So Social Marketing

15/06/2026

Maybe it's because I'm a mum before I'm a social media marketer... but I'm all for the proposed social media ban for under 16s.

I spend my days helping businesses show up online and use social media effectively, but when it comes to children, I think it's a completely different conversation.

Kids today are growing up in a world of constant comparison, pressure and exposure to things they simply didn't need to see at such a young age. The reality is that many adults struggle with the impact of social media, so how can we expect children to navigate it?

Children have their whole lives ahead of them to be on Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat.

Let them be children a little longer.

Let them make memories instead of content.

Will a ban fix everything? Of course not.

But if it removes some of the pressure and gives children a few more years to just be children, then I think it's a step in the right direction.

I'd love to know what other parents think... 👇

When I was 16, I landed a much-coveted job in a newly opened supermarket, my first proper job.

I loved it. Especially working the ambient aisle (only ex-supermarket people will understand 😆).

I remember one of the first weeks after opening, working hard to keep the aisle looking spot on with a colleague. I proudly said to the boss,
“Doesn’t it look well?!”

His reply?
“Clara, self-praise is no praise.”

Cheeky...🙊

Fast forward 20 years, and here I am constantly telling my clients to ask for feedback, get testimonials, share reviews and I hardly ever ask for them myself! (Said comment ringing in my ears!)

But the truth is… if you don’t talk about your work, who will?

So yes, this is me blowing my own trumpet a little 🎺 and yes, that's an AI photo!😂
(shamelessly encouraged by a Google review link that i shared out.😆)

And I’m proud of it.

If you’ve ever thought about asking for a review, take this as your sign.

People are often more than happy to share… they just need asked.

I love mentoring businesses...because every once in a while you come across a real gem.

👉Toni is that gem. We had the best craic and I can't wait for her to open her salt room business later in the year. And as always, I am forever grateful when such clients take the time to leave me lovely reviews like this!🫶

Unpopular opinion 🙈

Businesses using AI artwork on their social media is making the business look cheap.

I totally get why people use it...it’s quick and easy.

But when every post has that same glossy (some even Christmas like😆) cartoon-style vibe, it stops reflecting the real business behind the page.

Social media works best when it’s real.

Your shop isn’t a cartoon.
Your café isn’t a cartoon.
Your service isn’t a cartoon.

Don't get me wrong, AI can be a REALLY useful tool (I use it a lot!) but if your whole feed looks like a cartoon, your brand starts to lose its personality.

Sorry, not sorry.😏
