My story

About me

I’m Heather Young, founder of Thrive Social Studio. I free up busy business owners like you by crafting authentic, high impact social media experiences.

Me

I’m Heather, the person behind Thrive Social Studio.
When you work with me, you’re not being passed from team to team. I’m the one managing your content, planning your campaigns, keeping track of the moving parts, and actually showing up to support you. I’m here to make the process clearer and more aligned with how you want to show up with your business.

My Story

It didn’t start with a business plan just me messing around with design during uni and realising I actually loved it. I had no clue what I was doing, but it felt right and I kept going. That one random project turned into a proper interest and it made more sense to me than anything else had.
Later I worked in a small agency where everything moved quickly. I picked up a lot not just content but how hard it is behind the scenes running a business. I saw how business owners were constantly spinning plates, trying to stay on top of things while wearing about ten hats. That stuck with me.
It made me realise that content and strategy aren’t just about making things look good they’re about giving people breathing room. That’s why I started white labelling and offering support in the background. I found my place in helping things run better whilst quietly taking tasks off people’s plates, keeping things consistent and making sure the creative side didn’t slip through the cracks.
I don’t try to do everything anymore. I focus on the parts I enjoy and do best. Content planning, creative direction and making things feel clear.

My Approach

  • Working the way I do helps me stay flexible and keep growing rather than sticking to just one role. When we collaborate, it’s never only about getting things done. It’s about deeply understanding your business, your goals, and your expectations, so the content I create feels authentic and aligned with your brand.
