More about me

My story

Hi, I'm Claire, I'm enthusiastic, super efficient, hard working and I love making things happen.

So I made the big decision to start my own business in 2017 when I began to realise that I could really make a difference to businesses who wanted to be using social media but just wasn't sure how or just didn't have the resources.

I started off by contacting a catering company just out of the blue to see if they needed any help. I thought they must get so many emails from people just like me, so was really surprised when I got a positive reply!!!. After initial conversations, their main aim was to get into local lunchtime business, but they just were not sure what to do. With my help they were able to break into this space and now have regular orders from the people I was able to introduce them to.

From there I have been lucky enough to build my client base from recommendations and have had the opportunity to really help the clients that I have worked with.

As I said I don't claim to know everything about social media. The landscape is constantly changing and I do believe that a lot of using social is trial and error, but its finding that thing that really works for your company and to keep doing it.

I love challenges and I have bags of enthusiasm and motivation to make things work for my clients. I am not an "agency" and as a result, I can offer a really personalised service that is right for you.

Me outside work

I have two boys who keep me on my toes, there is never a dull moment!!. I also have two little miniature schnauzers who get me out and about on some lovely walks.

I am also mad on fitness, and I can be found 3/4 times a week at spin and boxing. I have always been into my fitness and it is a major part of my life outside work. If I am not at the gym, I'm at the pool or walking the dog, or running around after my kids!!!!.

Who knew I'd have time to start up my own business on top of all of that, but I have!!.

Feedback & Reviews​

Here's just a few comments

”Claire was a customer of mine and we spoke about how I could do more with Google and social media campaigns. She told me what she could do for the business and I decided to go ahead and work with her.
From the start I was very impressed with the professionalism, enthusiasm and ideas Claire had for my business.
She worked on Google Ads, Facebook and Instagram marketing and also set up Facebook campaigns.
We had weekly meetings for us to discuss what was working and how we could improve on anything - stats were given to me and Claire made implementations to aid good quality lead generation.
In a sea of marketing organisations I would highly recommend, and trust Claire and Social Beans to any industry wanting any form of marketing help.
Thank you Claire, you are a pleasure to work with.

”My company has been using Claire for our website SEO recently and has recently asked Claire to take over our Google Ad Management due to the good work that she has done for us so far.

It has been hard for us to find an honest and trustworthy person to manage these duties in the past but we have full confidence in Claire and the work she does. Very communicative, lovely to work with and always on hand when we need anything. I would highly recommend Claire and her services!“

” Employing Claire England is a MUST-HIRE for your business. Her results, expertise and hard work produced new customer leads, sales income & referrals for future business opportunities. From the wide range of marketing & communication activity that Claire delivers, I recommend her social media platform management across Facebook, Twitter & Instagram, her well planned marketing campaign work & creative messaging. For nearly 3 years, she also worked on CRM, PR & events marketing consumer goods & services to large targeted audiences in the sports, fitness & health sector. Claire is very professional, has a can-do attitude, measures results & finds solutions  “

” We used Claire as a social media consultant assisting us with campaigns to increase our followers and for ideas to increase engagement. Claire was great to work with and came up with some excellent and fun campaigns. She also showed us tools to make our social media strategy more effective and was always on hand for advice!“

”I asked Claire for help with the launch of a new company: I needed exposure on social media but had never used Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or Google Ad Words.  Claire was great – she spent time talking to me understanding my vision of the company, explaining how social media worked and conducting research on various options.  Once Claire felt she understood the market she came up with a campaign that covered all platforms within my limited budget.  Claire was professional but very friendly and nothing was too much trouble for her.  I really enjoyed working with her, and I learned a lot from her.  I had to close the company due to ill health but if it had not closed I would have happily continued my working relationship with Claire who would have been an integral part of it going forward.”
