Does your biz need help standing out on the ‘Gram and on Facebook? It’s time to let the social media management professionals take over. We caught up with the team of Social U to find out how they’re helping local business across Birmingham level up their social media game.

Who is Social U?

While we all like to think we’re crushing the social media world with our random selfies and adorable pet photos, running a successful business page is much trickier. It takes evolving knowledge of social trends and analytics, just the right creative finesse to capture and grow an audience, plus time—something most of us simply don’t have enough of. 

This is where Social U comes in. 

Created by Caryn Terradas in 2008, Social U is made up of a team of marketing pros who help businesses manage and maintain their social media platforms. 

“We save business owners time and the frustration that can come from managing your social media while simultaneously trying to run your business. Many times we are often less expensive than hiring one full-time employee and we bring the expertise and experience of a full team.” 

Caryn Terradas, Founder and CEO, Social U

What I also love about Social U is that they offer tons of free tips via their blog and social media platforms. They aren’t posting anything snooze-worthy, either. Their social media is highly entertaining, so be prepared for lots of laughs while learning key tips and tricks.

Services Offered

So what services does Social U offer? Here’s a look:

• Consulting to assess your current social media presence, provide professional marketing advice to optimize your accounts and build your brand
• Training to equip you to build your online presence and strengthen your brand awareness
• Social Media Management to provide you with an entire team of marketing professionals that will manage and monitor your social media platforms
