Social Media Management Packages & Pricing for New Zealand Businesses
Explore MyBrandE’s social media management packages for businesses across New Zealand. Whether you need one platform managed or a full multi-platform presence, each plan gives you strategy, content, and consistent posting, priced to fit a real small business budget.
Choose Your Plan
Every package is priced upfront, so you know exactly what you’re getting before you commit. The right one for you depends on how many platforms you need managed, how much content your business needs each month, and how hands-on you want your community engagement to be.
| Features | Starter$199/month | Growth$399/monthMost Popular | Premium$699/month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best For | Businesses that need one platform managed consistently, with simple, reliable posting. | Growing businesses that want two platforms, more content, and active community engagement. | Established businesses that want a full-service presence, including video content and daily local visibility. |
| Platforms | 1 platform (Facebook or Instagram) | 2 platforms (Facebook and Instagram) | 3 platforms (Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn) |
| Posts Per Month | 8 static image posts | 12 posts, including carousels | 12 posts, including carousels, plus 2 short-form videos |
| Stories | Not included | 4 per month | Weekly |
| Community Group Posting | Not included | Not included | Daily posting in up to 2 relevant local Facebook groups |

Each tier adds real platforms, content volume, and engagement work, not just a different label on the same output.
Need a Custom Social Media Plan?
Our three packages each cover a complete monthly plan on their own. If you need paid ad management alongside your organic content, our Social Ad Campaign Pack covers that separately. If your platform mix or content needs don’t quite fit a standard tier, get in touch and we’ll shape a plan around what your business actually needs.
What Affects Social Media Management Pricing
Social media management costs increase with the number of platforms managed, the volume and type of content produced each month, and how much ongoing community engagement is involved. Video content and daily community group posting both take significantly more time than a batch of static posts, which is why they’re priced separately rather than folded into a flat rate.
That’s why Starter focuses on one platform with straightforward posting, Growth adds a second platform and business-hours community management, and Premium covers a full three-platform presence with video content, daily local group visibility, and extended community engagement.
MyBrandE vs Freelancer and New Zealand Local Agency
Choosing between a freelancer, a local NZ agency, and MyBrandE usually comes down to a few core factors: what you pay upfront, the actual quality of the work, and whether you are locked into a rigid contract. Here’s exactly how we stack up.
| What Matters | Freelancer | New Zealand Local Agency | MyBrandE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contract terms | Often informal, but inconsistent availability and no guaranteed output | 6 to 12 month lock-in required in most cases | Month-to-month, no lock-in contract, keeping us accountable to deliver results |
| Work quality & Reliability | Good ones exist, but finding a reliable, local expert freelancer who actually posts on time is incredibly difficult | Often charge premium retainers ($2,000 to $5,000+) but pass off cheap-looking, generic, recycled posts as custom work | Highly professional, 2026-standard custom content tailored exactly to your brand voice and strategy |
| Content clarity | Post volume and content type often vague or negotiated ad hoc | Package inclusions frequently unclear until quoted | Exact post count, platforms, and content type stated upfront |
| Pricing difference | Cheap upfront but often costs more in missed opportunities and delayed work | Prohibitive for most small businesses, typically charging massive monthly retainers | Priced specifically for small business budgets, delivering agency-quality consistency without the bloated overhead |
| Payment structure | Usually full monthly invoice paid upfront | Full month’s fee typically required in advance | Split into weekly payments instead of one upfront invoice to protect your cash flow |
| Platform coverage | Often limited to one platform due to time constraints | Varies by agency, multi-platform usually costs significantly more | 1 to 3 platforms depending on package, clearly stated |
| Pricing clarity | Rates vary widely and are rarely published | Custom quotes mean final cost is often unclear until work begins | Fixed monthly price per package, agreed before you commit |
What Makes MyBrandE Worth Choosing
Every plan is built around actually getting posted, not just planned and left sitting in a content calendar. Strategy, content creation, and posting are all handled within the price shown, with video and community group posting scoped and priced honestly rather than bundled in for free.
You’re not asked to commit to a long-term contract to get started, and there are no surprise add-ons once your plan begins. What’s listed is what you get.
