About Me

HI THERE, I’M Alana!

I’m a freelance, Chicago-based, social media manager and visual designer. I’m ​passionate about connecting with people through branding and design and I believe ​social media is the intersection of these two things. I specialize in Tik Tok and ​Instagram and believe in an analytic-backed, SEO driven content strategy and creating ​a mix of “evergreen” content in addition to staying up to date on current trends.


I’d love to help you and your brand reach all your social media goals by up-leveling your ​social media strategy and creating beautiful content!

Discovery Call

Let’s chat! I want to get to know you and your brand. In this call we will discuss the current state of your social media ​presence, any challenges you’ve been facing and what your goals are.

Brand Proposal + Contracts

Once I get a sense of what you’re looking for I will put together three custom package options that address all your social ​media management needs and goals. We will go over each package, determine what is right for you, and I will send over a ​contract and an invoice for you to sign.

Content Creation

Now it’s time for us to create a bank of content that I will be able to pull from to create your content. I offer content creation ​services where I can come to your location once a week and create content. If your business already invests in photo and ​video services you can start sharing those with me through Google Drive or Dropbox. This step often takes the longest but ​it pays off in the end!

On-Boarding

Now its time to get to business. I will create a detailed social media strategy for your brand, a content calender, and an ​editorial calendar. We will be getting your accounts set up on our management platforms so that I will be able to submit ​posts for approval, schedule posts and view analytics. It is important that you approve content in a timely manner so we are ​able to move on to the next stage

Posting

Last step, best step! The last step is where we begin posting to your socials. Once I begin posting I will monitor your ​account’s analytics and at the end of the month present an analytics report. At the same time I will be working on next ​month’s calendar so we always stay 1 step ahead in out strategy.

FAQ

01 // What platforms do I work with?

Instagram and Tik Tok! Those are the platforms that I manage for businesses. I work mostly with visual media as a designer so platforms like X (Twitter) aren’t ​really my area of expertise.

02 // What do I use to create Content?

I use either an iPhone 11 or a Sony ZV-1 digital camera. There’s a time and place for both and we can discuss that once we get into your strategy.
