About Us
We help empower businesses to communicate their brand and tell their story through effective digital marketing strategies.
OUR STORY
Founded in 2013 by Andrew Ford, the ‘e-ttractionist’ marketing expert and business coach, Social Star started as a niche personal branding agency specialising in working with high-level business professionals. Social Star has built brands for CEOs of billion dollar companies, successful entrepreneurs, celebrities, as well as many small business owners and corporate escapees.
Since 2022, we have grown exponentially. This growth has seen us expand our client base to a diverse range of businesses, from career coaches and mentors, to private hospitals, legal firms, local sporting clubs and more.
Our passion for building long-term relationships and amplifying brands enables us to attract great staff who are committed and dedicated to help our clients build their businesses.
WHAT WE DO
DIFFERENTLY
Recruit
We recruit digital natives - young adults eager to kickstart their careers and execute their best work. They have grown up in the digital age of technology so their innovative and creative skills are a tool ready to be leveraged.
Coach
One reason our model works well is that both our CEO and COO have deep experience as University teachers. They know how to mentor, train and coach marketing students to produce high-quality work.
GROW
Social Star understands that each brand and business’s needs are different and unique to your situation. Our team goes through a rigorous process to understand your company’s need prior to placing a student there.
We use our sister company CampusLife to recruit students to our organisation and have an almost unlimited talent pool available to work for us. The future plan is to develop that side of the business to automate the whole process utilising AI and produce trained and motivated marketing coordinators for the business.
Exciting times ahead!
