About

Hey, I'm Victoria 👋 I'm a Brand Manager and creative lead with a background spanning social media, employee advocacy, content strategy, and brand identity. I've built brand systems from scratch, led campaigns that generated over £1M in revenue, launched branded events, and turned employee voices into one of the most powerful distribution channels a B2B brand can have. Currently building the fatjoe. brand from the inside out and documenting the whole thing here. What I focus on: → Brand strategy and narrative development → Creative direction and content systems → Employee advocacy and employer brand → Campaign development from brief to results → Making B2B brands feel genuinely human I believe brands don't build trust anymore. People do. Everything I build is designed around that.

  • Content Creator at FDC
    Jan 2023 - Oct 2023 · 10 mos

    I worked with a personal brand to build a strong presence on LinkedIn, focusing on content that felt both genuine and strategic. That included: – Content creation: I came up with ideas, wrote posts, and designed visuals that matched the client’s voice and goals. It resulted in a 20% boost in post interactions and lots of meaningful conversations in the comments. – Kept an eye on the numbers – by tracking engagement and reach, I figured out what really worked and used those insights to improve content performance by 11%. – Collaborated to keep things personal – I teamed up with the client and other team members to make sure every piece of content felt authentic and on-brand. – Grew the community – Thanks to consistent, relatable content, we saw a 110% increase in followers. It was a mix of creative storytelling, strategic planning, and a little bit of social magic, all tailored to help the brand stand out and connect with the right people.
