For the person who looks after social media
You might be a marketing manager at a growing business, a team of one, or the owner doing it all yourself. Social media is one part of a busy job, and there's nobody senior to ask when you're stuck.
Membership gives you that person. Alison has spent 15 years working on social media for brands from Heineken to independent pubs, and she'll help you make the right calls on your own channels.

Tell Rich what you're working on and where you're stuck. If Membership suits you, he'll get you set up. If something else would suit you better, he'll say so.
Alison gets to know you
She looks at your channels, goals and plans first, so your first call goes straight to the things that will make a difference.
Meet every month
Your hour with Alison, the masterclasses and email support in between. Stay for as long as it's useful.
Your 2027 social media masterclasses

What clients say about working with Alison
I had monthly membership calls with Alison at Avocado Social for a year and they were incredibly helpful. She provided great guidance on all my questions which really built my confidence & skill set in my marketing role. Alison was also key in getting me properly set up on our Meta Business Suite account, something we'd previously been unable to do, and it's now a tool I use every day. I also found the Social media updates & trend seminars really interesting. Highly recommend!
“Avocado Social's webinars are fantastic! Alison packs them full with great insights and tips that you can start implementing immediately. So glad I joined their membership this year. It's a must for social media managers.”
“The world of Social Media is changing so so fast! As a Marketing Agency - Marketing Foods - we oversee a number of client accounts - and let's be honest here, without the expert up-to-date knowledge and help from Alison and Richard at Avocado Social we would be at serious risk of lagging behind. They are experts at (food pun warning) sorting the wheat from the chaff and giving you the trends and insights you need and the inspiration & motivation to ensure your content is right on it. We can't recommend them highly enough.”
“The Avocado Social webinars that I'm lucky enough to access through their membership, are super valuable. I get loads of ideas and inspiration thanks to the knowledge that Alison and the team shares.”
“Avocado Social has been a mainstay of our social media team at the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) for several years now - their impact has been incredible. A few examples: keeping us across trends and best practice in this fast-evolving area; providing training to all our team in topics including navigating paid advertising on LinkedIn, the ever-changing Twitter/X, ideas for posts that stand out, I could go on! Alison has helped us stay on top of it and deliver game-changing posts and themes across all our social media accounts. She helps us with new ideas and advises what works. I told her last week that she'd revolutionised the EBU social feeds - and that is about the size of it!”
“We had a great experience working with Richard and Alison. They are seriously knowledgeable, quick to respond and were 100% committed to improving our ROI on social media spend. I can't recommend them highly enough.”
“Working with Alison at Avocado Social has given our social media a new lease of life! Our monthly strategy calls are great for reflecting on campaign learnings as well as a springboard for new ideas. Alison brings excellent insight and a fresh approach to these sessions - we feel really well supported.”

Questions about Membership
How much does Membership cost?
£200 + VAT a month, and that covers one person. For comparison, a single 2-hour consultancy session with Alison is £400, and one masterclass booked on its own is £99 + VAT.
Is there a minimum term?
No. Membership rolls on month to month, so you can join for a month and see how it fits. You can pause or leave whenever you like.
What happens on the monthly call with Alison?
It's an hour one-to-one on Zoom, and you set the agenda. You might bring a campaign that's about to launch, last month's numbers, ads that aren't delivering or a report you need to present. You'll leave knowing what to do next.
I'm not a social media specialist. Is Membership still for me?
Yes. Members include business owners doing their own social media, marketing managers who fit it around everything else, and full-time social media managers. Alison pitches each call at your level, and the masterclasses are practical and jargon-free.
What's the difference between Membership and the Season Ticket?
The Season Ticket gives you the 12 live masterclasses and the monthly update round-ups for 2027, paid once for the year. Members get each month's masterclass and round-up too, plus a monthly hour with Alison, a strategy review, email support between calls and the WhatsApp community. If you mainly want training, choose the Season Ticket. If you want help with your own work, choose Membership.
What if I only need help with one thing?
A one-to-one consultancy session might suit you better. It's a single 2-hour session with Alison on Zoom for £400, with a questionnaire beforehand and follow-up notes afterwards. It works well for a launch or one specific problem.
Can colleagues join too?
Membership is for one person, so the calls stay focused on your work. If you'd like support for a wider team, mention it on your discovery call and we'll talk through the options.
What if I miss a masterclass?
You'll get the recording and slides, available for 30 days after the session.
Who will I be working with?
Alison Battisby, our founder. She runs every monthly call and every masterclass herself.
How do I join?
Book a discovery call with Rich. It's a relaxed chat about what you need. If Membership suits you, he'll get you set up, and if something else would suit you better, he'll tell you.
