Although community management is the function that serves as a "highlight" for this description on LinkedIn, what I did was very similar to what a mini-marketing agency would do (I would say... less intense than an agency, believe me, I've worked for an agency and the rhythm is not even comparable).

So what did I do?

  • Social media management (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and TikTok)
  • Content creation (publications on job vacancies, events, articles, etc.)
  • Video and photo editing (for social networks only)
  • Creation and organization of a social media calendar
  • Performance/paid media consultancy for meta and Google ad campaigns
  • SEO consultancy for blog content

Social media management

Management of all customer interactions, realizing their problems, turning them into tasks and then organizing them to be distributed by the team.

This work was occurring parallel to that of the content manager.

During my time as content manager, I played the following roles:

  • Creation of copy for social networks (for 8 renowned clients in different industries, national and international), blogs, websites, newsletters, and mobile applications;
  • Managed and organized the content creation team, serving as a bridge between the content creation, paid media and design departments
  • Collaborated in the creation and implementation of workflow processes for the digital marketing team
  • Keyword Research for clients from different segments focused on paid media campaigns
  • Social media management / Community management (for national and international brands)
  • Content review

Since 2010 up until now, I have been creating content for The Hand That Feeds HQ, my passion project. Some achievements: ✔️ Optimization of social network profiles with a focus on good SEO practices ✔️ 1.7 million views and unique 900,000 visitors at The Hand That Feeds HQ (data from May 2021) ✔️ Organic growth of followers of The Hand That Feeds HQ on Twitter/X in 1 year of 270% ✔️ 1.3M organic impressions with a total audience of 249.26k (data referring to May 2021) on Pinterest ✔️ Website has several focus keywords in Google's top 10 (result of on-page SEO and technical SEO optimization) Although founded in 2010, The Hand That Feeds HQ website only took its current shape in 2011. Founded and headquartered in Cascais, Portugal, The Hand That Feeds HQ is an English-language website, leader in the promotion of music releases and other projects by Japanese male voice actors (seiyuu). This niche made our phased growth possible by adjusting to our and our readers' tastes, refining our writing to make it more accessible to everyone, providing more detailed articles, and better translations, and always developing those tasks with focus, clarity, impartiality, and quality. At the same time, the website grew during the pandemic, spawning a podcast show (over 190 episodes) titled SEIYUU LOUNGE. What I do: 🔷 Hosting of weekly podcast about Japanese voice actors and the music industry in Japan linked to anime. 🔷 Research and writing of scripts for the episodes 🔷 Sound recording and editing (Adobe Audition) 🔷 Creation of videos to accompany the podcast (using Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects and Adobe Photoshop) 🔷 Focus on good SEO practices (optimize tags, descriptions, headlines, metadata, descriptions, etc.) 🔷 Schedule publications
