@washingtonombuor
Digital marketing strategist who grows brands with social media, email, SEO, and data-driven campaigns.
What I'm looking for
I’m a certified digital marketing professional with 5+ years of experience across digital marketing, brand communications, graphic design, and video editing. I blend creative execution with strategic thinking to help businesses and personal accounts grow through audience-focused messaging.
As a Social Media Manager, I managed and maintained client accounts across Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube. I created engaging text, image, and video posts, monitored conversations, and responded proactively to build meaningful connections while staying current with emerging platforms.
I also worked as a Digital Marketing Strategist where I crafted integrated campaigns, set measurable marketing goals, and analyzed metrics to forecast trends. I bring core strengths in SEO, analytics, AI tools, strategic marketing planning, affiliate marketing, and PR & media relations.
Beyond marketing, I’ve supported operations and sales—improving procurement costs by 15% through vendor negotiations and boosting scheduling efficiency by 20%. I’ve also delivered freelance transcription work with 100% nomenclature accuracy and rigorous audits, and I’m fluent in French and Korean.
