Status Social

We were one of the UK’s first specialist social media consultancies when we formed in Derby in January 2011 and have helped our clients generate more than £20m in sales through social media.

We are not your typical social media trainers and advisors. We believe that smart strategies and clever tactics should deliver better results—while spending less time on social media itself.

In addition to helping businesses generate leads and sales (through platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and X), we also run social media customer engagement workshops and help organisations recruit more effectively through social platforms.

Co-founder Mark Saxby—a former award-winning BBC and ITV journalist—is a seasoned professional speaker, delivering talks across the UK on how to achieve results through social media and how to enjoy a healthier tech-life balance in both business and everyday life.

Mark and his wife, Kerry, also lead the national charity Positive Social, which supports children across the UK in making better decisions about how they use social media.

Derby needs an organisation like Marketing Derby to show the world just how incredible the city’s businesses are. We love referring other organisations in Derby—and it’s the Bondholder events that help us discover the amazing things happening across the local business community.
