Hi, I’m Erin Mendez — a passionate digital marketing and social media professional with a track record of driving engagement and brand growth through creative storytelling and smart strategy. I’ve partnered closely with marketing directors, nonprofits, and global brands to craft impactful, video-first campaigns that resonate deeply (and perform well!). My approach is a mix of hands-on content creation and data-driven performance analysis. I love getting into the weeds to produce engaging, thoughtful content, but I’m just as passionate about digging into the numbers to understand what’s working, why it’s working, and how we can make it even better. I’ve had the absolute honor of supporting organizations like Creative Growth, Mission Bit, and Fostering Strategies, and collaborating with clients including The Atlantic, Elf on the Shelf, and Kahoot!. I’m always ready to bring fresh ideas to the table, no matter the digital environment. Let's talk!
