Hi there! I'm Michelle Tyler, founder of Genuine Ginger and a social media strategist with over a decade of experience helping brands grow through storytelling, community building, and data-driven content. I've led strategy for national and international brands, managed day-to-day planning, created on-trend content, and fostered meaningful conversations across platforms. I thrive in fast-paced environments and have experience juggling 5-10 brands at a time, collaborating to find the best solutions, and turning insights into action. I'm passionate about impactful communication—whether it's guiding my team, crafting posts, or producing engaging videos. I love analytics, especially engagement rate, and in my current client work our average ER is over 3%, more than 4x the industry average.
