Hi, I'm Lisma — a Digital Marketing & Social Media Specialist with hands-on experience in social media management, Meta Ads and digital growth. I help small and product-based businesses build a stronger online presence, reach the right audience and turn social media activity into measurable business results. What I can help with: • Social media strategy and management • Content planning and content creation • Meta Ads campaign setup and management • Audience targeting and campaign optimisation • Community management • Social media growth • Meta Business Suite setup and management • WhatsApp Business setup, product catalogues and automated messages • Basic online business and marketing systems My approach is practical and business-focused. I don't believe in posting just for the sake of posting. I help businesses understand what to post, when to promote it and how their social media and advertising can work together. I also have hands-on experience running Meta Ads for a product-based business, including campaigns that generated leads, website traffic and sales. For example, one campaign generated 16 leads at an average cost of R54.77 per lead, while another generated 1,139 landing-page views at R0.41 per landing-page view. I also understand the operational side of running a product business, including managing incoming orders and coordinating courier collections — so I understand that marketing needs to work with the business, not just generate attention. If you're looking for someone who can combine social media management, Meta Ads and practical digital marketing strategy, I'd love to hear about your business.
