Can you give an example of a successful content strategy you implemented in the past?
One example of a successful content strategy I implemented was during my time managing campaigns for a wellness brand. The goal was to increase engagement and drive awareness around a seasonal product launch. I built a strategy that focused on short-form video across Instagram Reels and TikTok, since that’s where our target audience was most active. Instead of polished, ad-like content, we leaned into authentic, behind-the-scenes style videos — showing workouts, product use in daily routines, and fun lifestyle clips. I also coordinated with micro-influencers to create user-generated style content to make it feel organic. To keep everything cohesive, we used a consistent color palette, trending audio, and hooks in the first 3 seconds to boost retention. As a result, engagement on Reels increased by 45%, our TikTok following grew by 20% in that month, and we saw a measurable lift in sales during the campaign window. It was a great reminder that leaning into authentic, trend-driven but branded content can outperform traditional ads

How do you approach creating visually appealing content for social media?
When creating visually appealing content for social media, I focus on combining strategy, design, and storytelling. First, I consider the platform and audience, since content that performs well on TikTok may look very different from what resonates on Instagram or LinkedIn. From there, I make sure the visuals are clean, cohesive, and on-brand by using consistent colors, fonts, and editing styles, while also paying attention to elements like lighting, framing, and motion to make the content stand out. I always aim to tell a story that captures attention quickly, whether through a strong opening, behind-the-scenes perspective, or human element, since people connect most with content that feels relatable. Finally, I review performance metrics and test variations to see what resonates, which allows me to balance creativity with data and continually refine content to stop the scroll and engage the audience.
