Pretoria's local social studio

The local social studio that actually shows up.

We come to your shop, kitchen, or studio, capture what's actually happening, and turn those real moments into social your neighbourhood recognises. Not stock. Not templates. The real thing.

From R10k a month. No contract to find out where you stand.

Your business, filmed where it actually happens

Real footage from your real space, the kind people stop scrolling for.

01The bar moved

People now decide where to eat, shop and book by what they see online. And they can smell generic.

02Why most social falls flat

Whatever you're doing now has the same flaw: nobody's actually there.

The same Pexels stock photos and videos. AI-sounding captions riddled with hashtags and em dashes. The same Canva templates a dozen other businesses are also running. It's cheap because it's generic, and it's generic because nobody set foot in your business.

The Kien way
Your options Do it yourself Cheap freelancer Kien
Shows up in person No time Works remotely Every month
Content that's actually yours Phone snaps Stock & templates Filmed on site
Stays consistent Goes quiet Vanishes mid-month One accountable person
Price Your time R3–6k, you get what you pay for From R10k

There's also the big agency at R50k+ a month. But small brands can't carry that, and rarely see the ROI to justify it. Kien gives you someone who actually shows up, at a price that makes sense for a local business.

One of these could be any business. The other is yours.

07Meet the founder

The "Kien" behind Kien Socials

The name came from a slip of the tongue. Christine's little nephew couldn't quite manage her name, and "Kien" is what came out. It stuck. (It's also Afrikaans for sharp and switched-on, which felt about right.)

Kien Socials is Christine's own thing. After years in a 9-to-5 that paid the bills but didn't light her up, this is her step into doing work she loves, for local businesses she genuinely cares about.

That's exactly why the work is good. When you're not account number 47 at a big agency, every business matters, and every visit counts. You deal with Christine directly. Nothing gets lost.

"Your business deserves to show up consistently, and show up real. Let me take that off your plate."

09Good to know

Questions, answered honestly.

01

Is the audit really free?

Yes. No catch, no card. We review your socials and send real feedback. It's how we show you what working together feels like.

02

What does "show up in person" actually mean?

We come to your space in Pretoria and film the real thing: your kitchen, your floor, your product, your people. That footage is what makes your content yours.

03

Am I locked into a contract?

No long contract. Kien runs month-to-month with one month's notice, so you're never trapped. We'd rather earn your stay than lock you in.

04

Why is it cheaper than a big agency?

Because we're local. There's no crew to fly in and no big-city overhead. Being in Pretoria is exactly what lets us be in the room and keep the price fair.

05

Who actually does the work?

Christine, directly. You get real production value, and one person who actually knows your business and your customers.

06

Are you only in Pretoria?

Pretoria and surrounds for now, close enough to actually show up. As we grow, so does the map. If you're nearby, let's talk.
