Stephanie S.

I'm a marketing strategist with over 9 years of experience helping businesses build their brands, connect with their audiences, and grow through digital marketing. I've worked across hospitality, e-commerce, nonprofits, lifestyle brands, and B2B businesses, handling everything from social media and content creation to email marketing, campaign development, and overall marketing strategy. Most recently, I was the Marketing Director for River Restaurant Group, where I managed marketing for three restaurant concepts in St. Augustine and Jacksonville, Florida. My role covered pretty much everything: social media strategy, photography, video production, email campaigns, website management, events, promotions, and reporting. A few highlights from that experience: - Helped grow Saint's Instagram from 0 to 15,500+ followers organically. - Created a Reel that reached over 152,000 views. - Helped develop a Valentine's campaign that contributed to a $40,000 increase in year-over-year revenue. - Managed marketing across three different restaurant brands, each with its own audience, personality, and goals. Before that, I worked at Meerkat Media, where I supported brands like SmartBox, a monthly healthy snack subscription box. My work included social media management, content creation, video editing, influencer partnerships, and email marketing. I also have experience in nonprofit marketing through United Way and EPIC Behavioral Healthcare, where I worked on community outreach, fundraising initiatives, event promotion, and communications. **Here's what I can help with:** - **Social Media Management:** Strategy, content calendars, posting, community engagement, and reporting across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and LinkedIn. - **Email Marketing:** Campaigns, newsletters, automated flows, segmentation, and retention strategies using Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Constant Contact, and HubSpot. - **Marketing Strategy:** Campaign planning, brand positioning, marketing audits, product launches, and ongoing digital marketing support. - **Content Creation:** Reels, TikToks, photography, video editing, graphics, and copywriting. - **E-commerce Marketing:** Product promotions, customer engagement, influencer partnerships, and subscription-based marketing. - **Website & Digital Content:** Website updates, landing pages, promotional content, and customer experience improvements. I'm comfortable jumping into an existing marketing setup, figuring out what's working (and what isn't), and helping businesses move forward without making things unnecessarily complicated. I enjoy the creative side of marketing, but I also care about the strategy behind it. A great-looking post is nice, but it should serve a purpose, whether that's bringing in customers, increasing sales, building awareness, or keeping an audience engaged. If you're looking for someone who can bring ideas to the table, take ownership of projects, and actually get things done, I'd love to hear about what you're working on.
