I make content people actually stop scrolling for
— and act on.

I'm Emmanuel — a social media manager and content strategist with 5+ years across digital design, UX, and organic growth. I help founders, creators and brands turn their feeds into a steady source of inbound.

Most "social media managers" are either great at design or great at numbers. I'm trained in both. An MSc in UX Design taught me how to read user behaviour, run tests, and build content systems where every post earns its slot — not just fills the grid.

That means strategy that's measured weekly, content that's tested before it's scaled, and reporting that ties what we post back to what the business actually cares about: leads, signups, sales.

Credential MSc, UX Design. Birmingham City University, 2023. Research-driven approach to content — every concept ladders back to a user behaviour or business outcome.

Research first. Then we post.

01 / Research
Audit & audience
Two weeks of listening before a single post goes out. Competitor teardowns, audience interviews, comment-mining, search-trend pulls. The brief is built from data, not vibes.
02 / Strategy
Content pillars
4–6 content pillars built around what your audience genuinely cares about — and what your business needs them to do next. Every post traces back to a pillar.
03 / Production
Test, then scale
Every new format is shipped as a small test batch first. We let the data say what works, kill what doesn't, and double down on the winners — instead of guessing.
04 / Reporting
Tied to outcomes
Monthly reports that go past reach. We track inbound DMs, profile-to-link CTR, qualified leads — the metrics your operations team actually cares about.

Five services. One operator.

01 Content strategy Audits, pillar systems, monthly calendars and quarterly roadmaps. The plan you'd build if you had time to sit with the data for two weeks straight. Audit · Pillars · Calendar
02 Short-form video Reels, TikToks and YouTube Shorts — concepted, scripted, edited. Hook-first writing that's been A/B tested across 200+ pieces. Reels · TikTok · Shorts
03 Carousel & static design UX-informed carousels that finish — proper hierarchy, scannable copy, swipe-rate built in. Statics that look like a brand, not a template. Carousels · Statics
04 Community management Reply windows, DM triage, comment surfacing, sentiment monitoring. The unsexy work that quietly compounds reach. DMs · Comments · Triage
05 Analytics & reporting Monthly performance reports tied to business outcomes — not just impressions. Quarterly reviews with clear next-quarter bets. Reports · Dashboards

Case 02 Vanta Strength · Boutique Fitness Studio · IG · TikTok · Mar–Aug 2024

From empty class slots to a 4-week waitlist — in five months of organic.

Starting Point
A new boutique gym in East London with 3.4K followers, no posting cadence, and an instructor team taking turns making content between classes. Class fill-rate hovered around 40%.
What I Did
Built a member-led content engine: structured "member transformation" interviews, repeatable Reel formats around the four signature classes, and a coach-led education pillar. Two posts and one Reel a day on Instagram, four TikToks a week.
Why It Worked
Treating the gym's regulars as the cast — not the instructors — gave us an endless source of authentic, format-stable content that didn't burn out the coaches.

5AM Class — Raw, Unedited Walkthrough
Case 03 Northcrest & Co. · Independent Brokerage · IG · LinkedIn · Jan–Jun 2025

Turning a quiet listing feed into the brokerage's top two lead sources.

Starting Point
A 12-agent brokerage with two passive Instagram accounts (corporate + founder), 890 combined followers, and listings posted as carousels with stock copy. Zero attributed inbound from social.
What I Did
Rebuilt the founder's LinkedIn around three pillars — local market data, deal teardowns, behind-the-scenes negotiation. On Instagram, replaced listing photos with 30-second walkthrough Reels, neighbourhood guides and "what just sold" recaps.
Why It Worked
Buyers don't follow brokerages — they follow agents who feel like locals. We made the founder the face, the listings the proof, and the DMs the inbox.
