If you are comparing social media marketing Austin options, here is the short version of who we are: a Manchester team running social for US businesses since 2020, priced in USD, working in your mornings. Keep Austin Weird is not a slogan, it is a content strategy - authenticity wins here. No packages, no vanity metrics - just content and paid social engineered around revenue.
We start every engagement with an audit of what you already have - your accounts, your content, your ad history if any. Half the time the audit shows the business does not need us yet, or needs far less than it thinks. We say that plainly, because selling a Austin business a retainer it does not need is how agencies earn their reputation.
When we do take on social media marketing Austin, we build it around one question: what commercial result is this meant to produce? Enquiries, bookings, footfall, sales - pick the metric that pays the bills and we engineer the content and paid activity backwards from it. Followers are a byproduct, not the goal.
Short-form video is now the default language of social, and Austin audiences are fluent. Reels, TikTok and Shorts get the reach that static posts lost years ago. That does not mean everything must be video - it means your content plan needs a video spine with static and carousel content supporting it.
TikTok and Instagram lead; X spikes hard during SXSW. We produce video to a standard that survives next to professional creators: proper hooks in the first two seconds, captions burned in, native formatting per platform. Young, creative and allergic to corporate speak - brands need a genuine voice.
Every paid social programme we run for Austin clients follows the same discipline: one clear objective per campaign, proper conversion tracking before launch, creative tested in at least three variants, and weekly optimisation against cost-per-result targets. No set-and-forget, no autopilot budgets.
TikTok and Instagram lead; X spikes hard during SXSW. The channel mix for paid follows the organic evidence - we scale spend where your audience already responds. And because campaigns run in your own ad accounts (built to Meta Business best practice), you keep full ownership of the data, audiences and learnings if we ever part ways.
We build content systems that survive without us. Pillars, templates, the approval playbook, the local calendar - if you ever bring social in-house, you inherit all of it. An agency that makes itself indispensable through obscurity is not one we would want to hire either.
In practice that means everything is documented: why each pillar exists, what good looks like per platform, how Austin seasonality affects the plan. SXSW and ACL Festival are global moments a local brand can ride. Your team could run it; most clients prefer we keep running it, but the option is real.
Let us also say what we are not. We are not a Austin local - we will never pretend to be. We will not know your neighbourhood rivalries on day one, and we will ask questions a local would not need to ask. We consider that diligence, not a weakness.
What we are: a team that has run social for businesses across the US since 2020, with the reviews to show for it, working in your timezone overlap every weekday. Keep Austin Weird is not a slogan, it is a content strategy - authenticity wins here. If you want an agency that tells you the truth about what social can and cannot do for your business, we are a good fit.
Straight answers to what Austin brands ask us most.
Both. Product launches, seasonal pushes around moments like SXSW and ACL Festival are global moments a local brand can ride. - we run campaign sprints - and ongoing monthly programmes for businesses that want consistent growth. The audit tells us which you actually need.
Three reasons clients give us: cost (Manchester overheads mean 30-40% lower fees in USD), perspective (an outside view of your market, not the local echo chamber), and honesty (we will tell you when social is not the answer). What you give up is someone local in twenty minutes - in five years, no US client has missed that.
Yes. Social media is research, content, community management and paid campaigns - none of it requires a Austin office. We work remotely with full timezone overlap (UK afternoons are US mornings), scheduled video calls and shared approval calendars. For on-site footage we use vetted local photographers in Austin with our remote direction.
Honestly: a proper programme with strategy, content creation, community management and paid social typically starts around $2,000 a month for a small Austin business, plus ad spend paid directly to the platforms. Anyone quoting a few hundred dollars a month is selling scheduled stock photos. We quote in USD after an audit, and our Manchester overheads usually land 30-40% below a comparable Austin agency.
TikTok and Instagram lead; X spikes hard during SXSW. We score every platform on where your customers spend time, what formats you can sustain and the unit economics of paid reach - then focus on two or three done well rather than six done thinly.
Most of our Austin social clients combine it with one of these:
