Social media marketing in Essex for service businesses. The Sequence runs a done-for-you system — a local follower ad, an automated DM flow and consistent monthly video — that brings local people who've never heard of you onto your page and into conversations. Based in Braintree, working across Chelmsford, Witham and Colchester. Retainers start from £995/month.

Posting more isn't the answer. Distribution is — getting your content in front of the right local people, week after week, instead of hoping the algorithm picks it up.

The Content Engine, run for you.

Organic posting only reaches the people already following you. The real problem is distribution — getting in front of local people who don't know you yet, consistently. That's what the system is built to do, and it's the same one we run on our own business.

Three parts working together, managed end to end. You film once a month and reply to a few DMs. Everything else is handled.

  • Local follower adLow-cost, targeted at your ideal customers nearby.
  • DM flowEvery new follower gets a genuine opener — conversations on autopilot.
  • Monthly videoOne session becomes four to six weeks of trust-building content.

Meet Sam

Founder & Creative Lead

I built this system on my own business first, before I ever sold it. When I got busy with client work my own marketing would stop and the pipeline would dry up — so I built something that runs in the background whether I'm busy or not. It worked, so now I run it for service businesses across Essex. When you book a call, you're talking to me.

FAQ

Social media questions.

Retainers start from £995 per month. That covers the strategy, the managed local follower ad, the DM flow, the monthly filming session, editing, captions and scheduling. Your ad spend is separate and entirely your call — it can start from as little as £5 a day.
Everything that makes the system run: a local follower ad set up and managed for you, an automated DM flow that opens conversations with new followers, a monthly filming session, plus editing, captions, scheduling and ongoing optimisation. You show up for one session a month — we handle the rest.
Less than most people expect. The local follower ad can start from as little as £5 a day and still bring in solid results. Around £20 a day (roughly £600 a month) is where the most consistent results come through. We dial in the right number for your area and goals on the call.
One filming session a month, around four to five hours, plus a few minutes a day replying to the DMs that come through. We handle the strategy, scripts, ads, edits, captions and posting.
There's a three-month minimum so the system has time to compound, then it's rolling month-by-month with 30 days' notice. Short-form rewards consistency, and three months gives the engine enough runway to start producing.
Some clients get enquiries within the first couple of weeks. For others it builds over a month or two as the local audience grows. Either way the engine is running, and once it compounds it's hard to stop.
If you're a service business with local customers, almost certainly. We've run this for trades, fitness, beauty, hospitality and professional services. The mechanics stay the same — the targeting and the message change.
