My hands-on experience in digital marketing extends to not just managing, but actively growing social media communities with a data-driven approach. For instance, in my role as a Social Media Assistant, I cultivated and executed a dynamic content strategy across Instagram and TikTok. Through consistent visual storytelling, strategic use of trending audio, and audience-centric content, I successfully increased engagement by an average of 30% within a three-month period. This growth was achieved by continuously monitoring performance via Meta Business Suite, analyzing top-performing posts to identify key engagement drivers, and rapidly iterating on content formats. My strategic approach to content amplification and community interaction consistently pushed our organic reach, with several key campaigns achieving an estimated reach of upwards of 100,000 unique users, demonstrating my ability to significantly expand brand visibility and connect with a broad audience."
