The spark

Every idea
needs a voice.

Words. Images. A reason to stop scrolling.

My marketing practice brings brand voice, content strategy and creative execution together. At ILEM Japan, that meant editorial calendars, campaign copy, brand voice and SEO-led content for beauty and wellness.

Start with what people care about.

The question

What happens
after the attention?

That’s where strategy comes in.

At Woods at Sasan, I connect paid campaigns, organic content, website work and performance reporting. The work moves between understanding the numbers and deciding what to do next.

Selected figures from my marketing resume. Campaign and monthly measures reflect different scopes; they are not booking or revenue results.

A decision behind the numbers +

I retired two underperforming campaign line items and launched a new campaign. My reporting also identified the brand-versus-non-brand SEO gap, helping reframe the focus toward guest acquisition.
