Content rooted in place. Stories told with care.
The Studio
I work with a small number of premium lifestyle brands, helping them show up consistently, tell their story compellingly and connect with the people who matter most to them.
Through social media management, content creation and brand photography, I take the pressure of building an online presence completely off your plate, so you can focus on what you do best.
I'm based in Evercreech, Somerset — on the edge of where Somerset, Wiltshire and Dorset meet — which means the brands I love working with are practically on my doorstep. I understand this landscape, its rhythms and its people. Which means I understand your brand from the inside, not just from a brief.
Who I work with.
Producers and makers. Farm shops and delis. Vineyards and estates. Gardens and outdoor spaces. Hospitality venues and lifestyle brands. Independent retailers with something worth saying.
If your brand is rooted in quality, provenance and the pleasure of doing things properly, we'll probably get along very well.
I'm happy to work independently or alongside your existing team, whatever works best for you.
What I do.
Social Media Management Instagram and Facebook, planned, written, scheduled and managed on your behalf. Consistent, on-brand and built around your audience and your seasons. No more going quiet during your busiest months or posting without a plan.
Content Creation Captions, copy, hashtags, stories and reels, written and created in your brand voice. Content that feels genuinely yours, not like it came from a template.
Brand Photography Half day shoots capturing your product, your place and your people. Professional stills alongside iPhone B-roll footage for reels and stories, everything you need from a single visit. Images built to work across social media, your website, press and publications.
Seasonal Strategy Every brand has a rhythm, spring arrivals, summer abundance, harvest season, the long run into Christmas. I plan content around yours, so you're always ahead of the season rather than catching up with it. This is where genuine local knowledge makes a real difference.
Newsletter A monthly email that deepens the relationship with your audience beyond social media. Seasonal, warm and personal, the kind of email people actually read.
How I work.
No long contracts. A simple monthly retainer with one month's notice on either side.
We start with a strategy session to map your content pillars, tone of voice, audience and seasonal calendar. From there I take ownership — you stay involved through a monthly meeting, but the day to day is handled.
Meetings can be in person or on Zoom, whatever works for you.
I work with a maximum of six brands at any one time. That's intentional. It keeps the work focused, the photography unhurried and my attention genuinely yours.

A little about me
I'm Gemma, a content creator, photographer and brand storyteller based in the heart of Somerset.
I've spent years immersed in seasonal living, outdoor culture, food, drink and the kind of brands that make everyday life more considered and more beautiful. I don't just manage your social media — I understand your world, your customer and your story from the inside.
I'm also The Duchess of Picnics, which probably tells you everything you need to know about where my heart is and the world I inhabit.
I bring that same genuine passion and knowledge to every brand I work with. Because the best content isn't created from a desk. It's created from a life well lived in exactly the right place.
Working with a small number of brands by introduction and referral. If you'd like to explore working together — hello@gemmaduckstudio.com
