What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead social strategy and content creation for tech or digital-first brands, leveraging AI and data to scale engagement and community growth while collaborating cross-functionally.

I am a results-driven Social Media Manager with over five years' experience leading multi-platform content strategies for tech, VC, startup, and digital-first brands. I specialise in trend-driven content execution, influencer partnerships, campaign optimisation, and integrating AI tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini to boost content output and efficiency.

I've planned, produced, and analysed high-performing content that increases awareness, engagement, and community growth, delivering measurable outcomes such as 30%+ engagement lifts, influencer-driven sign-ups, and multi-channel campaigns that contributed to significant online sales. My work spans short-form video, UGC-style content, marketplace campaigns, and regional event coverage across Lagos, Accra, Nairobi, London, and remote global teams.

I combine hands-on creative production (video, copy, visual assets) with data-backed optimisation and cross-functional collaboration, managing creator workflows, CRM alignment, and vendor/agency relationships to scale brand visibility and community impact.
