Social Media Post specifications

We will create your social post for you unless you specify otherwise. A proof will be sent to you for approval ahead of going live. We will require the following assets:

  • Company Facebook URL (so we can tag you correctly in the post)
  • High-res landscape image(s) as follows to maximise engagement:
    • Single image of a farmer or farm worker
    • Or multiple images showing people/product so that we can create an image carousel
    • Avoid supplying images with wording on them if possible
  • Video – we welcome video, especially of machinery, as it can create much greater engagement
  • If supplying text, please send 50-60 words (we will write post if you do not wish to supply wording)

Please note that we may tweak your copy to match our house style in order to remain consistent with other posts from Farmers Weekly.

Please also note that we can only tag you if you have allowed us to do so in your Facebook preference settings. Please ensure this is done ahead of time or the post will go out without tagging your company (your company will be in the body text of the post instead).
