in January.
I’m also a big Bolton Wanderers fan, so attending last years Social Impact Live at the stadium was amazing. Everyone inspired me to be a part of today’s event!
Social media gives you the freedom to steer in whichever direction you wish, whether that’s personal or for your business. The more you learn, the better it gets!
Social media consistency is vital, but not every business owner can commit to it. That’s where Loving My Socials steps in. Leanne will help with creating content, managing your social media, video work and much more.
Whether you know you don’t have the time for your social media yourself, or you do have the time you just need someone to work with you, different services are available.
Some clients have regular video shoots in which Leanne will create reels from following the session so that they can post these across their social channels.
With a background in graphic design, Leanne also helps with branding, logos, business cards, flyers, banners and much more.
