Social Media and Content Management in Spain

Social media management in Spain differs from running an account in Türkiye in two ways: language and calendar. If the audience is the Turkish community, content is in Turkish; if it's local customers, Spanish; if it's tourists or an international audience, English. Most businesses have more than one of these audiences, and balancing them on the same account is a job in itself.

On the calendar side, Spain has its own rhythm. Semana Santa, the August holidays, Christmas and the Reyes period on January 6 directly affect shopping and booking behavior. In Catalonia, local dates such as Sant Jordi on April 23 and La Mercè at the end of September also matter. For accounts aimed at the Turkish community, Ramadan and Eid al-Adha, national team matches and Turkish concerts are part of the agenda.

I manage Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and LinkedIn accounts and run the content calendar, production, posting and community management from one place. My video experience comes from the field: I shoot and edit my YouTube channel about life in Spain myself. Content like a day on the streets of Barcelona or a guide to moving to Spain shows me what the local audience clicks on.

Since most customer communication in Spain runs through WhatsApp, we connect social media accounts to WhatsApp Business and make sure no message goes unanswered. What we measure isn't likes, but incoming messages, bookings and sales.

Common Questions

Should I open separate accounts for Turkish and Spanish?

If the audiences really are separate, yes, separate accounts work more cleanly. If the audience is mixed, a single account can use bilingual posts or alternate languages. We decide by looking at your current follower data.

Do you shoot the content yourself?

We can plan shoots together in Barcelona and the surrounding area. In other cities, we work with footage you shoot or with a local film crew; editing and publishing stay with me.

Do I need content in Catalan?

In Catalonia, Catalan content builds trust for some businesses that speak to a local audience, but for most businesses Spanish is enough. We decide based on your sector and customer profile.

Do you buy followers?

No. Bought followers lower engagement, distort ad targeting and damage the account's credibility. Growth comes from content and, when needed, from ads.

Which brands and artists have you worked with?

I've run the digital strategy, music distribution and official websites for Murat Boz, Ebru Gündeş and Emre Altuğ. On the brand side, I've worked on the Ford Otosan × İlhan Şeşen AI-powered campaign (MIXX Awards 2017) and with Mercedes-Benz, Koton, Avşar Film, Medyapım, Model Sanayi Merkezi, Alpet, Kadoil, Kadooğlu Holding and Damat Tween.
