“I think like a strategist and work like a creator.”

ABOUT ME

I am a Senior Social Media & Content Strategist with a proven ability to manage end-to-end social media operations — from strategy development and content planning to execution, community management, and performance tracking. With over 6 years of experience, I support brands in building structured, scalable social media presences aligned with business objectives.

My competitive advantage is versatility: I understand strategy at a high level while remaining closely involved in content creation and campaign delivery. This allows me to adapt quickly, collaborate effectively with teams, and deliver results across multiple platforms and markets.

Dubai Optical

Eyewear retailer established in Dubai

  • Role

    Social Media & Content Strategist (Project-based)

  • Platforms

    Instagram, LinkedIn, In-store digital screens (LCD)

  • Project Overview

    Dubai Optical is a well-established eyewear retailer in a highly competitive retail market. The brand needed a more strategic, cohesive social media presence that balanced product promotion with education, lifestyle content, and premium brand positioning — while also aligning online content with in-store customer experience.

> The challenge

  • Social content lacked a clear content structure and storytelling framework

  • Heavy product focus without enough educational or value-driven content

  • Need to better connect online discovery with in-store purchasing moments

  • Competitive eyewear market with visually similar brands

> The Strategy

  •  I developed a content-led social media strategy designed to educate, inspire, and convert, while reinforcing Dubai Optical’s positioning as a trusted eyewear expert.

  • I proposed a store opening and UAE National Day event plans to support social media campaigns, in-store brand activation, foot traffic, and content creation opportunities (UGC). link to slides here.
