Hello!
I'm Simon also known as SM6 Social. I'm a content creator driven by a passion for visual storytelling, creative strategy, and the dynamic world of social media. I thrive on crafting engaging narratives that resonate with audiences, particularly through the power of short-form video and event photography.
My experience spans both freelance projects for diverse businesses and organizations, as well as impactful work within the Cultural Sector at Sutton Council's Cultural Services. I specialize in producing captivating video content, from promotional pieces and insightful interviews to trend-driven behind-the-scenes glimpses and mesmerizing timelapse videos and capturing events
Behind the lens, I'm proficient in shooting with mirrorless and DSLR cameras. In the editing suite, I leverage my strong skills in Adobe Premiere Pro to refine visuals with meticulous color correction and enhance them with compelling music.
Beyond content creation, I bring a robust background in creative strategy and social media management. As a Digital Engagement Assistant at Sutton Council, I spearheaded the social media presence for Sutton Heritage, implementing a video-centric content strategy that significantly boosted follower growth – 78% on Facebook and 63% on Instagram. This success was achieved through the production of visually engaging short-form videos and Instagram Reels, including interviews, promotional features, and behind-the-scenes content.
I'm a highly motivated self-starter, adept at working independently and consistently meeting deadlines. My core strength lies in building strong client relationships, fostering collaboration, and adapting to individual needs with flexibility and understanding.

Photography
An enormous thank you for the portraits, they are stunning!
Bethany, Ruckus Theatre Company
Videography
I didn't even realise he was filming to that detail until I saw the finished video. He was considerate as he moved around the venue, natural in capturing those special moments and took the time to understand the business beforehand, so it could be fully represented in the finished video.
Camille, Lovingly Bestowed
Social Media Content Creation
He brings creativity, passion, and diligence to everything he gets involved with. His design skills are easily seen, but it's his people skills that really set him apart in my mind.
