The team at six underground media is your one-stop online shop for all the social media tiles you’ll ever need. Hayley is an ex-hairdresser turned marketing guru that creates digital products to elevate how your brand looks online.
I personally have hired the team at six underground media for several and varied projects to help create branded content for my education biz digital promotions. These have included unique social media tiles, banners for EDM’s, plus animated GIF’s and social media advertising advise. What I love about the custom tiles is that they are editable, so I can reuse them by adding text in a program like Canva. It’s that easy!
Six Underground Media has also created contracts for Colour Corrections and Influencer agreements that can be changed to suit your needs. Examples offered within my show notes as the freebie download on my website www.kristinarussell.com.au

Pinterest, when used with URLs and web links, can drive so much traffic to your page + you can auto-link your salon’s insta to Pinterest to save you time.
Canva is a great program to edit tiles and add branding to all your social media posts, including her fabulous editable tiles
