NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a social media and marketing professional who supports marketing teams with day-to-day social media management for multiple clients and partners. I complete market research, identify and engage key influencers, and keep a close watch on social media presence to drive consistent daily outreach.
As an owner of Mysportsgist.com, I developed weekly sport-news content and posted at least 15 tweets per week. I also grew Twitter followers by 27% in the first four months and focused on generating weekly engagement through timely, repeatable publishing.
Earlier roles strengthened my communications foundation through media relations and social media/communications leadership. I monitored and posted across blogs, forums, and social networks, performed online outreach using Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, and contributed to media plan, budget, and campaign materials—always balancing speed with careful attention to detail.
