Platform guide — which channels we manage

Not every platform is right for every Sri Lankan business. Here's what each delivers and which package includes it.

Why content quality is the biggest variable

Two businesses can spend the same on social media and get completely different results. The difference is almost always content quality — not budget.

• Original design vs templates. Stock template posts are immediately recognisable. Original brand-specific design builds trust.
• Native Sinhala copy vs translation. Machine-translated Sinhala reads as unprofessional. Native writers sound credible.
• Video-first strategy. Reels and TikTok consistently get 3–5× more reach than static posts.
• Local cultural relevance. Avurudu, Vesak, Ramadan, cricket season — local context outperforms generic content.
• Consistent brand voice. A consistent tone and aesthetic builds follower loyalty and signals quality to the algorithm.
