Work Sample: The Unsung Collective
As the social media manager for The Unsung Collective, under the direction of Dr. Tyrone Clinton Jr., I demonstrate a diverse skill set encompassing social media management, analytics analysis, and grassroots community engagement. In my role, I am responsible for curating and producing organic content, including feed posts, reels, compelling captions, website updates, newsletter copy, and linktree enhancements. Through my efforts, I have significantly increased The Unsung Collective's visibility, growing our follower count from less than 300 to over 600. Notably, our engagement through reels has consistently garnered 800-1,000 views daily on Instagram. Our impact has transcended borders, with social media playing a pivotal role in our organization's discovery and subsequent feature in a Brazilian exhibit. Having joined The Unsung Collective in December 2022, I have implemented a consistent social media strategy, contributing to our growth and success since its inception in 2020.
