What we do

Six things we look after every week

HARBOR is a channel-management agency. We run the day-to-day operation of your social channels so they stay active, consistent and well cared for.

  • Channel strategy

    A clear operating plan for each channel: audience, voice, publishing rhythm and the outcomes we are managing towards.

  • Publishing and scheduling

    Calendar management, scheduling, formatting and quality control so your channels stay consistent week after week.

  • Community management

    Comment monitoring, proactive engagement and thoughtful replies that make your audience feel genuinely looked after.

  • Inbox and customer support

    Direct-message monitoring, approved responses, categorisation and escalation, with response times tracked and reported.

  • UGC management

    Identifying relevant user-generated content, tracking permission, resharing to Stories and feeds with proper attribution.

  • Reporting and insights

    Practical monthly reporting on activity, engagement, inbox volumes, community themes and what to adjust next.

Inbox operations

Every interaction has a lane, an owner and a next move

Incoming messages are sorted into clear actions so replies, escalations, permissions and recurring themes do not get lost.
