Hi, I’m Kayla. A storyteller first and creative second. I’m currently creating, scheduling, and posting content for one of the top ten Girl Scout councils in the United States. When I’m not obsessing over grid feeds, fine tuning the perfect hook and creating mood boards, I’m a part-time main character on my YouTube channel. Otherwise, consider me your go-to girl for creative direction, visual identity, video production and all things social. If you’re a cool brand or an even cooler creative, welcome! Glad you could make it.

My first observation with the account was that it was prioritizing an audience that didn't make up the following and repurposing content that wasn't altered to match each platform. Starting with Instagram, I replaced carousels of younger girls with reels of older girls/teenagers who actually are on the platform. I also strayed away from third person point of view coverage of events and put the girls directly in front of the camera by asking questions, hopping on trends and including intimate moments that added relatability and authenticity. Even though program registrations was oftentimes the cta, I no longer posted single images of flyers. Instead, I loaded carousels with a combination of program information and photos from year prior or similar.
