Hire the Best Media Planners in California

I'm a project management and creative operations expert with 16+ years of experience working in many industries, with various team sizes & structures. As a consultant, I specialize in social media production operations for sports, entertainment, and hospitality brands. I help creators, content teams, and growing organizations build and optimize their production workflows. I work with clients on a consulting basis building and optimizing workflow systems. I'm open to consulting conversations with startups & emerging companies, content creators, and production agencies. Outside of operations and production, I also have a strong writing and creative background with two published books, hundreds of articles, and I run a sports social media platform.

My specialty is planning, setting up, & managing Google Ads & Facebook Ads campaigns that lead to actual results (leads, purchases, etc.). I have 10 years of experience planning, setting up, managing, & optimizing performance based online ad campaigns & have managed $10MM+ in ad spend working in multiple industries.

I act as the point of contact between you and your creative team, whether that's your photographer, ads manager, or any other collaborator, so you never have to worry about back-and-forth calls or follow-ups. I handle the communication, organize your content, and guide you on exactly what you need to create and when. My goal is simple: take the overwhelm out of managing your digital presence so you can show up confidently and consistently. My experience is in social media strategy, social media planning, email copywriting, email funnels, etc. WHAT I DO: ✅ Brand messaging and content direction ✅ Telling YOU what to film and why ✅ Positioning and voice clarity for personal brands ✅ Creative consulting rather than execution WHAT I DO NOT DO: ❌ Trend chasing (we want to set a trend not chase a trend) ❌ Filming and editing ❌ Managing posting schedules

📍 Los Angeles + Washington, DC based If you want fast content with minimal thought, follow-through, or commitment, I’m not your person. If you want a strategic partner who invests real time into understanding your brand, builds systems that actually work, and executes with intention, keep reading. I don’t take on turn-and-burn projects. I don’t work with brands that “trust the vision” and abandon ship before execution or an editing round. I reserve my time and bandwidth for clients who are ready to trust the process and allow me to execute on clearly defined deliverables. This is not a fit if you’re expecting unrealistic timelines, shortcuts, or results. If you’re ready now, I’m your girl, unless otherwise stated. If you’re just exploring what’s out there and plan to be “ready in a few months,” I’m not your person. I’m dedicated to the projects I take on, and when I commit, I pause actively seeking new work to ensure focus, alignment, and execution. I work hands-on. I don’t outsource overseas. I don’t pass clients off to subcontractors. I partner with a limited number of brands at a time because quality, momentum, and results require attention. 💻 I’ve led social media and content strategy for brands including Anne Klein, Henry Rose, Algenist, PopChips, and Vesta Homes, and supported campaigns and launches for FailArmy, People Are Awesome, and Prime Video. 📈 With over a decade of experience in digital marketing, I specialize in platform growth, storytelling, content production, and strategy across consumer brands, lifestyle companies, entertainment, and founder-led businesses. If you’re serious about growing your brand and want a partner who brings clarity, structure, and intention to the process, we’ll work well together.

Hi! My name is Jinha, and I am a freelance Social Media Manager, Influencer Marketing Manager, and UGC Creator with experience working across wellness, beauty, and lifestyle brands. I currently work in influencer marketing where I manage creator outreach, campaign coordination, product shipments, content tracking, reporting, and day-to-day influencer operations to ensure campaigns run smoothly. Along with brand-side experience, I’m also a UGC creator myself, so I’m very familiar with the influencer and social media world from both perspectives. I understand what makes content perform, how to build strong creator relationships, and how to create organized systems that keep campaigns efficient and on track. What I am most passionate about is creating a content strategy that performs and scales your brand to increase in sales and revenue!

“PR shouldn’t feel like paying someone to send a bunch of emails and hope for the best.” Hey, I’m Darlene. I’m a founder, brand builder, and PR strategist who helps brands and entrepreneurs get real visibility in places that actually matter. I help clients land press placements, podcast features, magazine editorials, and TV segments that build credibility, trust, and attention with the right audience. That includes everything from digital publications and front cover magazine features to podcast placements across major business, tech, AI, finance, wellness, and entrepreneur networks reaching millions of listeners. A lot of PR feels vague and overpriced. I take a more strategic and transparent approach focused on opportunities that actually fit your brand and help create momentum beyond a single feature. Here’s some of what I help with: ✅ Digital press placements and editorial features ✅ Front cover magazine features and full page spreads ✅ Podcast placements on high visibility shows in business, tech, AI, finance, wellness, and entrepreneurship ✅ Local and national TV lifestyle segments ✅ “As Seen In” strategy and visibility support for your website and social proof ✅ Custom PR packages based on your goals, niche, and target audience I’ve spent the last 10+ years building brands and working with founders across fashion, lifestyle, wellness, ecommerce, and modern consumer brands. My Upwork profile is new, but this work isn’t. I’m happy to share placements, examples, and case studies if you’d like to see past work. My hourly rate is just a placeholder since most projects are customized based on what you’re looking for. If you’re ready to get your brand in front of more people in a meaningful way, let’s chat ✨
