Your social media sidekick

Rated 5 out of 5

Who are we?

Think of us as your marketing buddy who actually gets it.

Running a business is exhausting enough without trying to figure out the Instagram algorithm at 11pm. That’s where we come in.

We’re a Sydney-based team who live and breathe social media so you don’t have to. While you focus on what you do best – running your business – we’re in your corner creating scroll-stopping content, building genuine connections with your audience, and turning your social channels into your hardest-working employee.

No jargon. No fluff. Just honest, effective social media management that actually moves the needle for your business.

What do we offer?

Everything you need (and nothing you don’t).

Your business has a story worth telling – we just make sure the right people hear it.

We handle the whole shebang: crafting content that sounds like you, scheduling posts at the perfect time, responding to comments like we’re part of your team (because we are), and keeping your feed looking fresh.

Think of us as your social media department, minus the salary and office politics. We dive deep into understanding your brand’s personality, goals, and audience – then we get to work making your socials something you’re actually proud to share.

Packages

Simple pricing. Real results. No surprises.

Here’s the truth: if you’re not showing up on social media consistently, you’re invisible to customers who are ready to buy.

But you don’t need complicated contracts or confusing tier structures. We’ve created three straightforward packages designed for Australian businesses that want results without the runaround.

Pick the one that fits, and let’s get started.

I’ve been working with Greg and Keenan since March 2018 who have been fantastic at managing our SEO campaigns. Having had an undesirable experience with another agency, Picked First has really proved themselves through great results and a professional approach. We have achieved numerous #1 rankings for our main target keywords, beating our main competitors out of the water. Work with these guys.
