Hire the Best Viral Marketers in California

I’m a Viral Content & Growth Marketing Project Manager. I have a deep understand of growing strong audiences on social media by capturing and retaining the right viewers' attention. I specialize in an agile approach to TikTok, Reels, and short-form media strategy. I oversee full-cycle execution of social media growth across TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, managing ideation, scripting, filming, editing, creative production, as well as sprint-based rollouts, and performance optimization. I’ve scaled multiple accounts to over 200K+ followers and generated more than one billion organic views across platforms. Furthermore, as a UGC creator and expert, I craft high-converting, native-feel content that seamlessly blends brand messaging with platform-specific trends. I serve as both Creative Strategist and Execution Project Manager, scripting, producing, and deploying branded TikToks and Reels that drive measurable engagement and conversions. From brand identity development to campaign analytics, I align creative direction with business objectives to maximize visibility, audience retention, and ROI.

Most clients come to me when they feel stuck. - Their socials aren't growing - They don't know what / who their brand is - They can't connect with audiences that actually support them (through purchase, purpose or engagement) My role is to create a bespoke solution because as much as agencies and some marketing professionals would like you to believe - nothing is one size fits all. I'm a jack of many trades: Branding, Content Production, Social Strategy, Camera Coaching, Creator Partnerships, Funnel Building & Content Monetization. Anything I haven't developed a rich experience in is supported by a hand-picked team of extraordinary collaborators I have in Los Angeles. For 10+ years, I've helped struggling thought-leaders, actors, brand founders and content creators adjust course and achieve excellence. I should be clear that I'm guided by some very fundamental ideals that don't resonate with everyone: 1) I believe in conviction. You must polarize with your brand / platform. A point of view is required. I don't mean rage-bait. I don't mean talk politics. I mean be so clearly what you are (as a brand or founder) that people say "Heck yes this is for me." OR "Hell no, this isn't for me." Neutrality is where dreams go to die. 2) You can't survive on an island. Partnerships and relationships are essential. In 2026, the isolationist mentality will not keep your start-up, content career or speaking tour alive. You have to build community. 3) Steady growth. If your focus is on virality or blowing up overnight, we're not a match. Not because I don't enjoy virality (many of my clients have gone viral multiple times - we love it!), but because I always put intention and long-term vision first. We make such great and strategic decisions that virality becomes a sign of the working system. And when we go viral, it's hitting an intentional audience that will actually support the mission. If those values feel aligned. Here's what I help with: • Clarifying brand positioning and messaging • Fixing stalled social growth • Building influencer and ambassador programs • Partnership and sponsorship strategy • Talent positioning and brand alignment • Content direction and ecosystem strategy • Affiliate and creator programs • Growth strategy for DTC and creator-led brands Recent Results: • 2x–6x audience and engagement growth across brands • 400K+ authentic followers generated • 20M+ organic video views • Ambassador programs scaled into the hundreds • Six-figure affiliate programs built from scratch • Hundreds of influencer deals negotiated Message me if you have questions. I'd love to join you on your journey and achieve excellence together.
