Social Media Management — New Zealand
Now onboarding

For NZ small businesses tired of shouting into the algorithm.

Stop posting
into the
void.
Finally.

Sarah Leigh — social media manager for small businesses in New Zealand

You didn't start your business to spend your evenings writing captions, second-guessing hashtags or watching your posts disappear into the void with zero enquiries. That's exactly what I'm here for.

I offer social media management for small businesses across New Zealand — taking Facebook and Instagram off your plate so your marketing actually does something. Not just ticking a box. Real content that connects with the right people, builds trust over time and turns followers into paying customers.

These packages are built for NZ small business owners who are done doing it all themselves.

Less stress. More enquiries. Social media management that finally feels like it's working.

Why these numbers matter

Reach this size is hard to buy

456k+ views across three reels with no ad spend means the content earned its reach on merit — the algorithm pushed it because real people watched, reacted and shared.

Watch rate is the real signal

Average watch rates of 61% and 71% sit well above the norm for reels — proof the hooks land and the content holds attention, not just racks up a thumbnail impression.

Reach that builds the account

400+ net new followers off the back of this content — views that translate into a growing audience, not vanity numbers that disappear.

This is what "done properly" looks like.

Don't just take
my word for it.

"I was in two minds if it would be a good idea to outsource our social media management. Having found Sarah, I am so glad we did. She has brought so much more to my business beyond social media posts.

Sarah has become a really important part of the team as our marketing guru. She gets our industry and gets me with the way I want to present my business, frequently coming up with new ideas and working with me on lots of marketing projects I have always wanted to do.

She is always there when you need her, she is fun to work with, brings energy and excitement to the business. I would be totally lost without Sarah now."

"Social media is hard. Full stop. We were trying to do it ourselves and struggling. Out of desperation we reached out to Sarah Leigh Design for a helping hand, and we are so glad we did. We opted for the one-off social media strategy & setup option and boy did it deliver!

Sarah was brilliant. She was super approachable, had a great sense of humour, took the time to listen, and gave us a simple, step-by-step plan that was easy to understand and follow. Instead of feeling like we were constantly guessing what to post, she helped us understand what we were doing and why.

The results have been incredible. Our stats went from around 700 views to 6,000 views on our first post, then 76,000 on our second, and we gained almost 300 followers in just three days!

Sarah gave us direction, confidence and, most importantly, made us feel like we could actually do this ourselves. We're so grateful and would absolutely recommend her."

Social Media Management NZ

Still got questions?

A few things you might be wondering before we get your socials looking a little less "I'll post when I remember" and a lot more polished.

This depends on your package, but you can expect consistent, strategic posting every week. It's not about posting for the sake of it — it's about showing up with purpose, keeping your brand front of mind, and building an audience that actually turns into enquiries.

Yes — and that's a good thing, because you know your business best. I'll guide you on exactly what to capture, and we'll set up a shared folder to keep everything easy. You send it through, I turn it into social media content that works for your NZ audience.

I handle the strategy, captions, branded graphics and creative direction for your Facebook and Instagram. If you need full content creation like filming or photography, we can scope that in as an add-on depending on what you need.

Typically Facebook and Instagram for NZ small businesses — these are where most of your customers are spending their time. That said, social media management can be tailored depending on your business, your goals and where your audience actually hangs out.

Social media management focuses on organic content — consistent, strategic posting that builds your brand over time. If you're wanting paid social or Google Ads, that's a separate service. The good news? Organic social and Google Ads work very well together, and I offer both — so we can package them up for a more connected marketing approach.

Social media marketing is a long game, and anyone who promises overnight results isn't being straight with you. What you will see early on is consistency, stronger branding and better content. Real growth, increased reach and leads build over time — typically 3–6 months for meaningful traction. We're playing smart, not frantic.

Absolutely. Content is planned and scheduled in advance, and sent through for your approval before anything goes live. You're always in the loop — no surprise posts appearing in the wild, no guessing what's going up on your page.

You're working directly with me — not a junior account manager, not someone juggling 50 clients at once. As a NZ-based social media manager, I take the time to actually understand your business, your voice and your goals. No middle layers, no being passed around. Just someone who genuinely cares about your results.

Yes — depending on your package, you'll receive regular insights so you can see what's working, what's improving and where we're heading. No confusing dashboards or jargon — just clear updates on what your social media is actually doing for your business.

Yes! I work with small businesses all across New Zealand — Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and everywhere in between. Everything is managed remotely, so location is never a barrier to getting great social media support.
