I'm Brooklyn Gibbs, a brand and community-driven creator who has grown a Substack on internet culture and the indie web to 8,000+ organic subscribers, and who runs paid and organic social for a consumer mobile startup across Meta, TikTok, Reddit, and Instagram. I treat Reddit as a culture, not a checkbox, and I bring hands-on craft across content, ad creative, and editorial; I’m comfortable moving between quantitative dashboards and qualitative cultural signal; and my Computer Science background makes analytics and platform tooling second nature. I thrive at the intersection of culture and growth, building communities and products with data-informed intuition. I’ve launched newsletters and growth experiments, managed cross-platform campaigns, and collaborated with freelancers to maintain visual and tonal consistency. I’m deeply plugged into internet culture, Reddit subcultures, Substack discourse, and indie-web aesthetics, translating cultural fluency into content that performs.
