Social Media Management in CorkIreland's pharma & tech heartland.
Cork is Ireland's second city — a pharma, medical-device and tech powerhouse anchored by Apple's European HQ and a thriving SME base.
Cork has hosted Apple's European HQ at Hollyhill since 1980 and is home to Pfizer, GSK, Janssen, Eli Lilly, and a long list of indigenous food, drink and maritime firms. The Cork harbour cluster supports more than 7,000 pharma jobs, and the Tyndall National Institute keeps the city on the global semiconductor map.

Local SMEs served
Citywide
Centre, Mahon, Douglas, Ballincollig, harbour
Cork's commercial fabric is split between large-employer satellites in Mahon, Ballincollig and Ringaskiddy, and an independent SME scene rooted in the city centre, Douglas and the harbour towns. A digital partner that gets both sides of that economy is a real edge.
Why a Cork-aware partner matters
We've worked with Cork-based pharma suppliers, hospitality groups, retail brands and professional services firms. We understand the rhythm of Cork procurement, the importance of word-of-mouth in the local SME scene, and how to optimise for searches that span the city, the harbour towns and the wider county.

Technologies & Tools We Use
The modern stack behind every social media management in cork project we deliver.
Use cases we fix
Real problems. Direct solutions.
Irregular posting
You post sporadically when you have time — making your brand look inconsistent and unprofessional.
We build a monthly content calendar and manage publishing so your channels are always active and on-brand.
Trades trust and referrals
Potential clients can't see proof of your work and choose competitors they've seen online.
We create before/after content, job-site photography direction, and testimonial posts that build credibility.
Food & drink footfall
Your restaurant or café isn't visible enough online to attract new customers between word-of-mouth referrals.
We build local offer content, seasonal campaigns, and engaging social posts that drive footfall consistently.
Professional services authority
Your expertise isn't visible online — competitors with an active presence are winning the trust of your prospects.
We develop a consistent content system that positions you as the expert in your field across LinkedIn and beyond.
Low engagement rates
You have followers but posts get low engagement — suggesting poor content-audience fit.
We audit your current performance, identify what resonates, and rebuild your content strategy around high-engagement formats.
Brand consistency issues
Your social channels look different from each other and from your website — diluting brand recognition.
We create brand-aligned templates, a consistent visual style, and a tone-of-voice guide for all social content.
