Read up below about what’s at the top of their bucket lists, what they get up to in their spare time and what it means to them to join SCS, as they settle into life as our new Social Media Managers.
Morgan Sanders – Social Media Manager (R)
Go to takeaway? Hands down, has to be a Dominoes’ or any Pizza takeaway! I could have pizza every day and never get bored. Ps, dominoes cookies are the best.
Favourite band/artist? I absolutely love Jorja Smith!
Last film or series you watched and loved? I recently watched the new James Bond film in the cinema with my Dad & loved it. It was the first time taking my dad back to the cinema after Lockdown & its one of our favourite things to do so it was just great! Typical Bond film, but you can’t go wrong.
What was the first gig/show you went to? I went to see the band Bombay Bicycle club when I was 13 with my friends, which was super fun for our first show together!
Three famous people you’d invite to a dinner party and why? I think for me, I would love to be around Ryan Reynolds for his humour – he cracks me up so much! Also, I’d invite Robin Williams for his wise words, and then also the queen herself Beyonce for obvious reasons.
Dream holiday? My dream holiday is the Bahamas, for the gorgeous scenery but also the Pig beach where they have pigs in the sea!
What’s at the top of your bucket list? I would love to do a skydive for sure! I always remember my dad doing one when I was little, and I asked him to bring me back some clouds for my little memory box.
Favourite social media accounts/bloggers and why? I come from an influencer background & so I have lots of favourite influencer accounts I love. One of my favourite accounts is @meggangrubb, who is a fitness/lifestyle influencer who speaks about mental health & her journey in fitness. I also love @girlsinmarketing & @prettylittlemarketer for inspirational and educational content in the social space.
If you weren’t a Social Media Manager, what would you be? I’m a massive dog lover, so definitely something to do with dogs like a doggy day care centre or working training guide dogs, as my family did when I was younger!
Tell us a random fact about you that few people know… I am massively into weightlifting! I may only be 5’1 ft tall, but I can squat 110kg.
How do you feel about joining South Coast Social? I’m super excited! I’ve moved to Bournemouth to join the team & it’s great to be working with a super lovely team and with some amazing clients!

Mandy Townsend – Social Media Manager (L)
Go to takeaway? Hi, I’m Mandy and I’m a McDonalds addict. But it has to be either a breakfast or a McChicken Sandwich meal with a strawberry milkshake (if they have any in stock, that is).
Favourite band/artist? I love A LOT of classic rock bands and modern indie bands. If I have to pick one, I’d say The Beatles. Classic and timeless. Apart from Yellow Submarine. I feel like that song is in the same league as Crazy Frog.
Last film or series you watched and loved? I recently watched the new season of You. Netflix’s shows get me every time with their cliffhanger endings. I end up binge watching a season in one day and am left wondering what I’m doing with my life.
What was the first gig/show you went to? The first big concert I went to was Green Day at Milton Keynes when they were touring for their American Idiot album. It was the first time I went to a concert without adult supervision and I remember feeling so grown up.
Three famous people you’d invite to a dinner party and why? Ricky Gervais because he’s hilarious and could lighten up any dinner party. Second would be Jane Fonda. I feel like I could learn a lot from her. And finally, I’d invite Victoria Beckham. I’d love to pick her brains about fashion and Spice Girls.
Dream holiday? I’d love to go to Tulum, Mexico and drink margaritas and eat tacos by the beach. I can’t think of a better dream holiday than that.
What’s at the top of your bucket list? Hire a Harley and do a road trip in the US through Route 66 and to the Joshua Tree. I’ll have to get a motorbike licence first though.
Favourite social media accounts/bloggers and why? I love accounts that make me laugh. I love @loveofhuns which is full of British humour. And @influencersinthewild. That account cracks me up, daily.
If you weren’t a Social Media Manager, what would you be? I’d like to think that I would be doing something similar, creatively. Like a copywriter or journalist. My absolute passion is creating content that people enjoy and want to see.
Tell us a random fact about you that few people know… I’m obsessed with Sex And The City. I’m looking forward to the new series more than Christmas.
How do you feel about joining South Coast Social? I’m so honoured to become a part of a great team. I can’t wait to grow our client’s accounts and hit all their social media goals.
