About Tempo

Tempo Social is a content marketing studio from Toby Chishick, providing social content marketing and services for small businesses, theatre, trades and music, as well as brands. Based in Kent, Toby works with clients and marketing agencies to support their teams on projects, campaigns or one-off shoots, as well as managing a few clients of his own.

With 20 years' experience making content and working in social media marketing for a variety of businesses and brands, Toby understands the challenges that come with building a presence on social media and creating content that people want to see and engage with. He built Tempo Social off the back of working in agencies ranging in size from 6 people to 600, learning from those experiences and seeing what works and what doesn't.

In 2026 we find ourselves in the age of AI, which brings huge opportunities as well as challenges for marketers. With 'social media slop' spreading across every platform, it's more important than ever to create real, human content that people connect with. This technological revolution also gives every business amazing tools to support them, which is why Toby decided to create an AI agent team to optimise admin and operations for Tempo.

Content and marketing from experienced humans, admin and support from a well trained AI team

All the work is made by Toby: the strategy, the creative ideas, the filming, the editing, all the content! But behind the scenes, a small and efficient AI team keeps the admin moving, helps run the office and manages deadlines. Toby has created each member of his team to handle specific admin tasks, so he can focus on making the best possible work and live up to the Tempo mantra:
Quality Content at the Speed You Need!
