Social media management for South African businesses
- 2 platforms · 16 posts/month
- Weekly stories + reels
- Community management
- Monthly report
Short answer: for most South African businesses, social media management means one or two platforms done properly. That's a content calendar you sign off, posts and reels that match your offer, replies to comments and DMs, and a monthly report showing what led to enquiries.
We're a small Cape Town team led by our two co-founders, and we work with businesses across South Africa. Social Media SA, the social media brand we used to run on its own site, is now part of Big Mood Agency — so everything on this page applies to the accounts we started over there too.
You know you should post, but there's never time
Most owners start strong, post for three weeks, then the business pulls them away. The feed goes quiet, DMs sit unanswered and the account stops working for you.
One team running your social every month
We agree the goal, plan a month of content, create it, post it, reply to people and report back. You spend about an hour a month approving the calendar.
