Hi, I'm Rorisang. I help founders and brands build Instagram content that actually moves people, from scroll to DM, from DM to offer. Here's what that's looked like in practice: 39K+ reel views, 900+ DM replies from a single keyword automation, and content contributing to 500K+ monthly views across accounts I've managed. About me My background is in content writing in the entertainment space, and I've broadened my knowledge across coaching businesses and founder-led brands. I mostly work with: • Founders and startups building a presence from the ground up • Coaches and consultants who want their content connected to their offers • Brands seeking support to show up consistently What I can help you with: • Social media management (Instagram-focused) • Short-form Reel scripting, editing & repurposing • Instagram Stories built for DM opt-ins and offer promotion • ManyChat keyword automation setup & content alignment • Carousel design & caption writing • Content strategy for lead funnels and email list growth Clients usually come to me when: • They’re showing up consistently but leads feel inconsistent • Their stories aren’t doing much beyond updates • They care about conversion, but don’t have the time to manage their accounts A few highlights • Contributed to 500K+ monthly views across Instagram accounts • Supported 900+ DM replies through keyword-driven content • Short-form reels reaching 17K–39K+ views • Experience supporting email list growth, lead funnels, and YouTube traffic I take the time to understand your goals, audience, and voice so the content we create actually supports your business, not just your feed.
