Digital Marketing Bringing Your Brand to Life

– you, moments before smashing your computer screen.

 

I’m going to take a wild guess that you’ve said that before. Many times. After spending way too long working on the perfect social media post, you decide to just throw in the towel. Everything you wrote sounds too cheesy, too forced, too robotic.

And we won’t even get started on the website. You’re at a standstill. DIY is cool and all, but it only works if you actually do it. Forget about the actual site design – who needs that, right?

Hey, I’m Gariele. Otherwise known as your personal digital marketing coach. Put down your smart phone and step away from that computer. I’m here to bring your brand to life. All you have to do is tell me your story.

Together we can carve out a vibrant digital marketing strategy for your social media, website, branding and more. Let’s chat – you’re probably dying for some guidance, anyway.

  • FIRED UP 🔥 That's how I feel when I chat with clients who have a passion for what they do and a vision for where they want to go. ⠀ ⠀ MAGIC 🌙 That's what I want my clients to feel we have created. I don't do boring or textbook. If you want to SHINE ONLINE (why did that rhyme?), let's chat.
  • Spontaneity will get you started but strategy will keep you going. ⠀ ⚡️ When an idea strikes, it's like lightning. It takes over the thought process, sends a rush of dopamine to your brain, and lights the fire beneath you.⠀ .⠀ 🔥 Spontaneity is electrifying - and without these lightbulb moments, you might never create life-changing, earth-shaking ideas.⠀ .⠀ 📈 Strategy is that slow burn that keeps your heart warm at night. Preparation ensures that the same lightning strike that came at 3am doesn't burn out before daybreak.⠀ .⠀ 📌 When you put a solid strategy in place, you're not stealing from your spontaneous spirit - you're actually GIVING ENERGY to what drives you.⠀ .⠀ @unsplash⠀
  • What's one challenge you are facing in your current social media strategy? ⠀ .⠀ I'll be dedicating some time today to answer your comments and questions. Ask me anything!
  • Letting go of control is a good thing. There is a fine line between perfectionism and obsession.
  • GOOD PHOTOGRAPHY SETS YOU APART 📸 . One thing I've realized lately is that my corporate clients have resources. They can book a photoshoot to showcase their office. They can hire a visual merchandiser to stage their products. . But it doesn't mean small businesses can't do the same or even BETTER. . Sure, you might not have a big budget for photography, but you should at least invest (through DIY or otherwise) in high-resolution images of your team and what you do. . Let's be honest, stock photos can only go so far, especially on image-heavy platforms like Instagram. Eventually someone is going to wonder what you look like. . Whenever you're ready to hire a social media consultant (say, me for instance), I won't have to dig through the google archives for a picture of your business 🙃
  • Have you ever been unsure about the direction you were heading? 🤔 When I launched my business last year, I had an express ticket to "Where the hell am I going again?" . In the first couple months, I signed up for every free webinar on how to grow a brand, built a mailing list of a whopping 45 people, and drafted countless blog posts about, well, blogging. . Then on one beautifully disastrous day, my website broke. I could've panicked and called a developer. Instead, I took the long route, fiddling with databases, FTP files, nameservers, and all the nerdy words you can imagine. . In between the domain pointing and custom coding, I focused on building a new website to reflect who I AM, not what Pinterest told me to be. Like a charmander rising from the ashes, I evolved. . And now? . 1. I don't sign up for every free email course or webinar I come across. No matter how convincing the sales page. . 2. I don't prioritize a mailing list. FYI, there is a form in my footer if you're keen, but you might not hear from me for a while. . 3. I don't blog often. Instead, I write long captions with my heart on display. Can you hear it beating? . If you agree with what I'm saying, comment with "I hear you."
  • Hey friends! If you're new here, I'd love to take a moment to introduce myself. I also invite you to share about yourself in the comments 🙌🏼 . My name is Gariele (pronounced: gary-elle) and I'm a digital marketer in Victoria, BC 🇨🇦 . I think the term 'digital marketing' can be a big umbrella, so to narrow it down: I specialize in #socialmedia and #webdesign. . I am the founder of @radgirlscollective, a community dedicated to bringing women together in celebration of what makes them rad. Join us! #radgirlslife . I was born in Trinidad & Tobago 🇹🇹 but emigrated to Canada when I was 11. #trinitodebone . I have a precocious 2-year-old daughter who looooves dancing, playing soccer and running away from our cat. . I am always excited to make new friends on social media and in real life. Send me a message and let's chat!
  • Whenever I'm feeling stuck in my craft, I look to my community for inspiration. Are you tapping into your network? . Sometimes I need to step out of myself and pay attention to another creator's work for that extra push. I have learned so much from my friends and mentors, especially @kyla.artworks. Who inspires you?
