Hey, I’m Dani, a social media and digital marketing strategist with over a decade of experience turning brands into connections that matter. From scaling social media channels to building thriving online communities, I specialize in blending strategy, creativity, and data to drive real results.

Some wins I’m proud of:
- Boosting followers by 77% and engagement by 84% in just one year.
- Launching campaigns that improved ROAS by 40% and cut CPC by 30%.
- Growing customer communities that reached 40% of users through newsletters and webinars.
- Collaborating with influencers to increase brand mentions by 40%.
- Developing strategies that brought in 30% more website traffic.

Along the way, I founded a 400-member community to support social media managers, volunteered to teach marketing basics to newcomers, and shared industry insights on my Vanity Metrics Podcast. Between mentoring teams and creating scroll-stopping campaigns, I love giving back to the social media world that’s given me so much and helping others level up while I do it.
