With 5+ years in the industry, I've worked with startups, e-commerce brands, and established businesses. I'm currently pursuing a PhD in Social Media Marketing after my post-graduate degree — because I believe in understanding this craft at the deepest level.

I don't just post. I research, strategize, analyze, and optimize. Every piece of content has intent behind it.

Key Principles I Follow

01

Audience first, always

Every strategy starts with understanding who you're talking to.

02

Data over assumptions

Gut feeling starts it. Data-driven iteration gets results.

03

Authenticity scales

Brands that win talk with their audience, not at them.

04

Consistency beats virality

One viral post is luck. A consistent system is strategy.

The Brand

About Yona

Yona is a revolutionary e-commerce brand founded in Australia, now making waves in New Zealand and the United States. With a steadfast commitment to sustainability, their flagship product is the remarkable cardboard bed and furniture collection — surprisingly durable, the perfect blend of style, functionality, and eco-friendliness.

The GridLok™ engineering supports up to 7,040 lbs, making it stronger than most traditional bed frames — while being 100% recyclable and assembling in under 5 minutes with zero tools.

The Challenge

Problem Statement

With only 4 months since launch, Yona faced the daunting task of making their innovative cardboard products known. They struggled with a low follower count (765), inorganic and sales-oriented content, and a weak organic presence.

The biggest barrier? "Cardboard" reads cheap. Every potential customer's first reaction was skepticism. The task was to reframe the entire category while building an authentic community from scratch.

The Strategy

Four Foundational Decisions

Before writing a single caption, I made four decisions that shaped everything downstream — feed aesthetic, influencer briefs, TikTok hooks, all of it.

Decision 01

Reframe the Category

"Cardboard" reads cheap. So I never let us say "cardboard bed" alone. Every mention paired it with engineering proof (7,040 lbs / GridLok™) or aspirational descriptors. Material became a feature, not a confession.

My call: stop apologizing for the material. Lead with it.
Decision 02

Pick the Renter, Not the Homeowner

I aimed at the underserved 70%: renters, movers, students, post-breakup resetters. People for whom "lightweight" and "no tools" aren't compromises — they're the whole pitch.

My call: win the people IKEA loses to landfill.
Decision 03

Earn Skepticism, Don't Dodge It

"Will it actually hold me?" was the #1 question. So I built an entire content pillar around weight tests, group jumps, and durability proof — turning the most-asked objection into our most-watched content.

My call: the objection is the hook. Lean in.
Decision 04

UGC as the Engine

The product unboxes itself. A flat box becomes a bed in 5 minutes. That's a TikTok, not a script. I pivoted toward a creator-first, UGC-led feed where assembly satisfaction did the selling.

My call: the product makes the content. Get out of its way.

Tone of Voice I Built

The personality: friendly engineer, calm Scandi, slightly cheeky. Confident, plain-spoken, warm, anti-jargon. Here's how the brand handles the everyday queries:

QUERY
Does it really hold up? Cardboard sounds sketchy 🤨
Totally fair! It holds 300kg+ — we literally stand 4 people on it in our reels. Honeycomb engineering, not the pizza-box kind 🥺
y

Reply to a customer
QUERY
How long does assembly actually take? 👀
5 minutes, no tools. If it takes longer, the kettle's probably louder than the bed 😋

QUERY
What happens to it when I move out?
100% recyclable — flatten it, drop it in the recycling bin. No landfill guilt, no skip hire 🌱

Will it survive a mattress + me + my partner + the dog? 🐕

"Sustainable" is just marketing. Prove it.

What we deliberately don't do: no wellness jargon, no corporate-speak, no fear-based sustainability messaging.

About ReAthlete

ReAthlete is a leading recovery and wellness brand specializing in innovative massage and therapy devices. They cater to athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and individuals seeking relief from muscle pain. Primary audience: United States.

The Challenge

Problem Statement

ReAthlete struggled with a weak social media presence — low engagement, minimal brand awareness, and no authentic community interaction. Their platforms had inactive and fake followers, limiting organic reach and credibility.

They needed a complete social media revamp to drive real engagement, attract the right audience, and strengthen their online presence.

The Approach

Strategy I Used

I adopted a humor-driven, relatable approach that resonated with both direct and indirect audiences. Instead of just talking about products, I leveraged meme-based content and viral video trends to highlight common pain points in a lighthearted way.

This strategy boosted shareability and organic reach. Alongside humor, I balanced content with strategic pillars showcasing product benefits while incorporating user-generated content (UGC) to build authenticity and trust.

They picked LinkedIn — for a cereal.

They trademarked the conversation.

"Cycle Syncing®" is a registered Alisa Vitti term. So is "The Cycle Syncing Method®." When the hashtag hit 125M+ views, every other creator using the language was — knowingly or not — funneling traffic back to FLO. They built a category and owned its vocabulary. That's a moat that compounds for decades.

The campaigns don't look like ads because they're not. The result: 1M+ customers and "nothing to hide" became truth, not a slogan.

★ Steal This
  1. Compete on subtraction.Show what's NOT in your product. Transparency is differentiation.
  2. Micro > mega for trust.100 small creators beat 1 celebrity for buying decisions.
  3. Educate, then sell.Label-literacy posts pre-sell skeptics on your value before they see your price.
  4. Make your name a promise."Naked" is a thesis. Every post must earn the name.

"Nix worry, nix plastic, nix strings, nix leaks, nix stigmas."
"Nothing is TMI. We got you."
★ The Unique Thing

The brand name is a verb. And a manifesto.

"nixit" isn't a noun — it's an action. Every campaign frames the product as nixing something: shame, leaks, plastic, stigma, dryness. The name does the strategic work in every single caption. Founders rarely build brands where the name itself is the call-to-action.

★ Steal This
  1. Pick a name that's a verb.Action-named brands write their own captions.
  2. Humour disarms taboo.Period memes do more shelf-shifting than period statistics.
  3. Educate beyond the product.Vulva guides build trust; trust drives discs.
  4. Reframe stigma as celebration."First period = milestone" is positioning, not just kindness.
