I help brands bridge the gap between "posting content" and "driving revenue." As a Fractional Growth Strategist and Performance Marketer, I specialize in architecting complete social systems and paid media frameworks that turn cold traffic into active clients. I don’t do fluff, vanity metrics, or basic post-scheduling. My approach is entirely data-driven, focusing on three core pillars: Short-Form Video & Content Architecture: Mapping out high-retention channel mixes, content calendars, and hook strategies across TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Creative Bench Direction: Writing foolproof creative briefs and directing freelance creators and editors to keep production pipelines moving without client micromanagement. Paid Media & Funnel Optimization: Auditing ad accounts to eliminate budget waste, fixing conversion bottlenecks, and scaling ROAS for both B2B and DTC brands.

I help US-based businesses, founders, service providers, and growing brands turn social media into a consistent organic growth and lead-generation system through content strategy, content calendars, video repurposing, community management, and performance tracking. Most brands do not struggle because they lack content ideas. They struggle because their content is inconsistent, scattered, and not connected to a clear business goal. My focus is to build a simple, organized social media workflow that helps your brand stay visible, attract the right audience, and turn content into inbound leads, booked calls, and real business conversations. What I Can Help With 1. Organic Social Media Management I manage social media platforms across LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and X. This includes content calendars, captions, hashtags, posting schedules, profile optimization, community engagement, and weekly content direction. 2. Lead Generation Through Content I help turn social media content into business opportunities through stronger CTAs, founder-led content, audience-focused messaging, profile optimization, DM/comment engagement, and content built around your audience’s real problems, objections, and buying triggers. 3. Content Strategy & Calendar Systems I build monthly content calendars, content pillars, posting workflows, approval systems, and repeatable content structures so your brand can publish consistently without feeling disorganized. 4. Video Repurposing & Short-Form Content I turn long-form videos, podcasts, webinars, CEO interviews, and YouTube content into Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn clips, and social media posts using strong hooks, clean pacing, captions, and platform-ready formatting. 5. Workflow Automation & Reporting I use tools like n8n, Airtable, Notion, Google Workspace, Canva, CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Looker Studio to organize content workflows, track performance, and make the social media process easier to manage. Proven Results • Helped a high-end wedding filmmaker become 80% booked in 3 weeks through organic content, archive repurposing, and DM management • Scaled fitness creator content to 7M+ views in 1 month through YouTube clip repurposing for TikTok and Instagram Reels • Managed LinkedIn and X content for Summit Financial Group, increasing organic impressions by 150% and generating 20+ B2B leads per month • Supported Chasing Sunrise’s Everest trip campaign with daily Reels, social content, and community engagement for 30+ participants • Built n8n automation workflows for social media content creation, marketing, and lead-generation systems My process is structured and transparent. I start by reviewing your current social media, audience, offer, and goals. Then I build the content direction, organize the calendar, create or repurpose the assets, manage posting, track performance, and improve the strategy based on what is actually working. Send me your social media links, niche, and main goal, and I’ll help you identify what to fix first and what content to prioritize for organic growth and lead generation.
