Rachel has been an absolute force for our brand. As a fractional brand marketer, social media manager, and creative strategist, she wore more hats than most full-time teams combined, and she made it look easy. She created standout content, edited and refined what we already had, curated a social presence that finally felt aligned with who we are, and built a clear, thoughtful strategy behind it all. Her impact didn’t stop at organic. She played a key role in influencer marketing, supported paid social creative strategy, and consistently elevated our briefs so our designer had exactly what they needed to deliver. She’s one of the rare creatives who not only produces beautiful work, but also knows how to analyze what’s performing, why it’s performing, and how to optimize the next round. That alone leveled up our creative engine. Behind the scenes, she built systems that actually stuck - processes for social, integrated marketing, and graphic design that made our team faster, cleaner, and more aligned. She brought structure without losing creativity, and creativity without losing discipline. If you want someone who’s strategic, wildly capable, proactive, detail-oriented, and brings real creative taste to the table, Rachel is the kind of talent you want in your corner. She made our brand better in every direction.
