SOCIAL MEDIA AND CONTENT MARKETING SPECIALIST
Kachina Dimmock Version 1.0Â - 2020
Nice to meet you! Hi, I’m Kachina, your Content Marketing Specialist, Australian Army Reservist and Founder of the Content Collective Co. Currently, I’m based in the Northern suburbs of the Illawarra, in a home that’s perfectly nestled between the ocean and green cliffy escarpment. I’ve always been a storyteller for as long as I can remember. From insisting on using Dad’s camera to take allll of the photos on family holidays and writing short poems about Wombats as a child, to discovering other mediums to express myself with as I got older. I’ve been professionally working as a Content Marketer now for over 5 years. Creating stories that impact and surprise my audience is the most important part of my work. I strive to see results. Over the years, I’ve gained experience in a variety of industries, including travel, news, food, community, lifestyle, corporate and legal. It comes with little surprise that creating meaningful content is what gets my blood pulsing. But, my other great loves also include travel and health/fitness. I’m endlessly inspired by adventure, nature and community. I love waking up to new horizons, immersing myself in new experiences and making lifelong friends along the way. Think we could create something amazing together? Feel free to reach out via email!

The Project: Social Media Crisis Management Overview: With the travel industry being heavily hit by the coronavirus pandemic, I was put to task to manage how the situation was covered, and eventually manage a crisis campaign on social media for 3 x tour brands. Tactics and Strategies: Initially, priority went to responding to customer queries online and managing changes to bookings as tours were cancelled ensuring that communication was constant and customers were made to feel safe and looked after. As isolation continued, change in content creation from a hold-off to creating content that encouraged dreaming. This was done by creating an organic customer engagement campaign, where past travellers were interviewed about their travels, what they love about travel and where they’re most eager to venture to when borders open again. These interviews were turned into story pieces and shared across the 3 x brands Facebook pages. Results (in 3 weeks): Total combined engagement: 6500 Total combined reach: 64, 262 Total combined impressions: 72, 173 Engagement Rate for all brands: more than double that of competitors

Overview: Jodie Cooper is a positive psychology coach who offers personal coaching, professional mentorship and speaking training programs. We met right as she was about to embark on a year-long trip around Australia; at a time where focus was being put into moving her business online. This included help with her social media accounts. Rather than managing these accounts for her, I provided my insight to build a social media strategy to maximise her efforts to achieve her overall goal for her online presence and personal brand. Strategy and Tactics: Through the audit, I evaluated all of Jodie’s social media accounts to be able to identify what she’s currently doing that is working and what can be improved upon. She already had a great start, so I was able to make my main priority to be able to help her connect all the facets of her personal brand, as well as polish up a few current strategies with detailed tips to maximise her accounts.
