Content Creation
High-Impact Content Strategy
I led a team of content strategists, executing weekly shoots with actors, influencers, and celebrities to create up to 300 assets weekly for all Relatable brands. Each brand received a tailored content strategy, optimized for high engagement and community building across 35 channels. My work included developing unique strategies, ensuring engaging and effective content, and fostering a collaborative environment to drive continuous innovation.
Influencer Campaigns
Executed a Seven-Figure Influencer Budget
I managed an extensive network of in-house influencers, executing marketing campaigns that supported both launch and evergreen titles. Key initiatives included:
Product Launches
Go-to-Market Strategies
I developed and executed go-to-market strategies for new games and titles in emerging markets for the Relatable brand.
Strategic Campaigns: From Social Buzz to Market Success
From concept to market domination, I expertly launched new products and penetrated new markets through strategic go-to-market and social media campaigns for leading brands in the entertainment and toy industries. By managing high-profile partnerships with well-known industry players, I ensured maximum visibility and engagement for our products. My comprehensive approach drove impressive sales and sustained growth, solidifying our brands’ market presence.
