Overview

Vendador, a US-based company, needed to establish a strong social media presence across multiple platforms, monetizing social media while managing resources efficiently as a growing small business.

What I helped

  • Monitor and analyze marketing metrics on social media and website, test new marketing tactics and propose effective marketing strategies.
  • Direct content strategy on across 06 marketing channels
  • Create and edit content for day-to-day brand communication on all digital platforms

Approach

Diversifying: Going from posting only about food to a more holistic approach of “crafting an extraordinary experience”, I develop a content strategy that cover 4 main content pillars:

  • Creative process & inspiration
  • Cooking tutorial & recipe        
  • Storytelling: Running a private dining business
  • Subtle conversational CTA

Repurposing: Using resource efficiently is one of our biggest challenges since filming at events is tricky. To maintain always-on content, I apply repurposing of performing content with tactics like turning a newsletter with a high open rate into a carousel, or compiling old reels under one specific theme, for example, a cut of all finishing touches moments.

Optimizing: I help Vendador optimize all social media channels to improve performance and monetization. As a proponent of growth, I also experiment with content monthly to identify what works and double down on it.

Social Listening: Constantly researching for new filming trends, trending audio and adapting, not replicating.

Creative Contribution: Actively engage in rebranding discussion, videography direction, and testing options for new brand aesthetic and visuals.
