Full Career Breakdown

From Startup Store to Multi-Location Brand

I joined World Burger in its early stage, initially handling social media and marketing for a single store.

As the brand expanded, I took full ownership of marketing, content creation, and digital strategy across multiple locations, helping scale it into a recognised multi-store brand.

  • Created daily photo, video, and short-form content (Instagram and TikTok)
  • Filmed and edited all content in-house
  • Managed all accounts and community engagement
  • Maintained a consistent brand voice across multiple locations

Result:
Built a highly engaged audience that allowed the brand to promote new products and offers without relying heavily on paid advertising.

Events & Car Meet Marketing

Turned World Burger locations into community event hubs.

  • Partnered with car clubs to host large-scale meets
  • Supported events attracting hundreds to nearly 1,000 attendees
  • Coordinated event logistics and on-site engagement

Drove increases in foot traffic, brand awareness, and organic social growth.

Franchise Growth & Lead Generation
