Hi, I'm Maja, based in London. Most businesses don't have a content problem. They have a communication problem. They know their product or service inside out, but struggle to turn that knowledge into content people actually want to engage with. That's where I come in. I help businesses and founders create content that feels clear, engaging and purposeful. Whether that's educational content, founder-led content, short-form video, infographics or thought leadership, my focus is always the same: creating content that builds trust and helps the right people understand what makes a business different. Over the last few years I've worked with businesses across finance, property, coaching, wellbeing and professional services. I've helped turn complex topics into content for LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, creating everything from content strategies and calendars through to reels, carousels, graphics and captions. I particularly enjoy working with businesses that have genuine expertise but struggle to communicate it in a way that's engaging online. My approach is simple: • Understand the audience first • Create content around real problems and interests • Focus on consistency rather than chasing trends • Build content systems that can be reused and scaled I work independently, communicate clearly and genuinely enjoy becoming part of the businesses I work with rather than just being another freelancer ticking off tasks. If you're looking for someone who can help shape the content as well as create it, I'd love to chat.

I'm a UGC creator, video editor, social media manager and AI video and image creator combining all four skills to deliver content that doesn't just look good, it converts. On the UGC side I create authentic, relatable video content for brands and apps; talking head ads, product reviews, lifestyle content and app promotions. For social media management I handle everything; full content strategy, consistent posting, caption writing, community management and monthly performance reporting. I work with beauty, wellness, lifestyle and local businesses to grow their presence and turn followers into actual customers. I also create AI generated video and image content using advanced prompt engineering to produce talking avatar ads, cinematic product videos and lifestyle visuals that are indistinguishable from real creator content. Fast turnaround, ad ready and built to perform. On the editing side I take raw footage and transform it into scroll stopping Reels and TikToks; hooks, captions, sound, pacing, everything optimised for the platform it's going on. I adapt quickly to trends, work closely with clients to match brand voice, and combine creativity with a data driven approach to make sure everything I produce actually moves the needle.

I help businesses turn ad spend into real revenue by building and managing Google and Meta ad campaigns that bring in customers, bookings and sales. Send me an invite or drop me a message and I'll send you back a free Loom audit showing exactly how I'd approach your ad account to get it performing at its best. That's my promise. 🏆 Top Rated | 100% Job Success | $100k+ earned on Upwork 📈 Over a decade in marketing and paid media 💰 Real client results, not vanity metrics I help e-commerce brands, local and service-based businesses turn paid advertising into predictable growth. Whether you're scaling what's working, launching from scratch, or fixing campaigns that aren't converting, I bring the strategy and the execution. Recent results: • An e-commerce client gained a 10x return on roughly £5k/month in Google and Meta spend generating over £50k+ additional revenue in just one month • A local service business I built myself has generated £400k in revenue in under two years, with Google Ads as the main driver • A local service based business business I manage Google Ads for went from generating 2 qualified appointments to over 10 per week • Organic client posts have passed 1M+ views and added 500+ followers from a single post Paid advertising that performs. I run Google and Meta campaigns from cold prospecting to retargeting with proper conversion tracking, ongoing optimisation, and a focus on the metrics that move your bottom line: ROAS, CPA and revenue. Built around your funnel. Awareness, consideration, conversion, each stage needs different targeting and creative. I build campaigns that move buyers through your funnel, not just dump traffic at the top. Creative that converts. Creative fatigue kills campaigns. I test hooks, angles and formats from video, static to carousel, so we keep what converts and cut what doesn't. Content that gets seen. Beyond ads, I create and manage organic social content that performs, short-form video, graphic design, and full account management across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and more. Recent client posts have passed 1M+ views and added 500+ followers from a single post. Whether you need paid and organic running together as one engine, or simply want your socials managed with more consistency and strategy, I can help. Reporting you can actually read. Clear updates on what's working, what's not, and what we're doing about it, so your brand stays consistent everywhere and you always know where your money's going. What clients say: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Nico completely transformed our ad performance. We started getting consistent leads and could finally see where our money was going and what was actually working." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Nico understands paid advertising on a deeper level than most marketers we've worked with. From targeting to optimisation, the campaigns felt strategic from day one and the results backed it up." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Nico took the stress off our plate and made content that actually connects with our audience." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Nico's demonstrated a deep understanding of how different platforms operate, leveraging algorithms to maximise engagement." Before going full-time freelance, I spent four years at Universal Music Group and three years at the BBC. At UMG, I'm formally credited as Production Coordinator on major releases including the No Time To Die (James Bond) soundtrack and Grammy-award-winning albums. At the BBC, I managed where paid ad budget was spent across the youth networks and worked across major campaigns. I'm also certified across Google, Meta, TikTok, Pinterest, LinkedIn and X paid platforms, plus CompTIA A+ and Microsoft. If you're ready to turn ad spend into revenue, send me a message and let's jump on a call.

Most B2B SaaS and tech companies I work with have the same two problems: leads come in unpredictably, and the team is buried in manual work that should be running on its own. I help with both. I build B2B marketing systems that bring in the right buyers, follow up with them automatically, and turn them into real pipeline. Over the past year, clients have grown their leads, pipeline, and revenue by 20–60% inside two to three months. A bit about me: I'm a B2B marketing strategist and the founder of Socivo, a UK-based AI-powered marketing agency. Before Socivo I worked as a functional consultant at a fintech software company, so CRMs, data, and revenue tracking are second nature to me, not something I figure out after the campaign goes live. What I help with: - Marketing strategy: full-funnel B2B campaigns mapped to your ICP, buyer journey, and revenue goals. - Marketing automation: lead generation and outreach workflows built in Clay, Zapier, ManyChat, n8n, and Make to cut the manual work. - Account-based marketing (ABM): personalised LinkedIn, email, and paid campaigns aimed at the accounts you actually want to win. - LinkedIn and email outreach: automated sequences that book meetings without burning your domain or your LinkedIn account. - CRM and reporting: HubSpot and Zoho setup, lead scoring, attribution, and dashboards that show what's actually working. - Paid ads: Meta, Google, and LinkedIn campaigns with creative testing and ROAS/CPL optimisation. A few recent results: - B2B SaaS/AI: 30% account growth in one month through LinkedIn management, which drove a 20% lift in conversions. - Wimpole Pharmacy (UK): 60% increase in quarterly sales from targeted paid media and CRM-aligned funnels. - Easy Launch Academy: 50% more leads in a single month using content automation and ManyChat flows. - Jabu Ejendomme (Denmark): 80% follower growth and a 40% lift in conversions from Meta and Google Ads. Tools I use day to day: HubSpot, Zoho, n8n, Make, Zapier, Clay, ManyChat, Apollo, Instantly, Meta and Google Ads, GA4, and Power BI. How I work: strategy before tactics, systems instead of one-off campaigns, and full ownership of the funnel from first touch to closed revenue. I'm clear to communicate with, I hit deadlines, and I don't need managing. If your pipeline feels unpredictable right now, send me a message and we'll map out a 30-day growth plan for your business. No pressure either way.
