About

I’m Lorri Ritchie, and I set up Socially Mindful. After a 16-year corporate career, I decided it was time for a change. I had a love for all things social media and I realised that I was actually pretty good at using it to raise awareness for causes and events. So, in 2017 I decided to go it alone and set up my own St Albans-based agency to help businesses big and small find their social media voices.

At Socially Mindful, our philosophy is that the secret ingredients in any successful business are connections and relationships. Gone are the days when marketing was a scattergun affair. Now it’s all about creating meaningful bonds with your current and potential customers so that they remain loyal. And this applies to the relationships we have with our own customers as much as the relationships we help our customers forge with their own.

Want the moon on a stick, and want it now? Then we’re probably not going to be a good fit.

Want instant results? Well, we’re not going to promise that either.

Finding your audience, building a relationship with them and turning them into customers takes know-how, testing, and perseverance. Done cleverly, social media is the most cost-effective form of marketing there is. But it takes time and patience. And most of all, it takes experience.

  • “Lorri at Socially Mindful is fantastic at social media management – she has really tuned into my business and continues to do so so that she can post appropriate content and engage with people in the best way too. If you’re a bit protective with your brand then you can be sure that Lorri will look after it which is immensely reassuring. She is also hard-working and kind too and saves me lots of time and headspace which I can put into other aspects of the business. I would highly recommend her services.”

  • “Facebook advertising is a fabulous tool when you know how to use it. But in the wrong hands, without a clear objective and understanding of how to harness its value you can waste a lot of time or money. Lorri has worked hard to build her expertise and become a specialist in Facebook Ads. She genuinely cares about driving results and her dedication shines through. You will be in safe hands if you work with Lorri.  “
