About us
No one else is property-trained.. enough said.
We've come a long way in just 5 years
2022
Following her first role after graduating in Architecture from Nottingham, Kristen began supporting architects with their marketing, which quickly evolved into “Socials by Kristen.”

Kristen partnered with Brandon, an Engineering graduate from Nottingham, bringing together marketing strategy with sales and commercial insight, and committing fully to the AEC sector.

What we do
We’re property-trained marketers building end-to-end systems that actually bring in leads and contracts – no fluff, no faff – we are confident enough to say it how it is.

Our impact
We prove to people burned by generic agencies that a specialist service can actually deliver results.

Core values
Our core values are simple: no fluff, high standards, fast execution, total accountability, and results you can measure.
"SBK really know their stuff! If you have any doubts about using these guys, don't. You won't be let down."
"As a direct result of my Instagram content appearing on a BBC Radio London host’s feed, I was invited onto BBC Radio London, which I am sure will add to my credibility."
"SBK have been fantastic to work with, bringing real clarity to our marketing and social media strategy. Their proactive approach has made a huge difference."
"I would highly recommend them to anyone serious about scaling their business with the right marketing partners."

frequent questions
Do you guys offer a trial?
Yes, we offer a 45-day trial designed to break even while clearly demonstrating the full scope of what we can deliver, how we work, and the results you can expect long term.
Do you do videography & photography?
Yes. We do both photography and videography for property/construction clients – including on-site shoots, drone where appropriate, and edits optimized for platforms like Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, websites and portfolios.
How much do you charge?
Our pricing depends on your goals, services required, and project scale – this is the same as asking for an in-depth build cost without final drawings, scope, or site details. However – our ‘one-line estimates’ range from at minimum £2,000 upwards.
How quickly should we expect to see results?
You should expect to see measurable traction within the 45-day trial period, which is exactly why we structure our trials at that length.
Do you only work with property and construction businesses?
Yes, we work exclusively with property and construction businesses so our strategies, content, and lead generation remain highly targeted and effective.
Do meta ads actually work?
Yes, when supported by the right creative, targeting, and follow-up process, Meta ads are one of the most effective and scalable lead sources in property.
