The person behind it

Ben Gerrity
Founder · Mantis Media

Before starting Mantis Media, I spent 10+ years in B2B sales at director level. During this time I worked with clients such as:

Kainos Haas F1 Team Lebara 4PS BES Group RWS Group

Enterprise sales taught me that the fundamentals are always the same: understand what the customer actually needs, say it clearly, and make it easy for them to take the next step. That is exactly what I do for local businesses in Tameside and Greater Manchester. Direct access. No account managers. No outsourcing. You deal with the person building your campaigns from day one.

The bottom line
Content quality is the floor. Strategy is the ceiling.
Most local businesses have great services. They just need the right strategy behind their content. That is all we do.

Common questions

Everything you
want to know.

Do I need to sign a long contract? +
We ask for 3 months to start because social media takes time to build properly. That is not a lock-in it is the minimum runway needed to get real results. After month three, everything rolls monthly with 30 days notice. No penalties, no exit fees, no awkward conversations.
How quickly can we start? +
Most new clients are up and running within a week of signing. We need access to your social accounts, a brief about your business and a date for the first filming session. We handle the rest.
What if results are slow in the first month? +
Social media builds over time. The first month is about establishing the foundation the content style, posting rhythm and audience. Most clients see meaningful reach growth by month two and enquiries following shortly after. We are transparent about timelines from day one.
Can I combine packages? +
Yes. Many clients run a Full Service or Lite retainer alongside Meta Ads Management. We will recommend the right combination based on your goals, your budget and what stage your business is at.
Do I need to be on camera? +
Not necessarily. Some of our best-performing content features the work rather than the person. That said, businesses where the owner appears on camera consistently outperform those that don't. We will guide you on what works best for your specific business.
What do I need to provide? +
For Full Service just your time on filming day and access to your accounts. For Lite weekly phone footage and your social account access. For Ads your ad spend budget (paid directly to Meta, separate from our fee) and access to your Meta Business account.
Do you work outside Tameside and Manchester? +
Our filming days are limited to within 15 miles of Tameside due to travel time. Lite Management, Meta Ads Management and the Quote Tool are location-independent and available to any UK business.
How do I know the Quote Tool will pay for itself? +
For any trade business doing jobs at £1,500+, one lead captured overnight pays for the £4,500 implementation inside three jobs. The tool also builds your email list automatically that data has ongoing value for every future campaign you run.

What clients say

Don't take
our word for it.

★★★★★

"Got Mantis on board back end of last year. We brought Ben in originally for social media exposure but quickly seen he was a one stop shop for all of our marketing. His attitude was second to none. After a week he was fully on board with our business needs and what we wanted to do. He's bringing us leads for commercial work and larger projects, which we specifically asked for when we first sat down. For anyone running a business, I wouldn't hesitate in referring Ben. His passion and knowledge is out of this world. He feels more like a partner in the business rather than someone just helping with a Facebook post."
