What I can help you with

I get it… You want to focus on nurturing the parts of your business that bring you joy (that’s why you started in the first place, right?) Getting tangled up in the maze of Reels, captions, and content calendars…Not so joyful.

That's exactly why Glowtide Creative is here - to lift the weight off your shoulders and transform your social media presence into a powerful force.

I believe your socials should *work* for you, turning likes into bookings, enquiries into loyal customers, and shares into steady, thriving growth.

  • Relieve yourself of the headache of social media with an all-in-one package. I plan and capture your content, write captions in your business tone of voice, schedule posts, and keep an eye on what’s working so your feeds stay active and intentional (gone are the days with last-minute panic posts!)

  • From cosy wine bars and buzzy brunch spots to coastal lifestyle brands, I create photo and video content that looks like your space and your people. Reels, short-form video, photography and user-style content that fits naturally into social media, not stock-image energy.

  • If you’re not ready to hand everything over, we can work together on a clear strategy instead. I’ll audit your current socials, map out your content pillars, posting plan and ideas, and give you a practical roadmap you can follow without wanting to throw your phone in the sea.

  • Need help with collaborations or local creator campaigns? As the face behind Elly in Southsea, I understand both sides. I can help you shape collaboration ideas, choose the right partners and make sure the content actually supports your goals – not just free lunch for someone with a ring light.

Hi, I’m Elly!

I'm a creative strategist, social media manager, and content creator living in Southsea, Hampshire. I specialise in supporting small businesses, start-ups and independent brands with developing their online profile, with authentic storytelling that connects them with their target audience.

Just pop your details into my enquiry form and share a bit about your business, your socials, and where you're feeling a bit stuck. I’ll get back to you with some next steps, and if it seems like a good match, we’ll arrange a discovery call to discuss things further.

1/ Enquire & Chat

Based on the information gathered during our discovery call and the goals for your business, I will develop a straightforward proposal outlining how I can help, where time would be best spent, and costings for services involved for your review.

2/ Plan & Approve

Once you’re happy, I will send over a contract and welcome pack, outlining how we will work together and the measurable goals you can expect from the project, helping to keep all parties accountable. We can then book in your content session and get creating!

  • "As a talented local content creator, Elly brought creativity and energy to our Instagram channel, crafting engaging content that captured the essence of our brand. Her insights were invaluable, helping us build a strong presence and connect with our audience effectively."

    — Lucy B, Shroom Kitchen

  • “Having come across Elly’s Instagram page we were drawn to how engaging her food posts were. With great photography skills and excellent use of descriptive language, we were keen to work with her. Elly offered a free consultation session to understand what it was we wanted to get across to our customers as well as get to know the values of our independent business. The shoot day was extremely fun with Elly using her creativity and knowledge of social media marketing to give us a tailored experience."

    — Gurdit & Tex, Sandhukri Catering

  • "I had such a lovely experience working with Elly. As someone who doesn't like being in front of the camera she made me feel so at ease! From start to finish she made everything feel easy and relaxed. She really took the time to understand the feel and atmosphere I wanted for The Head Haven, and it shows so clearly in the photos and videos. The final content feels natural, calm and completely aligned with my brand, I couldn't be happier with it! I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting content that looks professional but still feels authentic."

    — Sally, The Head Haven
