Social content creation that grows audiences and sells
Updated October 2026.
Prohibition is a social content creation agency in Leeds. We plan, shoot, design and edit short-form video, reels, graphics, carousels and creator content for TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube and Facebook. For Cheese Artistry UK, short-form video and creator partnerships took its Instagram from 77 to 2,289 followers in seven months with an 8.9% engagement rate. For EQUANS, our LinkedIn content has earned more than 2 million impressions and 9,000 new followers since January 2026.
What is social content creation?
Social content creation is making the posts, video, images and stories your brand publishes on social media, designed for each platform and each audience. Good social content stops the scroll, earns engagement and shares, and moves people towards a visit, a lead or a sale.
What types of social content do we make?
Short-form video and reels, TikTok content, LinkedIn posts and carousels, graphics and animation, product and lifestyle photography, creator and UGC content, live and event coverage, and paid social ads.
Our social content work
We create always-on content and campaigns for brands including EQUANS, Interflora, Cheese Artistry UK, Black Sheep Brewery and RyRy Compact, from a single launch to a full monthly content calendar.
How we can help you
Strategy, creation, amplification, community management and reporting, run by one team.
Social content strategy
We decide which platforms matter, what your brand should sound like on each, which formats to use and how often to post, all from audience research and social listening. It sits within your wider social media strategy.
Campaign amplification
Great content needs to be seen. We boost the best posts with paid social, targeted by location, interests and behaviour. Interflora’s Behind the Blooms films, built on real customer stories, reached more than 3.5 million people at a penny a click.

Creator and influencer content
Creators bring trust and reach. Primula’s TikTok-first creator content, paired with PR, earned 43,000 social engagements and helped win a Morrisons national listing. Our influencer marketing team finds creators by audience fit, not follower count.

Storytelling and production
Our in-house video production team turns ideas into content people want to watch. For Black Sheep Brewery’s Drink Cask Beer campaign, social-first video, influencer talent and PR reached 11 million people and quadrupled brand mentions year on year.
Community management
We reply to comments and messages in your voice, spot issues early and keep your community talking, so followers become customers.
Reporting that shows what works
We report reach, engagement rate, clicks, follower growth and conversions monthly, and show which content performs best so the next month is better. Our Prohibition Insight audits benchmark you against competitors.

Building a brand from a standing start
RyRy Compact was launching a luxury compact car seat with almost no following. We built a parent-led social feed, art-directed a product shoot and made 96 launch assets. In five months its following grew from 100 to 2,342. Cheese Artistry UK gained 2,289 Instagram followers in seven months, from a base of 77, with competitions, paid creator partnerships and premium recipe shoots led by short-form video.

How we turn this into practice
EQUANS, LinkedIn
We plan, create and publish EQUANS UK and Ireland’s LinkedIn content, organic and sponsored, showing its work across the energy, digital and industrial transitions. Since January 2026 it has earned more than 2 million impressions and 9,000 new followers.
Black Sheep, Drink Cask Beer
To win younger drinkers for cask, we made a comedic rap music video with Jester Jacobs as the hero content, cut for every platform. The campaign reached 11 million people and quadrupled brand mentions.



C4 Energy
We built C4 Energy’s UK and European social channels from a standing start to almost 20,000 followers, with athlete-led content, creator partnerships and live event coverage such as its WIT Fitness takeover.
Our creative team also makes content for Interflora, Fentimans, Primula and Autoglym.
