Developed a social media marketing strategy to enhance brand visibility and drive follower growth across Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, achieving a monthly increase of 15% in followers and 60,000 views in video assets.

This project involved managing the creative content of all social media posts, including editing short-form videos, collaborating with the design team to create graphics, and crafting engaging copy. I oversaw the entire lifecycle of influencer and user-generated content (UGC) campaigns, including talent vetting and selection, rate negotiation, and creative brief development, resulting in impactful collaborations and increased reach. In addition, I spearheaded social media and community engagement initiatives for major events, including the Essence Festival and the Black Travel Summit.
