    I am a brand and marketing manager specializing in social media management, content creation, and brand strategy. I help brands strengthen their online presence through thoughtful planning, polished visuals, and clear, consistent storytelling. My expertise includes managing social media platforms, engaging with communities, setting up and optimizing Meta advertising campaigns, and providing data-driven performance reports. I develop strategic content calendars, design on-brand posts, carousels, stories, and short-form videos, and ensure visual and narrative consistency across all platforms. I also conduct full brand audits—reviewing visuals, tone of voice, audience insights, platform performance, and competitors—to deliver actionable recommendations and growth strategies. My approach is collaborative, structured, and hands-on. Whether managing social media, creating content, or guiding brand positioning, I focus on helping brands connect meaningfully with their audience and convert through strong visuals, smart strategy, and consistent execution. illustrator resume pdf article pitchdeck animator graphicdesigner…
