Brand manager with 5 years building lifestyle brands, leading creator and influencer programmes, and driving community growth across social and digital channels. I bring a genuine cultural instinct and a working understanding of what makes audiences engage—from the brand side, but as an active creator with real beverage and lifestyle brand partnerships. I’ve launched brands from the ground up, built creator networks end to end, managed agencies and production partners, and delivered integrated campaigns across paid and owned channels. I’m comfortable owning a content programme, briefing creatives, tracking performance, and turning ideas into action. I’ve led cross-functional teams to deliver content-led campaigns, built creator networks, and collaborated with hospitality and lifestyle brands to drive awareness and revenue. My approach blends storytelling with data-driven optimization to ensure every piece of content moves the brand forward and resonates with real audiences.
