I am a social media strategist and content creator with over 10 years of experience building and managing fan-driven communities across music, sports, and entertainment. I have created and grown multiple fan-style promotion pages and have worked directly with 7+ independent artists, including managing artist-focused accounts for emerging musicians such as 7evin7ins, where my TikTok and Instagram short-form strategies significantly increased views, engagement, and fan interaction. Through my work at TLR Distribution, a music distribution company, I supported release promotion, fan engagement campaigns, and organic growth strategies designed to expand artist reach. I also founded Game Plan Socials, my social media services company specializing in short-form video, viral content strategy, and fan-community growth for independent artists, athletes, and brands. My experience includes producing reels, memes, and trend-driven content, coordinating posting schedules with artists and teams, monitoring analytics to optimize performance, and building authentic fan communities that turn listeners into loyal supporters!
