    paper My School Tips and Tricks TikTok client work (@makiscontentgrowth on Instagram)

    I was hired to help someone grow their TikTok page focused on school tips and tricks, with the goal of increasing attention, engagement, and overall traffic. Before I stepped in, their content wasn’t reaching the algorithm consistently, and the page needed a strong creative strategy to break through.

    I worked closely with them to craft a high-retention video using a strong hook, fast pacing, and a relatable angle that students would instantly connect with. The very first video I helped create went viral, hitting 1.8 million views and generating 9,000 new followers from that single post.

    From there, I developed a simple, repeatable content structure they could use for future videos—focusing on clarity, storytelling, and using TikTok-native editing techniques to keep viewers watching longer.

    This project showed how the right creative direction and platform-specific strategy can transform a small educational page into one with massive reach and real momentum almost overnight.

    paper My TikTok project (Krusade Nutrition 0-9k Followers)

    I helped grow a starter protein bar company’s TikTok account completely from scratch, transforming it into a fast-moving, attention-grabbing brand. From day one, I focused on understanding the product, the audience, and the types of hooks that make people stop scrolling.

    Through trend-driven content, punchy edits, and storytelling around the product, I consistently created videos that performed well on the algorithm. Many of the posts reached hundreds of thousands of views, generating thousands of likes, comments, and shares. Most importantly, the account built a genuine and engaged community.

    I built a repeatable content system based on strong hooks, creator-style filming, and UGC-style formats that made the brand feel real and relatable. This approach allowed us to post quickly, adapt fast, and stay aligned with what TikTok culture rewards.

    By combining creativity with data-driven iteration, I scaled the account from zero to a highly engaged audience that boosted brand awareness, increased demand, and positioned the company as a standout in the crowded health & wellness space.
