I’m a digital strategist driving performance marketing and brand growth.
What I'm looking for
I’m a digital strategist with 9 years driving measurable growth—from media buying to viral content—across retail, women-led platforms, and live events. I balance analysis with storytelling to turn attention into conversions.
As a Growth Strategist at Kunta Content, I lead reach and conversion strategy while managing waitlist growth and community engagement pre-launch. I focus on performance outcomes and clear audience value, so growth compounds over time.
Previously as Marketing Head at Backyard Shoez, I drove 30% online sales growth by architecting a multichannel CRO strategy across paid, organic, and email in a lean team environment. I managed Google Ads and Facebook & Instagram ads, improving ROI by 20%, led a 5-person team covering SEO, SEM, and PPC, and delivered video and social content reaching 100K+ users—along with loyalty programs that improved retention and brand advocacy.
