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.
