Kima C.

A Content & Social Media Fractional Consultant, working with founders and leaders to build and implement 360° content & social media programs and grow communities.

With over 15 years of experience in creative marketing, content & social media strategy, and marketing communications, I am a passionate and versatile fractional consultant who helps clients achieve their marketing goals and connect with their audiences. I have a strong background in video, copywriting, editorial, content development, and community engagement, with a focus on diversity and inclusivity.

I’m curious by nature and my interests are broad—I have worked for and consulted with brands in the beauty and fashion space, but I’ve also worked with podcasters, music artists, and non-profits. Some of my clients include TULA Skincare, Glory Skincare, the Jill Scott Podcast, Flat Iron School, and Fifteen Percent Pledge. The US is the third continent I’ve lived on so getting to tell stories that are inclusive and that foster community is ultimately what I thrive on. I enjoy collaborating with different stakeholders, learning new skills, and creating impactful and engaging content.

Fifteen Percent Pledge

15percentpledge.org

The Fifteen Percent Pledge is a US-based non-profit organization that encourages retailers to pledge at least 15% of their shelf space to Black-owned businesses.

I joined the team to lead marketing content and social media efforts through a planned website relaunch. I worked to simplify workflows, onboard social media management tools like Dash Hudson to help the team work smarter, managed web updates, wrote web copy, crafted the email marketing strategy, and crafting content plans.

This Christmas campaign was hands down the largest (and loveliest) campaign I've ever worked on. I advised on the social media elements of the TV ad shoot (teasers, cut downs, edits), managed relationships with publishers - we ran a custom emoji and promoted trend on X (formerly Twitter) and two case studies with Meta and X, ran a live war room with custom responses in Mrs Claus's voice on launch night, and managed a host of internal stakeholders. A career highlight!
