Nadi Mahamba
@nadimahamba
Strategic communications and digital marketing leader specializing in data-led PR, SEO, and social media.
What I'm looking for
I hold 6+ years of experience in strategic communications, with 3 of those in a senior role, and I’m driven by branding, digital marketing, and education. I’m an energetic, funny, tenacious and curious serial learner—efficient, teachable, and analytical—and I tailor my approach to each sector’s unique needs.
Across my roles as Digital Marketing Associate, Marketing and PR Manager, and Senior Social Media Manager, I’ve led end-to-end campaign building, SEO outreach, keyword research, content production and optimization, and audience identification and outreach. I’m also known for data-led decision making—working with insights extraction, comprehensive reporting, mentorship, and data-backed storytelling—while managing WordPress and CMS workflows, paid advertising, and event planning and community engagement.
