@mackenzieturner1
Digital marketer at Painfully Me who launched three Wix websites and turned a chronic pain advocacy brand into a community-based design consultancy.
What I'm looking for
At Painfully Me, I designed and launched a digital presence with a blog and portfolio using Wix and Canva. I also developed a brand identity and content strategy focused on chronic pain advocacy, then pivoted the brand into a community-based design consultancy for small businesses.
I create accessible, evidence-based content by synthesizing scientific research and linking to sources. I’ve also built three Wix websites from scratch and launched social media pages on Instagram and Facebook.
At Caliber Digital LLC, I developed brand-voice frameworks in ChatGPT and Claude to support consistent content and organic engagement. I managed organic social media across Instagram, Facebook, and Reddit, and researched competitors, trends, and generative engine optimization.
I’ve found that community connections matter alongside quality content. I’m continuing to create through Painfully Me, offering social media marketing, branding, and Wix web design services to my community.
