As the Local Marketing Specialist at IKEA Elizabeth, I lead localized social and digital marketing initiatives that bridge IKEA’s global brand strategy with meaningful, community-driven storytelling. I oversee organic social strategy, short-form video, event promotion, influencer partnerships, and loyalty-focused campaigns designed to drive engagement and participation. My role involves close collaboration with internal cross-functional teams and external community partners to plan, execute, and amplify integrated campaigns. Through a combination of creative storytelling, strategic planning, and performance tracking, I help strengthen brand relevance, increase loyalty awareness, and support omnichannel impact.
