with Jess and 2 others
One year on: Meta's Andromeda unpacked! Louis, Jess and Gelly mark a year since Andromeda's launch with an honest chat about whether it's lived up to the hype.

with Victoria Vaughan and 1 other
In this episode, we sit down with Beth and Vic to unpack how they drove 42% more bookings for Giggling Squid, the UK Thai restaurant chain. They talk through the unglamorous but essential groundwork, the hyper-local strategy that saw Beth managing 120 different ad groups, and why infrastructure matters just as much as strategy. If you’re interested in what actually drives results in paid social (rather than just the shiny headline figures), this one’s for you. 🦑 For more information on us and what we offer as an agency follow us on socials @SeedBrighton 🌱
