What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role that fosters creativity and innovation, where I can leverage my skills in social media marketing and content creation to drive brand engagement and growth.

I am a creative and results-driven Social Media Marketing and Content Creation Specialist with experience across various industries, including hospitality, retail, travel, and fitness. My expertise lies in crafting compelling digital narratives and executing data-driven marketing strategies that enhance brand presence through innovative social media campaigns.

In my current role at The Penthouse Hyde Park, I develop and execute engaging social media content to promote events and elevate brand awareness. I have successfully managed social media accounts, increasing follower engagement through targeted campaigns. My previous experience as a Marketing & Content Strategist at Kennicott Brothers allowed me to design visually appealing content that aligned with seasonal trends and customer engagement goals, optimizing campaign performance through analytics.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with various brands, including GoPuff and Equinox, to create engaging content that boosts product awareness and drives sales. My strong storytelling abilities and proficiency in tools like Adobe Creative Suite and Google Analytics enable me to deliver impactful marketing strategies that resonate with audiences.
