Hire the Best Social Media Managers in Abu Dhabi, AE

Not looking for just another social media manager, huh? 😏 Good. I’m likely not the best fit if you just need someone to “post something nice on Canva and hope for engagement” anyway. I care more about the system behind the content: the audience, the offer, the platform behaviour, the creative angle, and whether the content is actually helping the brand grow. I’m a creative marketer with 8+ years of experience across Social Media Strategy, Brand Strategy, Content Strategy, Creative Strategy, Marketing Strategy, Growth Strategy, Campaign Management, 360 Marketing, Paid Social, Instagram Marketing, Facebook Marketing, and TikTok Marketing. I’ve worked across premium destination, lifestyle, tourism, culture and experience-led brands including Saadiyat Island, Al Ain Zoo, Yas Theme Parks, and teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi, supporting campaigns that have reached millions across social, digital, PR, CRM, paid media, and partner channels. Now, I also work with AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Canva to speed up strategy, sharpen ideas, build stronger content systems, and help brands move from “we need more posts” to “we know exactly what we’re trying to say, who it’s for, and how it supports growth.” What I can support you with: ✅ Brand Strategy & Brand Consulting Clarifying your positioning, messaging, tone of voice, and content direction so your brand feels consistent and commercially aligned. ✅ Social Media Strategy & Content Strategy Building practical content pillars, platform roles, monthly calendars, campaign themes, and post angles that give your brand structure. ✅ Organic & Paid Social Creative Developing content ideas, hooks, ad angles, Reels concepts, carousel direction, and paid social creative that feels native, not forced. ✅ Go-to-Market Strategy & Growth Strategy Supporting launches, new offers, seasonal campaigns, and audience acquisition through clear messaging and channel planning. ✅ Marketing Analytics & Campaign Management Turning performance data into useful next steps, not vanity-metric reports that no one reads. ✅ Content Creation Support Captions, content prompts, creative briefs, AI-assisted ideation, and direction for Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, and other relevant platforms. Most brands don’t struggle due to lack of lack content, It's because it's not connected to the wider strategy. It just gets posted, but it doesn't build trust, demand, discoverability, or conversion intent. I’m strategic, but still hands-on. I can help shape the direction, build the plan, write the content, guide the creative, and keep the execution commercially grounded. So, whether you’re launching something new, trying to grow your online presence, or just tired of not knowing what to post, I'd love to help create a marketing approach that feels clear, manageable, and built with intention.

Hi, I’m Des. I’m a Social Media Manager and Content Creator with 6+ years of experience helping businesses build strong, scroll-stopping social media that gets attention and makes people want to follow, engage and buy. I’ve helped brands start from zero and build from the ground up. That means creating the strategy, shaping the content, building consistency and working out what actually makes people stop scrolling. If you’re looking for someone who is going to be on top of your growth, not just post a few graphics and disappear, that’s where I come in. I focus on creating social media that feels current, polished and completely aligned with your brand while keeping a close eye on what’s trending, what’s performing and what your audience is actually responding to. Whether your goal is more followers, more reach, stronger engagement, more enquiries or more sales, I want your social media to feel like something people notice and remember. I create and manage Reels, short-form video, carousels, static posts, Stories, captions and content calendars across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and LinkedIn. I’m also very strong on the creative side. I don’t believe every brand should look like the same Canva template. I look at your audience, your competitors, your positioning and what you’re trying to achieve, then build the content around that. I’ve worked across personal brands, hospitality, beauty, wellness, lifestyle and service-based businesses, so I’m comfortable changing tone and creative direction depending on the brand. I also keep a close eye on trends, hooks, social media SEO, keywords, audience behaviour and performance so the strategy is always moving with what is actually happening on the platforms. I have a BSc in Biomedical Science, which means I’m naturally very detail-focused and analytical. It also gives me an extra advantage when working with health, wellness, medical, science and research-led brands where accuracy really matters. I’m originally from the UK and have spent the past 6 years living and working in the UAE. I’m a native English speaker and I work comfortably with clients internationally. I’m reliable, proactive and very hands-on. Once I understand your business and your goals, I’m happy to take ownership of the social media side and get on with it. I can also support with marketing admin, research and light virtual assistance where needed.
