I'm currently Upwork's #2 ranked Instagram and TikTok specialist in the UK out of 8,500+ freelancers (via UpworkMRR Rankings). Give me your social media and I'll turn it into a system that brings in clients on autopilot. That's what I do. If you send me an invite or message, I'll send you back a personalised video breaking down exactly what I'd change about your content strategy and why. No strings attached. A little more about me: I help founders, coaches, and service based businesses stop treating social media like a chore and start using it as their #1 client acquisition channel. From content strategy and short form video to paid ads and full social media management, I build the system, run it, and optimise it based on what the data says is working. If your content isn't converting, your posting is inconsistent, or you're spending money on ads and social with nothing to show for it, I'll fix that. That's my promise! ▪ 100% Job Success Score | 5★ rating ▪ Top Rated Plus ▪ 200+ founders served, $5M+ in tracked client revenue ▪ 50+ accounts brought to 1M+ followers ▪ 100M+ views generated across Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook ▪ Meta Ads & Creative Strategy certified "Chris completely transformed our social media into a true revenue channel.
