Looking for someone who does more than just create and post content? Good. I look at the strategy (or lack thereof) behind what you’re posting, how it supports your goals, what the data is telling us, and what needs to change. That can mean sharpening the content strategy, developing stronger hooks and creative concepts, managing the day-to-day, or figuring out why something isn’t performing the way it should. From smaller brands starting at 236 followers to larger brands with audiences of 11 million, I’m used to adapting strategy to different audiences, teams, and stages of growth. 🧠 – 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗚𝗬 Ideation gets a lot easier when there’s a clear reason behind it. That can mean tightening your pillars, channels, campaigns, or overall direction. 🎯– 𝗔𝗗 & 𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗚𝗬 Stronger concepts, hooks, messaging, and creative direction for content worth testing, whether organic or paid. 📱– 𝗦𝗢𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗠𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗔 𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 Ongoing social media management across content scheduling, publishing, community engagement, and performance tracking. 📊 – 𝗔𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗬𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗦 & 𝗔𝗨𝗗𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧𝗦 Numbers are only useful if you know what they’re telling you. Performance and audience behavior become a clearer story about what’s working and what should happen next. ⚙️ – 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗖𝗘𝗦𝗦 & 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞𝗙𝗟𝗢𝗪 𝗗𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗟𝗢𝗣𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 For scaling teams, clearer workflows, responsibilities, and processes can make execution far more consistent.

Hi, I'm Bianca, a Creative Strategist & UGC Creator who helps DTC brands turn content into revenue. I specialize in performance creative for paid social ads (TikTok, Meta, Instagram) and organic content strategy that converts browsers into buyers. I've worked with 50+ DTC e-commerce brands across beauty, wellness, and lifestyle, including Notion, Descript, and Arc Browser, creating UGC content, ad creative, and product marketing videos that stop the scroll and drive sales. One campaign alone generated 1.7M+ views and 16K+ link clicks. From hook testing to conversion-optimized content, I know what makes audiences buy. What I do: -Creative strategy for TikTok ads, Meta ads, and Instagram campaigns -UGC video production: testimonials, demos, unboxings, before/afters, product storytelling -Performance content designed for high ROAS and low CPA -Script development with multiple hook variations for A/B testing -Content testing & iteration based on platform trends and audience behavior -Shopify brand content and Amazon product videos -DTC-style editing (12-15 cuts per video) with clean versions for repurposing I've reviewed 100+ UGC creator portfolios for brands, so I know exactly what stands out and what falls flat. That perspective shapes everything I create. Every script, every hook, every edit is built to perform, not just fill a content calendar. I understand DTC metrics...not just views, but CPA, ROAS, CTR, and conversion. If you need a content creator who thinks like a strategist and delivers scroll-stopping creative that performs, let's talk.
