Drives social media marketing for Nzime and our clients, focusing on content and strategy to create engaging campaigns that elevate brand presence across platforms.
We’ve broken down our social retainer process, from our focused Discovery phase to content creation and performance analysis, offering a clear understanding of how we build and optimise communication strategies that grow brands, drive conversions, and foster brand advocacy.
With this approach, we allow brands to connect with their audience, rather than speaking at them.
