Available to hire
I’m Lina Chalak, a digital marketing and e-commerce specialist with 13 years of corporate experience focused on performance marketing, strategy, and platforms like Shopify, Meta Ads, and Google Ads. I transitioned out of corporate in September 2023 to focus on freelancing, and since August 2025 I’ve been contracted with Lion Advisory as Media Performance & Strategy Lead, managing multi-channel paid campaigns and strategic growth for global clients across fashion, beauty, health, fintech, and SaaS. I’m now seeking a full-time remote role where I can contribute at scale, bring structure and growth to a team, and continue to build long-term impact.
