At Social+, we believe business success and community support go hand in hand. Whether it’s helping brands grow, charities raise awareness, or attending and hosting events that unite people, our focus is always on creating meaningful impact. That’s where community marketing plays a huge role, connecting businesses with people in authentic, purposeful ways.
Supporting Charities in Real, Practical Ways
One of the charities closest to our hearts is The Charlie & Carter Foundation. The foundation provides financial support to families caring for children with life-limiting conditions, often where one parent has to reduce work hours or specialist care is needed around the clock. Our role with them goes beyond sponsorship; it’s about awareness, fundraising and giving our time and expertise to help them reach more people.
Through our channels we’ve been able to shine a spotlight on the vital work they do, helping their message reach further and inspiring more people to donate or get involved. We’ve also joined them at events, offering support on the ground as well as behind the scenes. This is what community marketing means to us: being present and active, not just cheering from the sidelines.
Events That Bring People Together
Events are where community spirit really comes to life, and they’ve become a big part of what we do at Social+. A recent highlight was the Charity Golf Day organised by Bespoq & Stephen Hope Wealth, which we attended to show our support. It was more than a great day of sport, it was an opportunity to help raise money, connect with people, and celebrate the power of local businesses and charities working side by side.
We’re also committed to supporting other community fundraisers across the North East, whether that’s by promoting them through our marketing channels, lending a hand with organisation, or simply being there on the day. And from time to time, we host events of our own, giving clients and causes a platform to connect with their audiences in meaningful ways. By being on the ground, we see first-hand how these gatherings strengthen relationships and make a real difference.
Helping Brands Grow With Purpose
Of course, our work doesn’t stop with charities. Every day, we’re helping businesses of all sizes grow in ways that have a positive impact. That might be through designing social media campaigns that tell authentic stories, guiding brands towards partnerships with charities that align with their values, or creating marketing campaigns that highlight not only what a business sells but what it stands for.
For us, community marketing isn’t an optional extra, it’s an essential part of building trust. When businesses show they care about the people and places around them, audiences notice. That’s what turns customers into loyal supporters, and brands into recognised community champions.
Why This Matters
Helping brands is important, but doing so in a way that also supports people and communities is what defines Social+. We believe businesses have a responsibility beyond profit. Audiences expect authenticity and purpose, and the strongest relationships are built when brands step outside their office walls and into the lives of the people they serve. Whether it’s raising money for a local cause, giving a charity more visibility, or simply being part of events that bring people together, the impact is real and long-lasting.
