Currently handling social media for Franklin Barbecue, working with them since 2021. What started as picking up the reins from Stacy Franklin — who'd been running it herself until the brand's growth outpaced the time she had for it — has grown into full content and copywriting support: original photography, social videos, brand voice, and day-to-day social strategy.
01 — Photography & Content
Content comes from three places: original photography and video shot specifically for Franklin's feed, photos and video the Franklin team provides directly, and the best fan and customer shots sourced from what people are already posting.
02 — Copywriting & Brand Voice
Captions are written to hold Franklin's voice: warm, neighborly, understated, dry — never salesy. That consistency matters even more as the brand continues to expand as more people see Franklin's name the voice has to hold steady across all of it.
