About me
Hello, I'm Kenny (she/her). I am a creative who enjoys working in the design, social media and digital marketing industry. I seek opportunities that join together content creation and the design sector. Anything from personal branding, social media analysis and creative direction, I am someone to rely on. From my marketing experience as a Marketing Assistant, I am able to maximise reach on social platforms such as Instagram, Twitter and Facebook to connect people and extend brand impressions. Through the use of analytics to measure growth and to meet the targets and objectives of your company or brand. I can provide effective content calendars and create engaging and innovative ideas for scheduled posts. Your brand's image can be optimised by creating consistent and cohesive visuals, which can be achieved by referring to brand guidelines. I have created successful brand guidelines previously through my skills in Adobe Indesign and Illustrator to create brand assets. Reaching your short-term and long-term goals will be my priority as I can provide effective strategies to exponentially extend your brand or company's growth. I also have a background in brand creative direction as I have worked with fashion design and photography. I can conceptualise shoots and photo edit with my skills in Adobe suite software such as Photoshop. Examples can be seen on fashion brand Famously Famous brand on Instagram.
