what DO I DO?

Social media, marketing & content strategy

I build social media, marketing and content plans that actually work. That means knowing what matters to your audience, staying ahead of platform shifts and trends, and showing up in ways that feel fresh, human and on-brand. No marketing BS — just strategies built to connect and convert.

Live Events

From award shows to game day, I help productions meet the moment in ways that feel as real and exciting online as they do IRL. I do everything from leading on-the-ground teams to capturing content as it happens while keeping feeds moving with purpose and personality. It’s organized chaos, and to me, this is the heart of great social: real-time, high-energy, and totally unrepeatable.

brand & campaign launch

I work with clients from the ground up, guiding custom strategies and campaign plans from idea to launch, and into the day-to-day. Whether setting goals or building the content and marketing systems to reach them, I help brands make sure every move feels intentional. It’s not just about launching. It’s about lasting.

On the mic

Whether it’s a red carpet interview or a client presentation, I show up ready to connect. I do my homework, ask good questions, listen closely, and bring energy without being over the top. For me it’s about knowing how to read a room and make the conversation worth having.

Talent & Influencer relations

I collaborate with talent on campaigns and content that actually works — for them and the brand. That means partnering with the right talent, giving guidance that makes sense, and making sure the final product feels shareable, thoughtful, on-brand, and aligned. Whatever the moment calls for, I make the process smooth, clear, and collaborative.

Leadership

My leadership style is collaborative and people-centered. I’m focused on building trust, keeping communication open, and helping the team stay aligned without losing momentum. I like to set the tone, not just the timeline, and I’m never above jumping in when it helps move things forward.

What else?

  • I help teams make sense of their social and content approach — what to say, how to say it, and where it all fits in the bigger picture. As a consultant I sharpen their social and marketing efforts, offering honest guidance and ideas that feel right for their voice (and their bandwidth).

  • I’m the go-between who builds real relationships with clients by actually understanding both sides. I make sure the creative feels strategic, the strategy feels human, and the client always knows what’s going on.

  • I help shape brands from the inside out, clarifying voice, tone, values, and personality so everything else not only makes sense, but moves in the right direction.

  • Social data isn’t always neat, but I know how to make sense of it. I bring the same curiosity to analytics as I do to creative: What’s working? Why now? What’s changed? I look at the full picture (performance metrics, qualitative feedback, platform quirks, timing, creative choices) and translate it into useful direction that doesn’t lose the nuance.

  • This is where brand voice meets real people. I help shape and manage engagement strategies that are thoughtful, human, and responsive — whether I’m writing the replies, planning the outreach or helping teams navigate what to say, how to say it, and why it matters.

  • It’s not just about who you work with, it’s about why and how. I bring structure, clarity, and creativity to influencer campaigns, from setting goals to shaping deliverables that feel right for the platform and the partner.

  • I create digital content that people actually want to read, watch, or share. From social videos to carousels to newsletters and articles, it’s always tailored to the format, and made to be sharable, entertaining and scroll-stopping.

  • There’s a difference between good grammar and good voice. I’ve been writing and editing for years and I’ve learned how much a brand’s tone depends on instincts you can’t fake: humor, rhythm, and, occasionally, risk-taking.

  • Behind every good newsletter is a better strategy. I combine sharp editorial instincts with marketing know-how, crafting content that aligns with brand goals, audience behavior, and long-term growth. From cadence to conversion, I look at the full picture.

  • I treat paid media like a long game, not a guessing game. From budget allocation to creative placement, I focus on sustainable growth, not just spikes. I’ve worked directly with brand partners and sponsors to build paid strategies that actually map back to bigger goals.

What People Are Saying

“Creating a social presence from nothing, strategies that are effective and genuine and a partner who quickly becomes a part of the team (creatively and as simply one of the best humans) are all things you will gain from working with Kay. I cannot wait to have an excuse to call them up again for a new collab.”

— Sabrina Dridje, Sabrina Dridje Consultancy | former head of new programs at recognition media

“Kay single handedly launched and scaled multiple social platforms for our brand while helping to craft and sharpen our voice AND foster our community. If you want a strategic and diligent partner who is also incredibly caring and thoughtful, call Kay!”

— Jessica Lauretti, Creative, Marketing & Communications Executive | Former-RYOT, Purpose & VICE

“I don’t know if we will find someone who can hold a candle to the work Kay has done. Like, people READ our newsletters! Many folks in fact have told me so. That is high praise to hear over and over again. I mean, I love reading them myself, but I just thought it was a bias. Nope, Kay creates badass newsletters!”

— Mercy M’Fon Shammah, Founder & Executive Director of Wild Diversity
