Shea Curry

Director of Social Media, Copywriting, Marketing, and Production

Summary

Nothing excites me more than creating. I love a good challenge and finding solutions to problems. Whether it's a brand strategy, writing, creating visuals through photography and video, or clever verbal campaigns, I believe that collaborative problem solving is the key to exponentially building a brand and empowering its employees to feel like they are a part of a family. I understand the hurdles brands face these days, especially regarding the ever-changing algorithms of social media and the multiple areas of marketing which can be overwhelming and often expensive. I am passionate about working with emerging and existing brands to keep their budgets streamlined while ensuring their content stays relevant, engaging, and innovative.
