Ever felt like you’re doing everything right in your career, but still on the edge of burnout?

Yeah, me too.

I’m Nia. I'm a creator and speaker helping young professionals build fulfilling, sustainable careers without losing themselves in the process.

Over the past 3 years, I’ve worked across the marketing world, from managing high-profile personal brands agency-side to shaping content strategies in-house. That experience taught me a lot about ambition, burnout, and the messy middle we don’t talk about enough.

So I started sharing it.

In 2022, I began posting on LinkedIn. Not as an expert, but as someone figuring it out in real time.
And somewhere along the way, 20,000+ people decided to come along for the ride.

Since then, I’ve been:

🏆 Awarded Best Breakthrough Marketer (2024) by Passionfruit
✨ Named one of Alt Marketing School’s Top 100 Marketers To Watch (2024)
💬 Featured by Girls In Marketing as a Top Marketer To Follow and as a course contributor (Laying The Foundations for Career & Marketing Success)

Now I help my audience:

→ create habits that actually last
→ rethink success beyond hustle and burnout
→ build careers that align with who they are, not just what they do

If you’re a brand looking to reach ambitious Gen Z professionals, or you're searching for an authentic, relatable voice on career growth and mindset, let’s talk.

Because the best career advice comes from someone still figuring it out 💭

I grow brands on Insta, TikTok + Pinterest 📈 reaching over 67 MILLION impressions every MONTH for my clients 🔥 Track Record of Scaling Brands on Social | Not just your average marketer 💅

I turn ur business Insta + Pinterest into actual money

(corporate marketers hate to see me coming 💅)

I've helped multiple brands hit 7 figures without spending a penny on ads, generated over 1B+ organic impressions, and built full stack marketing funnels for over 100 brands that directly link to revenue 

it's 2026, we want MONEY from our marketing not impressions bestie!!

two ways to work with me:

💌 full social media management

content strategy, creation, posting, funnels - the whole shabang handled.

bc viral videos mean nothing if your funnel is leaking everywhere.

💰fractional CMO (application only) - CURRENTLY FULLY BOOKED

Think systems, automations, full-stack funnels, team management, metric tracking, growth charts. the whole backend built for ROI. I build the foundation so your marketing runs a compounding profit - not just technically 'managed'

(ps - I only work with brands looking to build solid foundations and boost cash flow, not those looking for viral videos and quick wins)

oh and btw if you don't hit the growth metrics we agree on?

you get your money back. simple as that 🤷‍♀️

(most agencies won't even tell you their results. I guarantee mine cos I'm that good)

8 years in. learnt most of it the hard way so you don't have to x

No alternative text description for this image

Photo 1: I did everything LinkedIn told me to

Photo 2: I did the opposite

In 2023 I was living my 'best life' according to social media:

- 7 fig business (yes, really)
- going gym 5 times a week
- working about 10-12 hours a day

all whilst travelling the world

I thought I was happy. I was in this 'dream life' so many people wanted, right?

WRONGGGG!

I was overweight. Unhappy. Jumping between toxic relationships. A shell of myself - I literally didn't even realise it 

It took me many (many) breakdowns to realise what actually mattered to me

Freedom. Community. Love. Wellness.

and without even intending to or focusing on it I:

lost 18kg
found God (hey bestie!)
got literally 10x more take home income
met my husband

I got everything I wanted, could ever dream of, and more 🥹

I was waking up at 10am, working 4 hours a day, reduced gym to 1-2 times per week - everything that apparently makes you 'lazy'

This is legit not some LinkedIn hook, those of you who know me in real life know this was my reality 😭

for a bunch of 'smart' and 'top 1% performers' on this app, we sure are dumb af

please please PLEASE start writing your own playbook

as a collective we need to stop following blueprints, whether it be from a 'guru', a celebrity, or God forbid a ChatGPT output 🥲

I WANT 2026 TO BE THE YEAR YOU START REWRITING YOUR OWN STORY!!!

LET IT EXCITE YOU!

YES I'M SHOUTING!!!!!!!!

the amount of competition, burnout and comparison I see on this app every. single. day. genuinely saddens me

I'll leave you with Mark 8:36 from the Bible - and religious or not I want you to sit with it for a few days:

For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?

things I do as a gen z CMO that would send corporate marketing into a coma 🕺🏼🦖

1️⃣ I don't work with new brands running ads

No bc do u rly think that a) your business will make money or b) that I'm gonna waste my time building out a funnel if ur running paid ads IMMEDIATELY after launch?

No babes, you're already set up for failure if we don't have time to build an organic base x

2️⃣ I call out bs

u hired me to do a job, so I'm gonna do it??

If you've got something blocking your funnel, it's literally my job to let you know. We're not focusing on increasing traffic from socials if ur funnel is leaking

(never been fired for being a sassy b when needed - not fired yet anyway haha)

3️⃣ i honestly don’t care if u don't want to film content

why is it now commonly accepted that the ONLY way to build a successful business is if the founder is making weekly videos??

some founders don't want to be in the spotlight. that's perfectly fine. I'm not gonna force u in front of camera bc LinkedIn told me to

(+ unlike most 'gurus' on LinkedIn, I actually know how to build a brand without hacks and trends 🤡)

____

Corporate is out here coming up with 6 month strategies and weeks of 'customer research' just to post on Insta and 100 views (if you're lucky)

Spice up your marketing, stay in with the times and always make sure you're running a consistent testing data pool

yours sincerely,

a girl that’s officially been a fCMO for 3 years, including 2 billion dollar and 10+ million dollar businesses xxxx

It’s hard because you’re inexperienced, not incapable 

Keep going bestie 🕺🏼

(and whilst you’re at it, stop letting social media scare you into comparison - it’ll steal all good fruits from you)

am I the only one that’s never seen this before?? 🥹🥹🩷

Waitrose gives its employees a roll of ‘it’s on us’ stickers 

main concept = to gift items to customers they feel may need a pick me up

people who are unwell, going through tough times or someone whose day doesn’t look so fabby

I googled to see if it’s real (it is!!) and saw other cases like:

-  fish counter staff gifting fish bc the customer was hesitant to try something new

- one of Maidenhead staff gave a customer a pot of yellow roses upon learning they were supporting family arriving from Ukraine

- a gift for a young daughter who helped their mother with her wheelchair

My heart is SCREAMING rn!! 

I’m sorry to interrupt ur feed of formulas and growth hacks

but this is honestly what business is about for me 🥲

making someone’s day, giving back, using your time and resources for GOOD

sure ROI is nice

a viral post makes u feel good

money in the bank makes us feel accomplished

but THIS for me is true fulfilment and so so inspiring from Waitrose & Partners  

so in honour of Waitrose, I want to spend today + this weekend giving on LinkedIn

comment with what would make your day, and I’ll help as many people as possible 🩷

(maybe u need money to buy that book you’ve been debating, or could really do with some free marketing advice - whatever it is, business or not, I want to help as many people)
