Which social media platforms does my business actually need to be active on?

Not every business needs every platform. Stonebridge reviews the client's audience, industry, content strengths, public profile, sales process, media activity, and campaign objectives before deciding where to focus. An author may need a different mix from a B2B technology company or a public expert. The goal is to build a consistent presence where the right audience already spends time, not to create inactive profiles simply so every platform logo can be displayed.

How often should we post, and does every platform need the same posting schedule?

The content calendar sets out channels, themes and publishing dates. Its planning period is agreed in your project scope.

Does Stonebridge create the content, captions, and campaign ideas, or do I need to provide them?

Stonebridge can create the strategy, content pillars, campaign themes, calendar, post direction, captions, media-proof posts, launch content, and calls to action included in the approved scope. The client can provide existing photographs, videos, brand materials, insights, or internal updates, and Stonebridge can turn them into usable content. The exact production responsibility is agreed at the beginning so there is no confusion about what the client must supply.

Can I review and approve social media content before it is published?

Yes, when approval is part of the management structure. Stonebridge can provide content calendars or scheduled posts for client review before publication, especially where the subject is sensitive, regulated, highly personal, or tied to an important launch. Over time, some clients choose to give the team more operating freedom once the voice and content rules are established. The approval process is set according to the client's needs rather than forcing one workflow on everyone.

Can my own team continue posting while Stonebridge manages the strategy?

Yes. Stonebridge can work alongside an internal team as long as the responsibilities are clear and the content remains coordinated. We can define which posts Stonebridge handles, which content the client creates, how campaigns and launches are scheduled, and how both sides avoid duplicating or contradicting each other. The objective is one consistent public presence, not to prevent the client's own team from communicating.

How do you measure whether social media is contributing to visibility, credibility, leads, or sales?

Stonebridge looks at the objective behind the strategy. Visibility can be measured through reach, impressions, views, profile discovery, and audience growth. Credibility can be strengthened through media proof, testimonials, useful content, reviews, and expert positioning. Where lead generation or sales are part of the plan, Stonebridge also connects social activity to website traffic, forms, bookings, campaign links, or other conversion data. The reporting should reflect the business goal rather than one universal vanity metric.
