🚨 LIVE AVAILABILITY FOR JUNE 2026, I currently have 3 client slots available to help a brand or business increase their reach and win on social media. Send me a message and let’s chat. Hi, I’m Ethan. I partner with brands and businesses, helping them build winning content strategies that not only positions them as the go-to in their industry, but generate qualified leads via content. I discovered with the right systems, strategies and content design, you could scale your business and increase authority without having to spend 40+ hours per month stressing over the fine details of content and performing silly viral dances. With this, I’ve helped my clients gain millions of views per year by handling the A-Z of social media, so my best clients don’t have to worry about what to post each day and focus their saved time on other aspects of their business and life. Instead of posting and praying that something will hit like most freelancers do, I focus on creating intentional content that positions my clients as an authoritative figure within their niche, helping them become the go-to. It’s not about “going viral”, it’s about making your audience feel heard and working with the algorithmic signals to get your content pushed to those who need it the most. Whether you’re dipping your feet in the social media world, or a well-established brand that needs an extra push, I’d love to chat to chat and see if we’d be a good fit for each other. Message me here on UpWork w/ some more info on your brand, project & goals and I’ll show you how I can support you with my partnership.

Hi, I’m Maja, London based. A lot of brands are posting regularly, but the content still feels disconnected, inconsistent, or unclear. That’s usually where I come in. I focus on creating content that actually works as a whole, not just individual posts. From visuals to messaging, everything is aligned so your brand feels clear, professional, and easy to trust. I’ve worked with a range of businesses across different industries, including a personal life coach, a mental health service, and companies within the property and finance space. My work includes creating reels, carousels, and educational content tailored to each audience and tone. I’m comfortable across Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Facebook, whether that’s creating content from scratch or repurposing existing content so it performs properly on each platform. What I focus on: • Content creation that feels clean, structured, and engaging • Repurposing content to maximise reach across platforms • Building a consistent and professional brand presence • Clear, well-written captions that support visibility and understanding • Keeping everything organised, planned, and running smoothly I work quite independently and keep things simple and structured, so you’re not having to think about content day to day. If you’re looking for someone who can take this off your plate properly, feel free to message me. Best, Maja
