Summary
I believe that I am the right person for the job because I am constantly keeping up with current social media trends for my own personal projects. Have great attention to detail, and come equipped with all the skills and equipment your social media manager will need.
I am capable of doing full photoshoots of your cats and facilities as well as whatever else could be turned into engaging social media content, and will be creating stunning promotional videos and optimizing the time of day and day of the week that content gets posted.
As a talented local that has ran their own social media for over 10 years for various art projects, and professionally for several different companies for 5 years, I look forward to helping your business grow online and and converting social engagement to become repeat customers.
