Hi all, 

Callum from Gleni here to give you a Gleni Update 01/26.

Branding -
Social Media - As of January we have redesigned and resized our social media posts to meet the new format. We are trying to make our content feel more personable and relatable.

Instagram - As of last year we made changes to how we post on our Instagram. To stop the confusion between my three Instagrams, I have decided to rename GleniBakes Instagram to gleni.co.uk and then rename the old gleni.co.uk to GleniBakes from there I have deactivated GleniChocolatier and GleniBakes so I can focus on one account and ensure less confusion between accounts.

Hope this makes sense and please check which account you where following, please make sure it's @gleni.co.uk.
 
Threads - We have stopped using Threads (Instagram) as we have decided that we would rather focus on Feed on our website. These are deactivated to stop confusion.

TikTok & Facebook - No changes.

Recap of our socials:
Facebook - @gleni.co.uk
Instagram - @gleni.co.uk
TikTok - @gleni.co.uk

From April of 2025 we have been using OpsWB (affiliate) for scheduling and managing social media posts. It has been a absolute game changer to keep up with our online presents.

Seasonal - Gleni Advent, once again, we were a great success with all our festive posts and exclusive content over the festive period with returning and new supporters. Our new Advent Calendar for 2025 was released in December. This is a nice feature to our site as it allowed are users and viewers to open a advent style door every day leading up to Christmas. We hope you had a Tinsel-tastic great Gleni Advent and enjoyed our new Advent Calendar.

We are always working hard on our platform improvements to provide the best user experience. There will be lots more exciting website features coming later this year! Keep your eyes peeled.
