    Known for her bubbly personality and effortless style, Amy is the ultimate "easy-to-talk-to" pro who keeps our biggest clients on track. Whether she’s orchestrating on-location shoots or building disruptive ad campaigns, she handles every detail with the precision of an F1 pit crew.

Whether she’s plotting the next big campaign or keeping projects running at F1 speed, she ensures everyone stays happy, and every deadline is met.

    When she’s not in the office (or the squat rack), she’s likely cheering on Charles Leclerc or out on an adventure with her Golden-doodle, Scooby.

  • Aimée Stones (She/Her)

    - Written by Shannon

We love working with everyone,

Social Media Success for Creative Agencies

Since the inception of the company, we have always had the mantra that every employee is overqualified to just spend days a month scheduling content. This was our managing directors first job when covering his then business partners holiday, and this gave birth to the Gather Platform. Our in house marketing agency developed platform is recognised by Buffer as a partner and leading agency tool. We are here to assist any company looking to reduce scheduling time across their entire client or business portfolio. 

By utilising the Gather Platform you will free up hundreds of man-hours per month from the burden of scheduling content. You will see a natural increase in results as your consistency and frequency improve, and more importantly your creative team has hundreds of hours free up to help grow your business. 

Your team morale will naturally receive a big boost. No creative talent ever woke up and punched the air with delight that today is content scheduling day. Imagine the worst part of your creative team's job's being removed and freeing them up to be more creative for your clients. Leaving them with more time to respond to emails, brainstorm or even research that next killer idea or pitch. 

You might be thinking about hiring, but examining what automating content scheduling could mean for your existing team is incredibly important. Automating content scheduling is an effective way of increasing turnover and profitability without increasing headcount.

"The team at gather social have been amazing, they have helped us grow a brand, they have been supportive, educational and inspiring and like having a personal coach. They get to know your business like true consultants. I would be lost without them. If you want to take your business to the next level. Sam and Jules and his team can do this."

Michelle, Eternal Being

Social Media Success for Estate Agents

Everybody who wishes to own or rent a home will require the use of an estate agent during their lifetime. The secret to success for an estate agent is to blanket market the local area. This is a bit like an old fashioned flyer drop, but straight onto peoples phones. Ultimately this will be brand awareness content sowing the seed to the user, that you’re an estate agent and you are there should they need your service. 

Content creation is relatively straight forward. Use your properties available for rent or sale as your changeable content. Once you have developed some brand awareness content, you are ready to roll. Your brand awareness content may need to be updated quarterly and your properties weekly. 

You will require a fixed amount of budget per month to target users based upon the data. We would recommend targeting by homeownership times, as people who currently own homes in your local area are most likely to be your customer. A similar strategy can be used to target landlords and tenants alike. 

Turn your social media presence into your sales USP. Attract more sales and lettings opportunities with a social media package for each property to give your customer a real premium service.
