@bensonmathu
Creative designer and website developer focused on performance-driven digital marketing and clear, engaging experiences.
What I'm looking for
I’m a creative professional who blends design, website development and management, and digital marketing to help brands stay current and visible. I’ve worked across creative design, online campaigns, and day-to-day website updates while managing communications through WhatsApp, Facebook, and Twitter.
In my current role at Manje Media Ltd, I manage website performance through traffic data analysis and Search Engine Optimization, then keep sites fresh by updating content and restructuring layouts. I also concept and design adverts for both print and digital, and I run online campaigns to support marketing goals.
Earlier, at Victoria Furnitures Ltd, I expanded my reach through social media management and strengthened my digital marketing foundation by managing and running campaigns. I also bring creative and information-focused experience from my internship at the U.S Embassy Nairobi (American Reference Center), alongside training in digital media management, desktop publishing, web programming, and photography.
