Community & Influencer Marketing Manager @ SAMBAZON
About
I’m a Social Media Strategist with 15+ years of experience in digital content creation, brand storytelling, and community building. My career began at age 10 on a YouTube channel that grew to 9 Million Subscribers and even hosted meet & greets with fans across the U.S. After departing the group, I built an audience of 900K on my own channels. Since then, I’ve transitioned to the brand side—leading strategies across CPG, QSR, e-commerce, sustainability, and sports. My experience spans experimental events, expos, influencer partnerships, contract negotiations, and content management, giving me a 360° perspective on building authentic connections both online and offline. I’m passionate about driving brand growth, leading creative teams, and making data-driven decisions that turn content into real results. Portfolio: https://jennaarend.my.canva.site/
