What I'm looking for

Influencer Marketing

Content Creation

I am an Influencer Marketing Specialist with experience leading influencer campaigns primarily for the Japan market, managing both seeding and paid collaborations from planning through execution. My work includes identifying and evaluating influencers based on engagement and audience fit, negotiating contracts and fees, managing campaign timelines, reviewing content prior to publication, and tracking post-performance and engagement metrics. I also conduct trend and competitor research to inform campaign direction and support cross-market collaboration, including assisting US-based teams with influencer discovery and market analysis.

In addition to my professional role, I work as an independent content creator and UGC collaborator, producing short-form, platform-native content for brands through paid partnerships. This dual perspective allows me to approach influencer marketing with a strong understanding of both brand objectives and creator workflows. I am particularly interested in roles within influencer marketing, brand partnerships, and creator economy teams, especially those operating in international or Japan-focused markets.
