Northern Black: Brand & Social Content

As Head of Content Creation at Northern Black since July 2023, I lead all video and social content across four accounts on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook, growing the combined following by 36.6% and generating 42.7 million views.

Work spans cinematic client-journey films for tattoo projects, product-led content driving traffic to northernblack.shop, and live event coverage edited for real-time social output.

Output & reach

Overall reach per year

Roughly 79 posts a month across four accounts for over three years, with no fallow quarter. The jump in 2025 came from format strategy, not extra volume.
