Your social media needs more than posts. It needs a strategy, a clear voice, and consistent execution. I help founders, personal brands, beauty businesses, and women-led companies build social media that actually supports growth. My focus is Instagram and TikTok content strategy, Reels, caption writing, content planning, and ongoing social media management through monthly retainers. What clients get working with me: • A monthly content strategy built around your brand and audience. • Content calendars, captions, scripts, and post planning. • Reels and TikTok support designed for consistency and engagement. • A structured retainer so you are not managing the process yourself. I built my own brand, Career Girl Global, to 128,000 followers and 8M+ organic reach without paid ads. I have also helped a creator grow from 2,000 to 12,000 followers in four months, and supported a restaurant campaign that generated two Reels with 100K+ and 200K+ views. I work best with clients who want a strategic partner, not someone to simply post content and disappear. If you want a consistent social presence that reflects the quality of your brand, I’d love to talk.
