Daven M.

Hello! My name is Daven (rhymes with Raven!) and I am the owner of KAZU Creative - A boutique design hub specializing in social media content creation and management. We help small brands with limited budgets maximize their resources by finding innovative ways to create consistent, effective content with the intention of increasing traffic, sales, and organic audience growth. ARE YOU LOOKING FOR AN EXPERT TO DO A SOCIAL MEDIA AUDIT ON ALL OF YOUR CHANNELS AND IDENTIFY WHAT CAN BE DONE BETTER? ARE YOU AN AGENCY LOOKING FOR A RELIABLE FREELANCER TO DELIVER TIMELY, QUALITY WORK WITH MINIMAL SUPERVISION?

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO HELP CLARIFY YOUR MARKETING MESSAGE AND TURN IT INTO SOMETHING POWERFUL AND MEANINGFUL? **SPECIAL NOTE TO ALL EMPLOYERS** Building relationships and earning trust is very important to me. I will always be open and honest if I don't feel like we are a good fit, I don't think I can deliver results, or the scope of work is outside of my wheelhouse. Please be wary of individuals who promise results and offer social content without proposing a strategy. I care about my clients and employers and do not like to see monetary resources being used erroneously. **ALSO AVAILABLE FOR CONSULTATIONS** Are you a brand that would like someone to review your social accounts and give you feedback on what you could improve on? Are you a content creator who would love a new perspective and fresh take on creating new ways of telling your story?

Are you overwhelmed with marketing and don’t know what is the best use of your limited budget? If you are in need of clarity, guidance, advice, or coaching with content creation, social media marketing, brand management, graphic design, and/or managing marketing initiatives, please consider a consultation to gain clarity on your questions, needs, and direction!
