  • Influencer marketing and the creator economy: discovery, fraud detection, creator seeding, micro- and nano-creator strategies, virtual influencers, and FTC compliance.

  • Social media marketing: TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, X, and emerging platforms, with a focus on what works at brand-building and revenue scale.

  • Performance marketing: paid social, paid search, CTV, retail media, and integrated measurement.
  • Media planning and buying: across digital, streaming, CTV, retail media networks, and programmatic.
  • SEO and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization): how brands stay discoverable in Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude, and the schema, content, and linking work that underpins both.
  • Online reputation management: brand and executive reputation, review and ratings strategy, and AI-answer accuracy.
  • Digital PR: earned links, digital news hooks, data-led research, and campaigns engineered for press coverage.
