About Smartist
Our founder Lucy was an artist using social media for marketing. Now she's a Social Media Artist, otherwise known as Smartist.
With 8 years experience as a freelance Social Media Manager at organisations large and small, Lucy founded Smartist in 2020. Smartist has now grown to be a team of 3 with well over a decade of experience in social media marketing.
Having started the business with estate agent clients and rapidly taking on trades and construction businesses, Smartist now specialise in social media for the property sector.
Our USP is our creativity. Creativity with words, images and campaign ideas. We use our artistry and sense of humour to present the most everyday of subjects in an engaging way.
Smartist pride ourselves in genuinely understanding our clients, their pain points and their goals. We work alongside business owners as a trusted member of their team.
We don't just want to do a good job for our clients - we aim to do an exceptional job.
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 marketing but you:
- never have time to do it
- don't have social media skills
- worry about what to write and post
- don't post regularly or consistently enough to see results
or, you simply want to focus on what you do best, the day job!
Buying in the skills of social media experts such as Smartist buys peace of mind:
- You know your social media marketing will be driven by a clear strategy and plan - tailormade to your business.
- You can be confident that your business will have a clear and consistent social media presence.
- Your social media marketing will deliver a return on investment based on your goals.

Who do we work with?
At Smartist we love clients who are as passionate about property as we are. Our team are happy when they're writing about beautiful kitchens and bathrooms, invited to visit a building site or get creative with photos of a new crane. Whether it's property projects or products for homes, we're inspired.
We're based in Tunbridge Wells and work exclusively with clients in Kent and Sussex. We keep our location tight because we want to meet and get to know our clients In Real Life!
When Smartist understand your business, how you work and your audience, we can showcase your business on social media - representing it as it should be seen.
Our ideal client is an ambitious business owner who wants to grow. You may have no marketing department at present or one person who is stretched across all the marketing functions. We can help.
