I began working with Big Buns, as a passion project, as I have a keen interest in Social Media Management. I managed their Instagram, Facebook and TikTok accounts, growing the platforms by a collective 40% increase in followers within the first 30 days. I helped them gain 50,000 TikTok followers, over 105,000 likes and almost 1,200,000 views within two weeks. From this point, I maintained and created new client relationships with Food Bloggers and Influencers, as well as coordinating events and bookings for 3 sites. I was personally responsible for replies to all messages and comments. The experience in this role allowed me to develop successful marketing strategies for the business which were then applied to our paid advertising campaigns that helped to improve reach and following.
