Senior Social Media Manager & Growth Strategist
Self Employed • Freelance
Jan 2025 - Present • 1 yr 8 mos
Lead social media strategy and growth-focused content management for brands, businesses, creators, coaches, consultants, and personal brands seeking measurable digital growth. My work combines strategic planning, content development, platform management, organic audience growth, community engagement, analytics, and campaign optimization across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, and X. I begin by understanding the brand, offer, audience, competitive landscape, positioning, and business goals. From there, I build social media strategies with defined content pillars, messaging angles, recurring content formats, campaign themes, calls to action, and publishing workflows. I develop monthly content calendars and ensure every piece of content has a clear purpose, whether the objective is reach, engagement, authority, traffic, leads, streams, or community growth. Short-form video is a major part of my current strategy work. I develop scroll-stopping hooks, video concepts, storytelling structures, captions, CTAs, and repurposing systems designed for retention and platform-native discovery. I also help clients transform existing assets, testimonials, educational material, and expertise into multiple content opportunities instead of constantly starting from scratch. I manage the complete social media workflow, including content planning, scheduling, publishing, community management, trend research, hashtag and keyword optimization, performance tracking, and strategic adjustments. I monitor reach, engagement, saves, shares, profile activity, follower growth, traffic, leads, and conversion signals to determine what deserves more investment. My approach is centered on sustainable organic growth and brand authority. I do not rely on generic viral tactics. I build consistent systems that connect content with the customer journey and help clients turn attention into meaningful results, including traffic, audience growth, streams, leads, and client acquisition.

Digital Marketing & Social Media Strategist
Jan 2022 - Dec 2024 • 2 yrs 11 mos
Worked with businesses, personal brands, coaches, consultants, creators, and growing companies to move beyond basic posting and build structured social media strategies connected to clear marketing objectives. During this stage, I expanded from account execution into strategy, campaign planning, audience research, content systems, performance analysis, and organic growth across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, and X. I developed monthly and campaign-based content strategies using audience insights, competitor research, brand positioning, customer pain points, industry trends, and business priorities. I created content pillars and recurring series, planned educational, promotional, entertaining, and authority-building content, and mapped ideas into practical publishing calendars. For short-form video, I developed hooks, concepts, talking points, captions, CTAs, and repurposing opportunities designed to improve retention and discoverability. I introduced a structured approach to performance management by monitoring reach, impressions, engagement rate, saves, shares, profile visits, follower growth, traffic, and content performance. I used these insights to identify winning topics and formats and refine future campaigns. Rather than focusing only on vanity metrics, I evaluated how social content could support awareness, website traffic, audience development, leads, streams, and customer acquisition. My responsibilities also included scheduling and publishing, community management, hashtag and keyword research, social listening, trend analysis, content optimization, and performance reporting. I worked closely with clients to clarify their offers, messaging, target audiences, and brand voice, then translated those insights into consistent, engaging content.
