# Ferdy - Full Reference

> Social media automation for venues in Australia and New Zealand.

Ferdy automates the creation and publishing of your repeatable, predictable posts on Facebook and Instagram. It is built specifically for venues - physical places that run a regular programme of weekly, monthly and event-driven content.

Ferdy is built and operated by Ferdy AI Limited, based in New Zealand, serving venues in New Zealand and Australia. LinkedIn, TikTok and X are not currently supported.

## How It Works

1. Strategy & Setup session - A free one-on-one with a Ferdy strategist plans your posting structure (categories, cadence, channels) and loads in your approved media library.
2. Ferdy creates and schedules - Posts are generated from your venue details and rotated across your approved media on a daily, weekly or monthly rhythm, with event countdowns layered in.
3. You approve what goes live - Review, edit, or skip any post before it publishes. Nothing goes out without your sign-off.

## Who It Is For

Ferdy is built for venues that run a regular programme:

- Hospitality & Dining - restaurants, cafés, bars, pubs, breweries, distilleries, wineries, cellar doors
- Accommodation - hotels, motels, lodges, holiday parks, B&Bs, resorts, retreats
- Events & Functions - wedding venues, function centres, conference, convention & exhibition halls
- Workspace & Business - co-working spaces, serviced offices, meeting & training rooms
- Family Entertainment Centres - mini golf, escape rooms, bowling, climbing, go karts, arcades
- Attractions & Experiences - zoos, aquariums, botanic gardens, theme parks, heritage sites, zip wires, bungee
- Arts & Culture - theatres, performing arts centres, cinemas, museums, galleries
- Fitness & Wellness - gyms, health clubs, pilates & yoga studios, day spas

## Time Required

Most venues spend 8+ hours a month on recurring social content. Ferdy reduces that to:

- 60 minutes for the one-time setup (during the free Strategy & Setup session) - connecting accounts, defining post categories and setting the posting schedule
- 15 minutes per month, ongoing - reviewing the auto-generated drafts and approving or tweaking

## Pricing

- Solo plan: NZ$147 per month (+GST) per brand, includes up to 30 automated posts per month
- Multi plan: Custom pricing for groups or agencies managing multiple venues (book a call)

## What Ferdy Is NOT

- Ferdy is not a generic social media scheduler like Buffer or Hootsuite
- Ferdy is not for big creative hero campaigns
- Ferdy is not for thought leadership or opinion pieces
- Ferdy is not for reactive, in-the-moment posts
- Ferdy does not replace your team's creative thinking - it handles the repeatable 80% so your team can focus on the more creative 20%
- Ferdy does not post without your approval
