About Smartist
Smartist stands for 'Social Media Artist'. Lucy, the founder learnt about social media the hard way, using it from the earliest days to sell her own paintings. It turned out that social media combines all the things she is best at - working with images, words, tech and building relationships with people. So, after doing freelance social media marketing for 8 years, Smartist was born in 2020.
Having started the business with two estate agents and rapidly taking on clients in construction and trades, Smartist now specialise in social media for property businesses. Our USP is our creativity. We like to use our artistry and sense of humour to present the most everyday of subjects in a unique and engaging way on social media.
Smartist are a boutique Social Media agency. 'Boutique' means we're small enough for Lucy to retain a direct relationship with every client. We pride ourselves in genuinely understanding our clients, their pain points and their goals. We don't just want to do a good job for our clients - we aim to do an exceptional job and become a vital part of your team.
Why outsource your social media?
It's time to appoint a Social Media agency to run your social media when you know you need social media but you
a) never have time to do it
b) don't have the skills
c) worry about what to write and post
or you simply want to focus on what you do best, the day job!
Outsourcing means you buy in help from specialists who have proven expertise so you know you're spending your money wisely. In 2024 our clients HR Revolution won 'Best Social Media Presence' in their industry awards after we had been helping them for a year. In 2022, our lettings agent client Belvoir won the Marketing Award against 170 competitors and were praised by the judges for their 'creative use of all the marketing tools available to them'. They've since won another 3 awards.

We work with small to medium sized property businesses based in Kent or Sussex because that way we get to know you 'in real life'! An ambitious business owner who wants to grow is an ideal Smartist client.
