Now we are five!

It’s hard to believe but 92 Minutes is five years old! Happy birthday to us!

What started in 2017 as a tiny business with just two social media clients is now a - well, we are still a tiny business but right now we tend to to be working with ten clients at any one time. Over the years we’ve worked with organisations in Southampton where we are based, Hampshire, across England, into Wales - no-one yet from Scotland - and we’re currently working with someone in Northern Ireland. We’ve also worked with organisations with European and global presence. The world is a very big and a very small place!

Around half of our work is still much as it was when we started - we manage social media, day to day, for great organisations, to let those organisations do what they do best. This comes in a range of shapes and sizes - for some clients we listen and help them build their network by connecting with organisations they want to engage with. For others, we talk - we create and post content. For yet others we do both!

As well as that, we provide social media training, generally to charities who really want to get their message out but have limited time and money. The tools and processes we use are ones created by our Founder Becky when she ran an award winning social enterprise. There, Becky learned how to do social media with very little time and money, so our ways of working are rooted in the reality of that world.

Alongside social media, our services have expanded. We sometimes say that ‘if it’s words we can help’ - we’ve evaluated the impact of charities and created reports based on that, as well as writing blogs, newsletters and even video scripts. We’ve written copy for new websites - from the about us page right down to the text you find on website buttons - and we now create images, including for Instagram posts. Behind all of this is our work in strategy, understanding your aims, outcomes and personas.

We also now provide websites (including ours - what do you think?) and we were delighted to be supported by Ocean Outdoors and Southampton City Council with free advertising space on two of Southampton’s digital billboards. We took the opportunity of this coinciding with our fifth birthday to have a spruce up. We have refreshed our branding and are so proud to show it off across this city.

One thing has not changed in five years. We are as committed today to supporting great organisations doing good in the world to get heard as we were on June 2nd 2017 when we started. We know how hard it can be to find the time, and let’s be honest the money - which is why our services start at just 92 minutes a week.

If your charity, independent business or women’s organisation would like a helping hand, we’d love to talk. And if you’re doing fine as you are, perhaps just think of us when you have your next piece of cake - happy fifth birthday to us!
