What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to drive impactful marketing strategies in a collaborative environment, focusing on innovation and growth.

As a dynamic marketing professional with over a decade of experience, I have successfully transitioned from a legal background to become the founder and CEO of The Social Tie, a marketing agency dedicated to providing high-quality solutions for SMEs. My journey has been marked by a commitment to delivering measurable results and driving client growth through innovative campaigns and strategic marketing solutions.

Throughout my career, I have led multiple branding and marketing initiatives across various industries, achieving significant milestones such as increasing revenue for a US-based jewelry retailer from $2,500/month to $10,000/month. My expertise in digital strategy, creative direction, and client management has enabled me to onboard over 30 long-term clients, establishing a solid reputation in the marketing landscape. I am passionate about mentoring teams and fostering a culture of creativity and collaboration, ensuring the continued success of my agency in a competitive market.
