Social Media Management Shrewsbury
Social Media Services with a Backbone
Vertebrae Social runs social media management for founders and business owners across Shrewsbury and the wider Shropshire area. We build the strategy, create the content, manage the accounts and grow your audience, so you stop posting on the fly and start showing up with purpose. Whether you need a one off content shoot at your premises or full monthly management, our work is built around personal branding, real stories and a voice that does not get lost in the corporate beige.
Running a business in Shrewsbury comes with its own rhythm. The independents along Wyle Cop and Frankwell. The professional firms tucked behind the Quarry. The food producers and agricultural businesses scattered across the wider county. Shrewsbury is a market town with the energy of somewhere much bigger, and the social media advice you find online was almost never written with this kind of audience in mind.
You need something different. Let's get into it.
What Is Your Shrewsbury Digital Archetype?
Most founders we work with fall into one of four archetypes. Here is where Shrewsbury businesses tend to sit.
Independent Champions: The retailers, restaurants and lifestyle brands building loyal followings on Wyle Cop, Pride Hill, Frankwell and the side streets. You live and die by community trust.
Heritage Heroes: The family-run businesses that have been part of Shrewsbury for decades. You have a reputation in spades. You just need it visible online.
Rural Trailblazers: Food producers, farm shops, drinks brands and agri innovators across Oswestry, Market Drayton, Whitchurch and beyond. You make something real and you are tired of slick city brands taking the credit.
Professional Builders: B2B consultants, accountants, lawyers and advisors who win on expertise. You need to look as credible online as you sound in the room.
We work out which one fits you and build a strategy that plays to your strengths.
Our Shrewsbury Social Media Services
We work with a small number of founders at a time so we can properly understand your business, your voice and your people. Here is what that looks like in practice.
Social Media Strategy
The starting point for most clients. We audit your current channels, find the gaps and build a plan around your business goals. You walk away with content pillars, a voice guide, a posting cadence and a clear sense of who you are talking to and why. Good for founders who want to handle the posting themselves but need a proper plan to follow.
Full Social Media Management
We become the engine room of your social presence. We write the captions, design the assets, schedule the posts and reply to the comments. You stay involved as much or as little as you want, and you sign off everything before it goes live. Our social media management services cover Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok and Facebook depending on where your audience actually spends their time.
Content Production and Shoots
Most of our clients are camera shy. That is fine. Sam and Tom come to you with cameras and microphones for a day of content, whether that is your workshop in Battlefield, your studio in Frankwell or your office near the station. Structured interviews, fly on the wall footage, raw material to fill weeks of posts. We can edit it for you or hand it over for your own team. Find out more on our content production page.
Platform Specific Support
Different platforms reward different things. Our LinkedIn management services suit founders and consultants who want to be known for what they think. Our Instagram management services work for retailers, hospitality and visual brands. Our TikTok management is for founders ready to be a bit braver with short form video.
How Much Does Social Media Management in Shrewsbury Cost?
Every business is different so we price every engagement based on what you actually need. As a guide, our full monthly social media management starts from £500 per month. One off strategy projects, audits and content shoots are quoted separately.
The best way to get a clear number is a free 20 minute discovery call. We ask about your business, talk through what would help and give you honest pricing before you commit to anything.

Built for Shrewsbury and Shropshire Businesses
Shrewsbury punches above its weight. The independent retail scene is genuinely strong. The food and drink scene is properly impressive. The professional services sector is busier than people give it credit for. And the wider Shropshire economy is a real mix, from agriculture and food production out toward Oswestry and Market Drayton, to advanced manufacturing in Telford, to tourism around Ironbridge and the Shropshire Hills.
This is what we love about working in this part of the country. Shropshire is not a glossy market. It rewards businesses that turn up, tell the truth and build relationships over time. That is exactly what we help our clients do online.
We work with businesses in Shrewsbury and across Shropshire, from Telford and Oswestry to Market Drayton, Whitchurch, Church Stretton and Ludlow. We come to you for shoots and meetings, and we run everything else remotely so there is no city centre overhead baked into your fee.
Ready to Stop Posting Into the Void?
If you are running a business in Shrewsbury or anywhere in Shropshire and your social media has been on the back burner for too long, we can help. Your expertise deserves to be seen.

How We Work: Our Three Month Kickoff
We do not do rolling monthly retainers with no plan. Every new client starts with a three month kickoff so we can build a proper foundation.
Month one is strategy. We audit your current accounts, dig into your industry and your customers, and build the plan. You sit with us through a Personal Brand Interview so we capture your voice properly before a single post goes out.
Month two is content. We carry out your first content shoot. We design templates, write the first batch of posts and start posting consistently. You sign off everything.
Month three is analysis. We look at what is moving the dial, double down on the formats getting traction and start building real community around your brand. By the end of the kickoff you should be seeing better engagement, more relevant profile visitors and the start of inbound conversations.
After that, we move into ongoing monthly management or a strategy plus support model depending on what suits you.

-
If social media keeps falling off your to do list, yes. It only works when it is consistent and built around a real strategy. If you can keep that up yourself, you do not need an agency. If you cannot, we run it for you so it stops being the thing you feel guilty about every Sunday.
-
Yes, always. You have final sign off on every post, caption and piece of video. It is your brand. We are here to give it backbone, not take it over.

You will see engagement lift within the first month or two. The bigger results, things like inbound leads, podcast invitations and serious profile growth, build over three to six months of consistent posting. Social media is a long game and we are honest about that upfront.

-
Both. Social content and short form video sit at the heart of what we do. We shoot, edit and post the lot. If video is the priority, we have a dedicated social media video offer that turns one day on site into months of content.
