I’m a Social Media Marketing and Video Content Specialist with 6+ years of experience helping startups and Fortune 100 companies turn strategy into high-performing content. I’ve partnered with brands including HP, Cisco, MassMutual, GoDaddy, Scale AI, Goliath Games (Diary of a Wimpy Kid Cheese Touch Board Game), and Obi on campaigns across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and paid social. I specialize in building content systems that grow audiences, improve engagement, and convert viewers into customers. My campaigns have generated over 100 million views, including NYC subway ad campaigns, airport ad campaigns during SXSW, and global digital activations. I have created content for social media channels that have over 2.5 million followers. What sets me apart is my focus on solving the business problems behind content: weak visibility, low retention, inconsistent messaging, and poor conversion. I work as a strategic creative partner, not just an editor. I also stay current with the latest AI video and content tools, using AI voiceovers, generative visuals, and advanced editing workflows to produce studio-level content faster and more efficiently than traditional production teams. If you’re looking for a creative partner who understands how to turn content into growth, positioning, and revenue, that’s where I thrive. Message me, and let's set up a free consultation to discuss how we can jump-start your growth.

Meta Certified specialist with 8+ years consulting experience - I help premium service businesses get predictable, high-quality bookings, not volumes of low-intent leads. The problem usually isn’t Meta ads - it’s the strategy behind them. Unclear positioning, weak messaging, and overcomplicated funnels waste ad budgets. Unlike most Meta Ads specialists who run ads in isolation, I build ✨complete lead generation systems✨ - strategic marketing funnels paired with high-converting Meta ad campaigns. What I bring: ⭐️ Meta Certified Media Buyer (advanced execution & optimization) ⭐️ Meta Certified AI & Performance Marketing Specialist (strategic campaign design & measurable results) ✅ 8+ years consulting experience, with a Big 4 consulting-firm background ✅ Specialized in high-value service lead generation ($1,000+ offers) ✅ Build automated systems generating 30 to 80+ booked appointments monthly ✅ A clear focus on lead quality and ROI, not just volume How I help: ⚡ Senior-level Meta ads strategy & hands-on execution (Facebook & Instagram) 🎨 Ad creative strategy, developing high-converting ad concepts, hooks and messaging that stop the scroll and drive qualified leads 🎯 Audience targeting, offer positioning & ad messaging that attract premium clients 🧩 Full-funnel audits, design & conversion optimization 📈 Performance analysis & strategic data-driven optimization 💸 Revenue-focused optimization, not vanity metrics My approach is built on two principles: 1️⃣ Strategy-first: Every campaign starts with a clear strategic foundation - your buyer persona, offer positioning, and messaging designed to convert. I don't optimize ads in isolation; I optimize the entire system to attract high-intent prospects who show up ready to buy. 2️⃣ Data-driven decision making: I continuously monitor key performance metrics, systematically test what drives results, and make data-backed decisions to scale winners and cut underperformers. No guesswork or vanity metrics - just strategic scaling based on what actually works. I work best with businesses that: ✔️ Have a proven high-ticket offer ($1,000+) ✔️ Can invest $2,000+/month in ads ✔️ Value expertise and a long-term, strategic partnership over the cheapest hourly rate If you're looking for someone to just run ads without strategy, I'm not the right fit. If you want a partner who understands the full system behind profitable Meta ads and stays involved throughout optimization and scaling, send me a message.

I’ve managed influencer and UGC campaigns reaching 3.5M+ followers, including public figures, built $50K+ in brand deals with a single creator, and led social media for $1.5B+ companies. My team has been hired by TikTok and Meta to scout creators for their own campaigns (yes, really), and I will use the same systems to scout creators for your brand. With 7+ years in marketing, I’ve run campaigns in the United States, Europe, and Latin America, covering hospitality, including villas, boutique hotels, and resorts, e-commerce, wellness, sports, athlete brands, and DTC. My goal is simple: help you turn creator content into a system that drives trust, traffic, and sales. ✦ Scout influencers and UGC creators who actually fit your brand, audience, and offer ✦ Get the right assets from creators, not just random videos ✦ Transform UGC into ads, reels, landing page sections, website social proof, emails, and product page content ✦ Build briefs with hooks, scripts, angles, and clear direction so creators produce content with a purpose ✦ Manage outreach, rates, contracts, usage rights, deadlines, revisions, and deliverables ✦ Structure affiliate and influencer campaigns with codes, tracking links, and reporting ✦ Use creator content to make your website feel more trusted, human, and conversion-ready ✦ Turn top-performing creator assets into Meta and TikTok ad tests ✦ Build DM, comment, giveaway, and collaboration flows to capture demand ✦ Track what works weekly and keep improving the system based on performance

I help founder-led beauty, wellness, and lifestyle brands build the strategic foundation they need to grow with intention. From brand positioning and visual identity to social media, content, and influencer strategy. With 9+ years of experience working with US-based CPG brands, I specialize in the categories where brand feeling drives purchasing decisions.

A few brands that I've worked with: * Tower 28 Beauty * Ciele Cosmetics * Mocktail Club * Movember * Gillette * noissue packaging How I work: I start by auditing what exists, researching the competitive landscape, and identifying whitespace. From there I build positioning strategy grounded in where the market is and where it's going. Then I develop the frameworks your brand needs to show up consistently: visual style guides, social and influencer strategies, content calendars, and analytics best practices. What I can help you with: * Brand audits & competitive analysis * Brand positioning & visual identity * Social media & content strategy * Influencer & creator strategy * UGC strategy & creator partnerships * Content ideation & sample content calendars

 A note on location: I'm an American based in Amsterdam, working remotely with US clients with flexible hours that overlap with US time zones. English is my first language, and so is understanding the cultural nuance that makes American consumers actually connect with a brand. For international brands looking to enter or grow in the US market, that's a meaningful advantage. If you're a founder building something you believe in and need a strategic partner who can meet you at the vision stage, I'd love to connect.
