What I'm looking for

I'm open to fractional social media leadership, influencer program management, and collaborating with founders, marketing managers, and content teams on consistent, community-led, measurable social growth.

I've helped SaaS, fintech, crypto, lifestyle, wellness, and e-commerce brands grow through social media, creator partnerships, and community-led content. As an independent strategist on Upwork, I've earned $120K+ through freelance contracts and fractional roles.

I build content systems, manage communities, source and negotiate with creators, and coordinate UGC deliverables across LinkedIn, X, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. My creator programs have included 50+ collaborations with tracking and sales impact, while my community work has grown audiences from 0 to 110K and scaled another beyond 250K.

Through DRS Digital, I run personal media projects to test content and community playbooks. I grew iamdrsavage to 120K Instagram followers, scaled The Black Girl to 270K+ Instagram followers, and built smartgeek.ng into a tech blog with 250+ articles and about 120K monthly pageviews at its peak.

I've also managed social media for Jumia Travel, creating content, campaigns, outreach, promotions, and ROI reporting. With degrees in Computer Science and Information Technology, I translate technical product features into clear stories people can engage with.
