Social Media Campaign Lead (local election)

Freelance Brief: Social Media Campaign Lead (Highbury)

Overview I’m running a focused local campaign in Highbury and looking for a freelance social media lead to turn a strong core message into a high-impact digital campaign.

The campaign is focused on education — including local schools, SEND provision, and the pressures facing families — with an emphasis on clear, practical messaging and local credibility.

I already have a finished leaflet and clear messaging. The role is to translate that into consistent, engaging, locally targeted content.
