Hello! I’m Awoniyi Oluwatobi, a seasoned Social Media Manager and Growth Strategist with 12+ years of experience helping eCommerce and service brands scale. I specialize in social media strategy, paid media (Meta & Google), SEO optimization, Shopify store design, video production, localization, and Google My Business optimization. I take a data-driven approach to content funnels, audience segmentation, and CRO, blending technical skills (GA4, GTM, Shopify customization) with creative execution (video editing, short-form content, repurposing long-form assets) to deliver repeatable growth. My work delivers multi-channel campaigns with ROAS improvements, organic follower growth, and eCommerce conversion lifts. I’m open to freelance, contract, and in-house roles and I’m excited to build scalable systems that turn traffic into predictable sales.
