What we do

Four services.
One online presence.

Most brands have the pieces but nothing joins them up. We build the strategy, make the content, grow the channel and design the website it all points to.

01 · Strategy

Post with a plan, not a hunch.

We get under the skin of your brand and your customers, then build a strategy that tells you what to say, which platforms matter and how every post moves someone closer to buying.

  • Brand, audience and competitor audit
  • Content pillars and tone of voice
  • Platform plan: which channels and why
  • Monthly content calendar
  • Monthly reporting with clear next moves
Sample month · tap a pillar20 posts
Every post has a job. Tap a pillar to see how it is spread across the month.
02 · Content

Content that stops the scroll.

On-site filming, sharp edits and captions written to hook in the first second. Reels, carousels and stories built around your strategy, so every piece has a reason to exist.

  • On-site filming days and drone footage
  • Short-form reels and TikToks
  • Carousels, graphics and stories
  • Hooks, captions and scheduling
  • Community management for comments and DMs

  • Channel setup, branding and strategy
  • Episode planning and scripting
  • Filming and full edit with chapters

Short-form content · Strategy

We built BML Waste Removals a content plan around what people actually want to see from a waste removal company: real jobs, real prices and straight talking about the industry.

Filmed on the job and in the van, with hooks built to stop the scroll and start conversations in the comments. In 30 days we doubled their follower count and generated over 1.4 million views, turning attention into over £13K of new business.

Web design case study

Built for T&A Resin.
Built to win work.

A web design case study. We took T&A Resin off a template site and built a fast, custom website with interactive tools that turn visitors into quote requests. Explore the live site below.

Web design · SEO · Social

From a Wix template to a lead engine.

T&A Resin install resin bound driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West. Their work was excellent but their old site didn't show it, and enquiries relied on word of mouth.

We designed and coded a new site from scratch around how their customers buy: see the finish, get a price, book a survey.

Why YouTube long-form

Reels get you seen.
Long-form gets you chosen.

Short-form is brilliant for reach. But when someone is about to spend real money, they search, they watch and they pick the brand they already trust.

1

It keeps getting found

YouTube is a search engine. A good video can bring in viewers for years, not hours.

2

Minutes, not seconds

Ten minutes with you builds more trust than a hundred fifteen second scrolls.

3

One shoot, a month of content

Every episode gets cut into shorts, reels and posts for every other channel.

One video vs one reel

Illustrative model of a typical pattern: reels spike then fade, search driven videos keep earning views. Your numbers will vary.

YouTube case study

YouTube long-form · Short-form content

From reels to a weekly YouTube show.

We have been creating short-form content for JMC Van Sales for over 12 months. When they were ready for more, we launched their YouTube channel.

Their first ever video hit 15,000 views and 600 subscribers in a single day. JMC now release a new long-form episode every week, building trust with buyers and putting the brand in front of a whole new audience alongside their short-form content.

The person behind it

Ben Gerrity
Founder · Mantis Social

Before starting Mantis Social, I spent 10+ years in B2B sales at director level, working with clients such as:

KainosHaas F1 TeamLebara4PSBES GroupRWS Group

Enterprise sales taught me that the fundamentals never change: understand what the customer actually needs, say it clearly and make it easy for them to take the next step. That is exactly how I build a brand's online presence, from the first post to the website it points to.

Direct access. No account managers. No outsourcing. You deal with the person building your brand from day one.

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."

Common questions

Everything you
want to know.

We help brands build their online presence across four areas: social media strategy, content creation, YouTube long-form and web design. You can use one service or all four. They work best together, because your content, your channel and your website should all be pulling in the same direction.

No. Some clients start with a website, some with content, some with a full strategy. Try the plan builder above for a quick recommendation, then we will talk it through properly on a call.

Every brand is different, so we scope each project after a free discovery call and send a clear proposal with fixed deliverables. No hidden extras and no bloated retainers.

YouTube is the second biggest search engine in the world. When people are about to make a bigger buying decision they research it, and long-form video lets them get to know you before they ever pick up the phone. Every episode also gives us shorts and reels for your other channels.

Not necessarily. Some of our best performing content features the work rather than the person. That said, brands where the owner appears on camera consistently outperform those that don't, and we will coach you through it.

That is the whole point. We design custom sites that turn the attention your content creates into enquiries, with tools like instant quote calculators, visualisers and lead capture built in. See the T&A Resin build above for an example.

Most new clients are up and running within a week of our first call. Website builds are scheduled as soon as the scope is agreed.

On-site filming is based around Tameside and Greater Manchester. Strategy, editing, YouTube production and web design are available to brands anywhere in the UK.
