Where It All Began
@thriftytipsandtripsmum was born in July 2023! As a fenland girl with a passion for social media, thrifty living and family adventures, my social media pages were initially created as a hobby and maintained in my free time whilst I worked as a part time marketing manager for a local salon and spa. Since then and with little time to spare these days, I’ve grown my social following to almost 14k organic followers, by sharing budgeting tips, thrifty living hacks and reviews of kid friendly trips and activities - all while balancing mum life and my work, something I'm very proud of. I've also used the platform to raise awareness around unique parenting journeys, by inviting fellow mums to share their stories on my page in a mini series called 'Diary of a Mum', as well as highlighting our own journey with our son's speech delay (which, luckily for us, has since improved greatly and for that we are so grateful). In that time, I’ve created multiple viral reels for both myself and clients, several with over 1 million views (one, even hit 2 million)!

More About Thrifty
My content has been featured twice in the national press online, including 'The Daily Mirror' and 'The Sun' and I’m immensely proud to have a weekly slot on BBC Lincolnshire radio as well as a monthly column, in two local magazines, reaching 27,000 homes. Within a few months of growing my online accounts, I began receiving enquiries for help with social media growth, advice and strategy. This led me to start freelancing alongside my part-time job as a social media manager for a hair and beauty salon. After nine months of juggling both, the salon became a client and I made the leap to full-time self-employment and created Chase Media and Social.
Now, I run my social media management business while continuing to grow my Thrifty Tips and Trips page when there's a spare minute (basically never, because my clients always come first). It’s become my personal brand, fuelling my column, radio slot and my love for engaging with an amazing online community. To work together and utilise the audience I've built, please feel free to reach out, I would love to hear from you!
