ABOUT ME
Allow me to introduce myself...I'm Maria, a Social Media Strategist and TV & Film production professional based in the NYC area, with 15+ years of experience in the Entertainment, Music and Digital Media Industries. With my broad knowledge, and extensive skills across the board, I am a "take charge and run with it" professional who creates interactive brand awareness, and delivers results with only the best in mind for my clients.
​
With 15+ years of experience working in social media, network television, major studio feature films, commercials, and content production, I bring my expertise in powerful storytelling, audience captivation and marketing landscape to the forefront of my clients’ projects.
​
My abilities to closely work with talent on a professional and relatable level, along with my keen and expert eye for quality talent and a multi-faceted social media approach, creates the targeted advertising edge that traditional marketing overlooks.
​
From my exclusive production teams, to my Influencer and Talent casting database, I offer full-service options for every stage of each content marketing project.
SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY
I provide full-range social media strategy services for small to large businesses and corporations.
From the initial current branding and social media account audits and analytics reviews, I pinpoint the areas that are underperforming and/or lacking and provide a complete overhaul plan that brings in fresh ideas and trends to catapult company brands to massive awareness and success .
​
My creative process includes deep and multi-directional research on each client industry, along with current social media trends that could be utilized and expanded upon within each platform such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn.
​
Regular or campaign-specific client reporting, analytics, and deliverables are provided to in-house marketing departments, or otherwise as requested.
​
I provide both remote and short-term contractual on-location services to clients in the US and overseas.
CONTENT PRODUCTION
With both in-house and freelance production crews, I provide original and branded content and photography across all social media platforms.
​
Content campaign choices include long, short, and micro content, corporate videos, tv and streaming commercials, and product-specific projects.
INFLUENCER MARKETING
Influencer Marketing is a wildly popular and results-driven type of social media campaign that provides an organic, impactful and authentic social media presence.​
Through endorsements, product mentions and direct audience messaging, individuals who have a dedicated social following are viewed as experts within their niche. This creates powerful campaigns that drive sales and brand awareness to the next level. I curate campaigns using both UGC (User Generated Content) and professionally produced content.
Along with finding and casting the perfect influencers, my marketing campaigns include performance analytics, split testing and full campaign management.
TALENt & CASTING
With over 15 years of experience booking and casting actors and models in major network television shows, commercials, studio feature films and commercial print campaigns, I provide full-service casting director services to indie and large-budget productions. I work closely with SAG-AFTRA on union projects, and top industry payroll companies. For full details on past and current projects, please visit my Talent Agency website www.xisttalent.com.
