Hello! I’m Jurnee, a social media manager and writer from New Zealand. I help brands grow their reach and build genuine connections with their audience through content that feels authentic and on-trend. My background working with tech start-ups in LA taught me the power of creating user-focused content that truly resonates with people. I specialise in creating social media content that’s in line with the latest trends and sparks conversation—whether it’s an engaging reel or a compelling static post that leaves an impression. My goal is to help brands stay relevant and connect with their audience in a way that feels authentic and engaging.

I'm a brand growth specialist and content strategist with 9+ years of hands-on experience building, scaling, and exiting consumer brands, including two businesses I founded and sold. I work with ecommerce and service-based businesses to grow their online presence through content that actually converts. That means social media strategy and management, UGC creation, short-form video scripting and editing, email marketing via Klaviyo, and Shopify store builds, all under one roof. I've managed full-scale social media accounts across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook, producing everything from carousels and reels to scripted UGC videos for brands in tech, fashion, luxury ecommerce, and medical education. I understand how to build content ecosystems that support the full customer journey, not just one-off posts. On the email side, I've built and managed Klaviyo flows end-to-end covering welcome sequences, abandoned cart, post-purchase, and re-engagement, with a focus on design that feels on-brand and not generic. What makes me different is that I've been the founder, the marketer, and the operator at the same time. I know what it actually takes to grow a brand from zero, which means I bring strategic thinking to every execution decision. Based in New Zealand. Available for ongoing retainers and project-based work.

Hi, I’m Gina, a Social Media Manager helping brands grow with strategy-led, engaging content! 👋 With 5+ years of experience across agency, in-house, and freelance roles, I help New Zealand and global businesses build strong social media presences that actually drive results, not just likes. I’ve worked across some of New Zealand’s most recognised brands and agencies, including DDB Aotearoa, where I managed social media for high-profile clients such as Samsung, Fonterra, and GO Healthy (Nestlé-owned), as well as Canon New Zealand & Australia as their Community and Social Media Specialist. Alongside this, I’ve partnered with a range of local NZ businesses to strengthen brand presence and build genuinely engaged online communities. Career highlights: 📱 Grew Samsung New Zealand’s TikTok channel by 278K+ followers 📈 Increased Canon New Zealand’s Instagram following by 4.6% 🎥 Scaled Canon NZ & Australia’s TikTok from 16K to 45K followers 🧠 Developed and executed the annual social media strategy for Canon NZ & Australia 🚀 Embedded social-first strategy for Brolly Sheets, increasing engagement and audience growth 🤝 Managed always-on social, campaign content, and creator partnerships within a fast-paced agency environment at DDB After working with iconic global and local brands, I’m especially passionate about helping small to medium-sized businesses grow on social, using the same strategic thinking I applied at agency and corporate level but tailored to your goals and budget. With diverse experience across e-commerce, technology, travel, wellness, and events, and a strong background spanning corporate, agency, and freelance, I have a strong understanding of what performs on social and how to tailor it to different audiences, platforms, and business goals. How I can support your business: 💡 Content Creation On-brand, engaging content designed to resonate with your audience and suit each platform. 💌 Community Management Responding to comments and DMs to build trust, loyalty, and meaningful engagement. 🗓️ Content Planning & Scheduling Organise and schedule your content, ensuring a consistent and effective social media presence. 📈 Social Media Strategy & Reporting Clear strategies backed by performance insights to optimise what’s working. 🤳 Influencer & Creator Management Sourcing, outreach, briefing, and relationship management with relevant creators. I focus on building strong, collaborative client relationships and providing exceptional service. By taking social media off your plate, you'll have more time to focus on driving sales and growing your business. Let’s connect and take your social media to the next level!
