Thanks for taking a look at my profile. -I am a digital marketing expert that enjoys helping businesses grow through analysis and content generation. -I research and understand audiences, build content libraries, then I pair that content with strategic SEO campaigns, paid media, social media, email marketing, PR partnerships, and mindful content syndication. -Then I analyze, optimize, and reallocate for continuous improvement. -I build multi-channel funnels, landing pages, run A/B tests, CRO campaigns, and do work within CRMs. -I connect marketing to the sales pipeline to accelerate the sales pipeline, filling in data gaps. -I can do lead scoring and buyer intent. -I do it all, and I'm happy to do any of this for you. *A little about me* Sneaky Strategist: My favorite compliment from a coworker or client when I am explaining a strategy is “wow, glad you’re on our side.” :) On Collaboration, Ego, and Data: I am a low ego collaborator. I think data is more important than my opinions. I believe you should always start with a best practice if you can, have a hypothesis, then let the analytics guide your decisions. On Delivery, Communication, and Ethics: I’m not sure whether everyone likes me, but I think most everyone would say, “with Mal, what you see is what you get.” If I say I will do something, you can expect that I will do it. -I treat people with courtesy, kindness, and respect because it’s the right thing to do. And I do the right thing because doing the right thing feels good. My toolbox: -HubSpot CMS, Marketing Automation, CRM -MailChimp -Constant Contact -Ahrefs -SEMRush -Inlinks -Screaming Frog -WAIKAY -GA4 -Google Search Console -Many More!

🏆Featured on Upwork Success Stories 📈7 Years On Upwork 🌟 I help businesses run smoother, communicate better, and grow faster — and I've been doing it for over 8 years across client management, social media, writing, and virtual support. My background spans a range of roles that, taken together, make me a rare find: I can manage your client relationships with professionalism and care, run your social media with strategy and consistency, write copy that actually converts, and handle the behind-the-scenes operational work that keeps everything moving. Most clients don't need five different freelancers — they need one reliable person who gets the full picture. That's what I bring. Client & Account Management: I've spent years serving as the primary point of contact for clients across industries, managing expectations, running check-ins, resolving issues, and making sure no one ever feels left in the dark. I'm organized, responsive, and calm under pressure. Social Media Management: From content calendars and caption writing to scheduling, community engagement, and performance reporting, I handle social media end-to-end. I've managed accounts across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Pinterest for brands in e-commerce, wellness, real estate, and professional services. Virtual Assistance: I'm the person behind the scenes who makes sure the inbox is clean, the calendar makes sense, the deadlines are met, and nothing falls through the cracks. I've supported founders, executives, and teams with everything from email management and research to CRM updates and project coordination. Writing & Copywriting: Whether it's a website, an email sequence, a blog post, or a product description, I write with clarity, purpose, and the reader in mind. I adapt my voice to fit your brand and I deliver work that doesn't need three rounds of heavy edits. Experience: • Client Management • Project Management • SEO Writing, Content Writing, Blog Writing, and more • Digital Marketing • Social Media Growth and Management • Keyword Research • WordPress • Google Analytics and Google AdWords •Email Marketing *Please note that my job impact score is not a true reflection of my client's satisfaction, but a culmination of Upwork's ever-changing algorithim that I have not kept up with once I took a break from the platform. I am happy to provide client references!*
