Your posts are going up, but the likes, comments, and shares just aren’t coming in. Even worse, the effort isn’t translating into sales, your audience isn’t growing, and the few who do follow aren’t converting into paying customers. That’s where I come in. Hi, I’m Munashe, a Social Media Manager and Creative Content Creator with over 5 years of experience helping brands, entrepreneurs, and startups transform their online presence into a powerful engine for engagement and sales. I am skilled in: ✅ Developing and executing tailored social media strategies ✅ Creating engaging short-form videos, reels, TikToks, carousels, and UGC ✅ Writing scroll-stopping captions, ad copy, and branded content ✅ Designing professional graphics and visuals with Canva ✅ Scheduling and managing content calendars for consistent posting ✅ Handling community management (DMs, comments, engagement) ✅ Measuring and optimizing performance through analytics and reporting ✅ Coordinating influencer marketing and collaborations ✅ Repurposing long-form assets (blogs, podcasts, videos) into bite-sized, high-performing content My approach to social media: I don’t rely on generic posting without direction. Instead, I combine audience research, competitor analysis, and platform insights to create strategies that align with your brand voice and goals. Here’s how I do it: Research & Analysis: I analyze your target audience, their behaviors, and pain points, while benchmarking competitors to identify gaps and opportunities. Content Strategy: I craft content calendars that balance education, entertainment, and promotion to keep your audience hooked. Execution: From reels and stories to carousels and captions, I produce polished, platform-optimized content that boosts reach and engagement. Optimization: Using data-driven insights, I refine content strategies with analytics and performance reports. This results-driven approach has helped me grow an account from just 200 views to consistently achieving organic reach of 10K–100K, helping brands build engaged communities that not only grow but also convert. Platforms & Tools I work with daily: 🚀 Instagram | TikTok | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn 🚀 Canva, CapCut 🚀 Metricool, Hootsuite, Meta Business Suite With my expertise, I can help your brand not only grow its online presence but also turn that visibility into measurable sales results. ✨ Ready to finally see your content pay off?

I led social media strategy for 6 entertainment and lifestyle brands in Dubai simultaneously, managing a combined following of 990K+ across Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. The brands: Dubai Parks & Resorts (223K), Real Madrid World Dubai (222K), Motiongate Dubai (160K), The View at The Palm (160K), The Green Planet Dubai (121K), and Riverland Dubai (106K). I wasn't just posting. I built the content strategies, briefed the creative team, directed the creative direction on shoots, managed content calendars, ran performance analytics, and handled all stakeholder communication. Six different brand voices, six different audiences, all running at the same time. Now I work with founders, business owners, and brands who want their social media to actually do something. Not just look pretty. Not just fill a feed. But position them clearly, grow an engaged audience, and turn followers into clients. What I do best: social media strategy, personal brand building, content creation (Reels, carousels, video, UGC), and marketing consulting for people who are serious about growing online. I'm also building my own personal brand @chane.talks from zero as a live case study, so I practice everything I preach. If you want someone who brings strategy and ideas, not just execution, send me a message.

I create UGC videos that look native to the feed and convert like ads, without looking like ads. Since starting on Upwork, I’ve earned Rising Talent status and completed UGC projects across multiple niches with zero bad reviews. I work across the formats brands actually need: - POV videos (unboxing, get-ready-with-me, day-in-the-life style) - Talking-head videos (product demos, testimonials, tutorials) - Professional (brand safe, polished delivery for ads and landing pages) I’ve worked with clients in e-commerce, tech, supplements, trading, etc. Each project starts with understanding the product, the audience, and what’s already working (or not) so the content I send back fits your brand voice instead of sounding generic. What you can expect working with me: - Clear communication and realistic turnaround times - Multiple takes/angles per script so you have options to choose from - Raw and edited files delivered, so your team has full flexibility - A creator who reads the brief properly the first time If you’re looking for a UGC that doesn’t feel like an ad, send me your product details or a script and I’ll get back to you with the next steps within a few hours.

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 currently work within TikTok South Africa's Global Business Solutions team, which has sharpened how I think about content not just as creative output, but as a growth lever for businesses at different stages. 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. Fun Fact: When I'm not scheduling posts, you can find me drawing, always looking for new ways to train creativity. Let’s Chat: Sound like a fit?

I help brands grow on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts with short-form video that actually performs - not just looks good. Over the past 4 years, I've organically built my own audience to 120K+ followers, with multiple videos going viral - including one that hit 7 million views. That means I don't guess what works on these platforms, I've tested it. I've also partnered on paid brand collaborations with Holafly and Genki, so I know how to deliver content that fits a brand brief while still feeling native to the feed. On the strategy side, I've worked as a TikTok Content Strategist for businesses in hospitality and wellness. For a guest house in Mozambique, I launched and managed their TikTok from scratch - growing it to 1,000+ followers in 2 weeks. I've also created content for a women's healthcare brand. What you can expect from working with me: • TikTok-native hooks built for the FYP, not repurposed ad scripts • Trend spotting tied to your niche, not just whatever's viral that week • Content that feels like a recommendation, not a commercial • Fast turnaround and clear communication Portfolio linked in my profile (or available on request). Let's grow your brand the right way - excited to hear about your goals!
