The art of storytelling is not dead
My Experience
August 2020-2024
Kerby's Nursery & The Kerby's Houseplant Shop - social media manager
Manage all five social media accounts for Kerby's Nursery and its houseplant shop. Within two years, both Instagram pages grew by 350% and 550%, respectfully. I also launched a TikTok account that accured 12,000+ followers in less than two years.
Oversaw all media aspects of the online shops, designed and distributed marketing emails, developed long-form educational videos for customers and training material for new hires, and collaborated with local businesses for giveaways and in-house events, which lead to an increase in social media presence and foot traffic at the Nursery.
Additionally, I assisted in-store customers and created unique product placement displays with various plants and garden decor.
