About me
I have been working in social media for almost 3 years, managing both company owned as well as client accounts across multiple platforms including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Google Plus, interacting with 'followers', running campaigns and competitions and growing followers across all platforms. I have also recently started running a personal Instagram blog-style page with my sister in law, finally putting all my food and travel adventures to good use! (instagram.com/mayesxrasha) My clients have included Al Faisaliah Hotel, Jumeirah at Etihad Towers and the World Travel Awards. With Etihad Towers, I flew over to Abu Dhabi in order to cover the F1 Grand Prix weekend. The most fun and hectic two weeks of my social media career! It was great covering all the dinners and events in real-time, all the while hanging out with celebrities including Michael Caines, Eddie Jordan, Felipe Massa, Lindsay Lohan and the Prince of Bavaria! I currently lead a team of 5 social media experts; together we have enabled VENDS to generate over 1.8 Billion views and amass over 1.8 Million followers. I have experience using scheduling tools including Hootsuite and Sendible. I am fluent in French.
