The Challenge

System One Travel needed organic social media engagement across Greater Manchester's diverse transport network. Rather than selling tickets transactionally, they needed a content strategy that resonated with audiences by showcasing destinations and experiences.

  • maintaining consistent brand voice

  • evolving content seasonally without defaulting to promotional messaging

  • Engage with local businesses and the area that can be reached by public transport

What we did

  • Created seasonal content calendar showcasing Manchester destinations and events

  • Developed diverse content highlighting bus, tram, and train accessibility

  • Maintained consistent posting schedule across multiple social channels

  • Focused on inspiration-led content over transaction-focused messaging
