Most brands don’t have a content problem, they have a positioning and strategy problem. I help B2B and DTC brands turn social media into a structured growth channel, not just a content output. As the founder of Sol Communications, I’ve worked across industries to simplify complex messaging, build clear content strategies, and create social media systems that drive engagement and conversion. My approach focuses on: • Positioning and messaging clarity • Strategy-led content planning • Scalable content creation • Continuous optimisation based on performance I’ve supported brands across LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, and X. Helping transform attention into meaningful engagement, and engagement into measurable growth. If you’re looking for a long-term partner to build and scale your content, not just someone to post. Let’s connect.

𝟱+ 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗚𝗼𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 | 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 Clear converts. Clever confuses. That's the rule I build by. For the last 5+ years, I’ve built and managed GoHighLevel systems behind the scenes for large marketing agencies, working across multiple client accounts and real-world setups, not just demo templates. My focus is simple: build a lead journey that actually works. From a lead’s first click, to booking, to purchase - I set up the routing, automations, and follow-ups so nothing slips through the cracks (and you’re not stuck babysitting workflows). I’m not big on marketing fluff. I’ll dig into workflow logs, triggers, and data to find what’s breaking, why it’s inconsistent, and how to rebuild it into something reliable. ✅ What I Can Help You With Lead Journey Buildout (End-to-End): Map + build the exact path your leads should take, start to finish GHL Setup & Clean Structure: Account organization that makes sense for daily operations (pipelines, calendars, tags, triggers) Automation Troubleshooting: Find the “leak” in broken/inconsistent workflows and fix it properly Follow-Up Systems That Convert: Smart SMS/email nurturing sequences based on actions + timing Native GHL AI + Booking Bots: Set up SMS/Webchat booking bots using GHL’s built-in tools (so you’re not forced into extra third-party software) 🔧 Tools I work with GoHighLevel (GHL) | Workflows & Triggers | Pipelines/CRM | Calendars | Forms/Surveys | SMS/Email | Webchat + GHL AI tools 📆 How I work You bring the goal + offer + rules — I’ll build the routing and follow-up logic to make it run smoothly in production. If you’ve got a workflow that fires randomly, a system that feels messy, or you want a lead journey built right the first time, send me a message and tell me what you want the lead to do step-by-step.
