Thank you Local Enterprise Office Cork North and West for the recent write-up in their latest newsletter sent out on the 12th of July. Client Spotlight: Naturally Balanced Naturally Balanced is a Kinsale-based company dedicated to revolutionising skincare with a natural, plant-based, and chemical-free range designed to nourish your skin from the outside in. Naturally Balanced is the innovative creation of Tracy McCarthy and John Sullivan, driven by a passion for holistic wellbeing. Tracy, a trained beautician, masseuse, and reflexologist, operates two successful treatment clinics in Kinsale and Clonakilty. Through her extensive experience, she identified a need for skincare products that not only enhance the skin's health but also contribute to overall wellbeing. The Naturally Balanced skincare line is meticulously formulated into four main ranges: RESTORE: Designed to penetrate deep into the tissues, this range nourishes dry skin and reduces inflammation. NATURAL: Targeting sun-damaged skin, these products help reduce fine lines and promote healing. BALANCE: Aimed at soothing and calming the skin, this range restores harmony and reduces inflammation. PURE: Unlike the others, PURE is fragrance-free, focusing on moisturising, protecting, and repairing the skin. All Naturally Balanced oils are plant-based and free from chemicals, embodying the philosophy that what goes on your skin goes through your skin. Looking to the future, Tracy plans to expand Naturally Balanced to include hair oils designed to nourish the scalp. The competitive price point of the range underscores the belief that investing in what goes on your body is as crucial as investing in what goes into your body. Discover the Naturally Balanced difference and embrace a more natural approach to skincare today. https://lnkd.in/disvYyMd

𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗜𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗢𝘂𝘁 𝗜𝗻: - 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁:  A rise of influencers / brands running community trips to increase their engaging audience. Danny and Zoe Rae are ahead of the trend creating a running club "Running with the Raes" which launched on New Year's Day. 🏃🏽   - 𝗧𝗶𝗸𝗧𝗼𝗸 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗽:  The feature has recently landed in Dublin and we don't think it will stop there as we are predicting an influx of both consumers and sellers taking advantage of this aspect on the app. Will it take over Europe? 🛍️   - 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴-𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁 𝗩𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼𝘀:  Because who didn't get a DGI Mini for Christmas? 📸 Creators are embracing extended storytelling on platforms like YouTube and TikTok.   - 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀:  Accessibility and convenience are key in 2025. Subtitles on videos continue to gain traction, making content more inclusive and viewer-friendly across all platforms. 𝗢𝘂𝘁:   - 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱: Social Media Managers are prioritising quality over quantity, moving away from oversaturated posting and crammed social calendars. 🗓️   - 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀: The era of partnering exclusively with big-name influencers is waning. Brands are moving towards more "exclusive" creators who maintain authentic, meaningful connections with their audiences and haven’t been overexposed through numerous brand deals.   - 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗨𝗚𝗖: Polished short-form videos are giving way to longer, more genuine vlogs like “spend the day with me” content. Is there anything you are hoping to leave behind in 2024 and what are you expecting to see in 2025? Let us know in the comments 👀

Clodagh Whelan, Social Media Manager at Forsman & Bodenfors Dublin, tells #SMBelfast that it is critical to create content that is captivating and attention-grabbing, as social media algorithms have three goals: 1. Make you stay on the platform longer by delivering content you'll find relevant and interesting. 2. Prioritise content based on what it believes viewers will be most likely to interact with. 3. It has pivoted to a model that favours interest
