My name is Renāte and I am a social media professional with 8 years of experience. I started my career in social media marketing as an intern at a company that is now one of my long-time clients.

My work and results were noticed by a website development company looking for "new blood" for their social media marketing department. In 2016, I became a full-time social media manager in this company.

In 2018, a major reorganization took place in the company, and I decided to go in a different direction. I created my one-person agency "Čiekurs Media", where I have been working for 5 years.

During these years, I have gained a lot of experience working with both small and large companies in Latvia and abroad. I have created and still create social media strategies, manage company social media accounts, create content, and advise entrepreneurs on social media marketing.

Thank you to every client who has entrusted me with this important and responsible mission - to promote their brand on social media. 🧡
