I met Chris at LEP's pop-up cafe at Exa Networks last week. It was a quick twenty minutes initial chat, however I did learn some interesting and useful information from him which I have started to implement. I am beginning to create a strategy around the videos I'm making with the aim of generating sales, and as soon as my website is done I will dive in deep and have a go at Facebook ads to see what I can discover and generate! I even did a short video outside the building when I left to see if I can do a short one, just as he showed me. Turns out I can! Thank you, I really appreciate the time you gave to me and others like me, it is so valuable to get a taste of the advice available in an easy and relaxed way. Juliette Anne More...

I attended an 'Introduction to Social Media' Course run by Shoo Social Media at York College. The course was well presented, easy to understand and very informative. It gave me a good overview of the different social media platforms available to small businesses. Chris, the trainer, was very helpful, pleasant and made everyone feel at ease so there were lots of questions and discussion during the training session. Thanks for great course, very useful. More...

What do you love most about your job?
We are very passionate about helping and giving back to the local community here at Shoo. We have worked with various community organisations to help them either get started in their business by offering them offer space in our shop window yes, that’s correct we have a shop window here in Ben Rhydding, Ilkley.
We are on the high street quite unusual for a social media agency! As our work involves us being online instead branding it all up in Shoo imagery we have given this space back to our local community. How amazing is that and it is all free for them to visually merchandise their products from local artists, photographers, to local pre-school groups in Ilkley and Ben Rhydding this is a great opportunity for everyone with commuters travelling to Leeds and Bradford on the train we have great footfall passed our window or should I say our window of opportunity. If you’re interested in taking the window please get in touch with team Shoo and we would like it for you to have an opportunity in our window.
We have worked on various projects around the town of Ilkley such as volunteering for the Ilkley Business Forum, helping Ilkley Arts with their social media marketing and running various projects to support shop local campaigns in the town.
What inspired you to start your own business?
We set up Shoo Social Media Ltd because we recognised that there was a gap in the market in understanding how to get the best out of social media. Setting up the business not only allowed us to enjoy what we are doing but to really make a difference and help those aspiring and serious SME businesses.
Rachel Hatfield – Director
Having an extensive career in the meetings and events industry for the last 15 years including a BA (hons) in International Hospitality Business Management from Leeds Beckett University and MSc International Conference Management from Sheffield Hallam University and career with various corporate companies: Marriott International, Accor Hotels (Sydney Olympic Park), InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), The Eton Collection and the most prestigious Edinburgh Castle.
Along with experience working on the Brand Yorkshire conference and BiY (Business in Yorkshire) I understand the importance of delivering great customer service during your meetings and events. With my experience in international and national venues, I fully recognize the importance of large groups of people being moved around, which is a challenge in itself! Destination management can be a challenge wherever you are, having worked in key locations e.g. Edinburgh, London and Sydney then back home to Ilkley I have seen it all!
Chris Morris – Director
Having retired from teaching at the grand ‘old age’ 33 I decided to found Shoo with Rachel in 2014 whilst still teaching. Entrepreneurship has always been an interesting concept to me, the challenge, the glory, being in charge of my own destiny. My teaching experience has been invaluable to delivering high quality training to the needs of all those I am helping. Supporting and leading others has always come natural to me – from the football pitch, to teaching and now to the world of social media.
I have helped the company grow substantially and manage a client base with core values that mirror my own. Throughout this growth period I have had opportunity to continue to coach, train and mentor as well as teach through a variety of ways, training, workshops, public speaking and 1:1 sessions, all of which thoroughly energize me.
