Hi, I’m Jason Lin, a US-based social media marketer and content strategist with a dual background in Computer Science and Advertising from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I drive growth across TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook, handling both organic and paid campaigns. Recently, a Memorial Day ad for Empire Puppies generated 128K+ views and sparked direct customer inquiries, while a paid campaign delivered 200+ registrations, with 112 converting to paid members and about $9,968 in monthly recurring revenue. Right now I sustain a $3,140+ monthly content retainer, producing 60+ short-form videos and 4-8 long-form videos per month. I’ve built a restaurant’s web presence (China Cafe) that generated 600K+ impressions and $15K+ in annual revenue, and I’ve led copywriting, SMS campaigns, and promotional graphics across multiple holidays and events. I’m pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science + Advertising at UIUC (Spring 2026), and I love turning data into creative, audience-first campaigns that move the needle.
