Who you're hiring

One person.
No layers.

I'm Marcus Banks. I've spent my career in newsrooms — the Manchester Evening News, the Liverpool ECHO, the Daily Mirror and SPORTbible as part of LADbible Group. I've built years of social media experience first-hand, managing some of the biggest pages on the planet. My formats and ideas carried millions of impressions a month and generated hundreds of thousands in revenue.

Social Nova is that experience, available directly. When you email, I answer. When the content goes out, it was made by me. There's no team to hide behind and no junior learning on your budget.

Quality content. Now.

Services

What I take on

Eight things, done properly, rather than a list of everything.

Social media

Account setup and management, content calendars, campaign concepts, event planning, scheduling and publishing, community management and engagement strategy.

Content creation

Graphics, photography and short-form video — reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts — plus video editing and subtitling.

Graphic design

Logos, leaflets, flyers, price lists, business cards and loyalty cards — plus full social media rebrands and reusable template systems.

Copywriting

Captions, hooks and social-first brand messaging that sounds like you — with SEO optimisation where it counts.

Analytics

Competitor analysis, Google Analytics and performance tracking — so decisions get made on numbers, not hunches.

AI & automation

Custom-built scripts, daily trackers and AI-powered workflows that cut the busywork out of content production.

Sport social templates

Social media templates built specifically for news sites, clubs, leagues and rights-holders — matchday-ready and yours to keep.

Social audits

A one-off analysis of your existing accounts with a practical improvement plan — what's working, what isn't, and what to do next.

How it works

Four steps.
No surprises.

Call

Twenty minutes. You tell me what you're trying to grow and what's not working. I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right person for it.

Plan

A written plan: the formats, the posting cadence, what we're measuring, and a fixed price. You see the number before anything starts.

Build

I make the content and run the channels. You get a shared calendar so you always know what's going out and when.

Report

Monthly numbers in plain English — reach, shares, follower growth, and what I'd change next month. No dashboard you have to decode.

Shop

Built once.
Yours to keep.

Template systems and toolkits, ready to drop into your own workflow.
