Social Media Management in Derby, Derbyshire
Derby’s a proper city, with far more businesses fighting for attention in the same feed, and yours has to look like the actual place you are to stand out. I’m eight miles up the road in Belper, and once a quarter I come down and film you and your team at your place.

Who does social media management in Derby?
North Bear Media, run by Norton Hunt in Belper about eight miles away, manages social media for Derby businesses from Sadler Gate to Pride Park. He films your team on site each quarter, and the posts come from that, replies included. It comes inside Found & Filmed at £995 a month, and the £295 MOT is the usual start.
Derby’s a city, so your page is up against a lot more than it would be in a town.
More competition, more choice, and people in Derby scroll past in a second if a page looks tired.
Whether you’re an independent on Sadler Gate or an office out at Pride Park, the job is the same: look like the business you actually are, consistently, so people have a reason to pick you over the next one in their feed. That’s exactly what I do.
That’s where filming you properly earns its keep. Your team and your work, filmed on site, stand out in a feed full of stock photos, and the same footage works for your website and your LinkedIn too.
I’m in Belper, eight miles away. A first chat can be over a coffee in the Cathedral Quarter, or on a call if that’s easier for you.

So how do you buy it, and what if you’ve got more than one branch?
Social media is one part of Found & Filmed, which is £995 a month for one location, rolling monthly.
You get a filming day with your team each quarter, then what we film goes out steadily until the next one, with the comments answered as they come in. Being found on Google and in AI search is in it too, along with the hosting and care of your website. You’ve got a business to run, and this takes the marketing off your plate for far less than a full-time hire. No training, and I bring the kit.
Each extra branch is £450 a month on top, so with one in the city centre and one out at Pride Park, it’s the £995 plus £450. There’s 30 days’ notice either way, so if it’s not working you stop.
Want to see where you stand before you take on anything monthly? The MOT’s £295, and you can buy it online without talking to me at all.

A Derby one I’ve photographed.
This is Ivy House care home in Mickleover, which I photographed. It’s their actual building and gardens, and that tells somebody looking far more than a stock photo of somewhere else ever could.

Common questions about social media management in Derby.
How much does social media management cost in Derby?
For one location in Derby it’s £995 a month, because social media management is part of Found & Filmed, and each extra branch is £450 a month on top. It’s rolling monthly with 30 days’ notice either way, it includes a filming day with your team each quarter along with the posting and replies, and the £295 Marketing MOT is separate.
Are you a social media agency in Derby?
Yes. North Bear Media manages social media for Derby businesses as a small studio in Belper, about eight miles away, not a big agency. I’m Norton Hunt and I do the filming and editing myself, with a couple of remote specialists who help on some of the marketing side, so you deal with me, not an account manager.
Do you do social media marketing in Derby, or just the posting?
It’s more than the posting. Found & Filmed puts your social alongside being found on Google and in AI search, and each month there’s a report and a call where we look at whether it’s bringing enquiries in.
Which platforms do you manage?
Whichever your customers use. An independent on Sadler Gate will want Instagram and Facebook, and an office at Pride Park gets more from LinkedIn, so I put you where your customers are.
Do you create all the content?
Yes. Most of it comes from the filming day at your place each quarter, which I film and then edit with captions. If you need something designed from nothing, a brochure or a new logo say, that’s a project on its own and I price it up first.
How often will you post?
As often as what we’ve filmed allows, not a fixed number. In a busy Derby feed, posting something decent steadily does more than posting a lot of filler.
Can I still post on my own accounts?
Yes, carry on. If you like putting the odd thing up from the shop or the office yourself, that’s fine. Just give me a shout if something big’s going up so it doesn’t land on the same day as one of the scheduled posts.
Can we meet in person?
Yes. I’m in Belper, about eight miles from Derby, so I come to your place or meet you for a coffee in the Cathedral Quarter.

That’s what I check first in the MOT, before your social and everything else, and you get it back within 48 hours. Or book a call if you’d rather talk it through.
