I’m a UGC creator specialising in beauty, health, and fashion, creating high-quality, engaging content that feels authentic and drives results. With 5 years of professional modelling experience, I’m confident and natural in front of the camera, bringing a polished, premium feel to every project. I’ve worked with brands including Charlotte Tilbury, Colour Wow, and Motel Rocks, producing content that aligns with each brand’s vision. I combine creativity, strong on-camera presence, and attention to detail to create relatable, high-converting UGC that connects with audiences.

🚨 LIVE AVAILABILITY FOR JUNE 2026, I currently have 3 client slots available to help a brand or business increase their reach and win on social media. Send me a message and let’s chat. Hi, I’m Ethan. I partner with brands and businesses, helping them build winning content strategies that not only positions them as the go-to in their industry, but generate qualified leads via content. I discovered with the right systems, strategies and content design, you could scale your business and increase authority without having to spend 40+ hours per month stressing over the fine details of content and performing silly viral dances. With this, I’ve helped my clients gain millions of views per year by handling the A-Z of social media, so my best clients don’t have to worry about what to post each day and focus their saved time on other aspects of their business and life. Instead of posting and praying that something will hit like most freelancers do, I focus on creating intentional content that positions my clients as an authoritative figure within their niche, helping them become the go-to. It’s not about “going viral”, it’s about making your audience feel heard and working with the algorithmic signals to get your content pushed to those who need it the most. Whether you’re dipping your feet in the social media world, or a well-established brand that needs an extra push, I’d love to chat to chat and see if we’d be a good fit for each other. Message me here on UpWork w/ some more info on your brand, project & goals and I’ll show you how I can support you with my partnership.

I'm currently Upwork's #2 ranked Instagram and TikTok specialist in the UK out of 8,500+ freelancers (via UpworkMRR Rankings). Give me your social media and I'll turn it into a system that brings in clients on autopilot. That's what I do. If you send me an invite or message, I'll send you back a personalised video breaking down exactly what I'd change about your content strategy and why. No strings attached. A little more about me: I help founders, coaches, and service based businesses stop treating social media like a chore and start using it as their #1 client acquisition channel. From content strategy and short form video to paid ads and full social media management, I build the system, run it, and optimise it based on what the data says is working. If your content isn't converting, your posting is inconsistent, or you're spending money on ads and social with nothing to show for it, I'll fix that. That's my promise! ▪ 100% Job Success Score | 5★ rating ▪ Top Rated Plus ▪ 200+ founders served, $5M+ in tracked client revenue ▪ 50+ accounts brought to 1M+ followers ▪ 100M+ views generated across Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook ▪ Meta Ads & Creative Strategy certified "Chris completely transformed our social media into a true revenue channel. His strategic approach, clear systems, and genuine care made him feel like a growth partner, not just a freelancer." Caroline M., Founder & Coach Currently accepting 4 new clients.

Most people who hire a social media expert have already tried doing it themselves.. They posted for a few weeks. Ran out of ideas. Stopped. Or they hired someone who churned out content with no strategy behind it and wondered why nothing moved. Either way, they arrive here knowing that the content has to happen, they just haven't found the right person to make it actually work. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗜 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵. ➜ DOES ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR? You have the expertise, the story, maybe even the footage.. but you cannot stay consistent. Every time you start, you run out of ideas or run out of time, and the account goes quiet again. The problem is not motivation. The problem is that you have no system, and systems beat willpower every time. Or you run a business and you need social media to produce results you can measure: leads, bookings, appointments, or revenue. You have probably tried an 'agency' before and felt burned. You need someone who looks at your funnel before touching your content, not someone who posts for the sake of it and sends you a follower report at the end of the month. Or you are already generating attention: views, followers, calls booked, but it is not converting into clients. That is rarely a content problem. Usually it is an offer problem, a positioning problem, or both. I will tell you which one before we spend a single month posting around it. If any of those lands, keep reading 👇 ➜ RESULTS IN 2026 SO FAR 1️⃣ Grew a fitness coach from 2,200 to 11,400 Instagram followers in 90 days. Engagement tripled. Six 1-1 coaching clients signed within the first 60-days of engagement. 2️⃣ Grew a holistic health coach from 0 to 35,000 followers in 6-months through organic content alone. No paid spend. 3️⃣ Generated £120,000 in mentorship sales for a UK property investment coach using short-form content and meta retargeting campaigns. 4️⃣ Grew the personal brand of a movie trailer editor from 2,000 - 14,000 followers in the first 14-days of working together. ➜ HOW I WORK Strategy before content. Always. I start with a full strategy document covering your audience, brand story, content pillars, and how the content connects to a measurable business outcome. Then we build the content plan. Every month you get a clear brief: the videos to record, the hooks to use, the structure to follow. You batch-record in a couple of sessions. I handle everything else: editing, design, scheduling, and a monthly report that tells you what is working and what to change next month. If you want to be the face of your brand, I coach you on camera. Pacing, hooks, how to set up the shot. Most people who are nervous about video are not bad on camera. They just have never been told what to do. That changes fast. If you would rather not appear on camera at all, I can step in as a UGC-style creator and be the face of your content instead. Same strategy, same system, just a different face delivering it. ➜ WHAT I DO ▸ Short-form video strategy and content planning: Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Facebook ▸ Paid advertising: Meta campaigns built to drive real enquiries, not impressions ▸ Offer positioning and monetization strategy for creators, coaches & consultants ▸ Sales funnels, landing pages, email sequences, lead capture systems ▸ Monthly analytics and strategy refinement based on the numbers ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ➜ THE TRACK RECORD ▸ Top Rated Plus on Upwork | 70+ Jobs Complete | 100% 5-Star Feedback (check my reviews) ▸ 8+ years as a freelance marketing expert ▸ Fixed, transparent pricing. No retainers that creep, no scope surprises. If you have tried this before and it did not work, the problem was almost never the content. It was the absence of a strategy behind it. Send me a message. Tell me where you are and what you are trying to achieve. I will come back to you within 24 hours with an honest answer on whether I can help and what it would look like. I look forward to speaking to you, Robbie.

Awareness, retargeting, conversion, each stage needs different creative and targeting. I build campaigns that move shoppers through your funnel, not just dump traffic at the top. Data-driven optimisation. I track ROAS, CPA, CTR, conversion rates, AOV, MER, and purchase volume. You get clear reporting showing what's working, what's not, and what we're doing about it. HAPPY CLIENTS: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "We'd tried and failed with Meta ads before so were initially skeptical about whether the channel was right for us, but Harrison absolutely CRUSHED it.
