Naomi Imatome
editorial director and content consultant in Los Angeles, California
I create meaningful stories, experiences, and products that inspire people to improve themselves and our world for the better.
ABOUT ME: I have a unique record of success building high-traffic websites, verticals, and audiences. I've also led highly successful app and product launches. I combine data-driven strategy, a deep understanding of SEO, and old-fashioned editorial excellence.
I'm known for building and growing strong and loyal audiences in a sea of internet noise.
WHAT I DO
CREATE a strategy to build or grow your audience.
IMPLEMENT the strategy.
TEACH you how to continue to do it.
I customize the plan to each client, but it often includes:
*Analyze and Audit Metrics, Content, Social Media, and SEO
*Create Content, Social Media, and SEO Strategies
*Create Style Guide and Thought Leadership Strategies
*Consult in Creating Content and Influencer Partnerships
*Consult in Hiring Content Creators
*Create Content Process + Workflow
WHAT IT TAKES: This process takes 2-4 months (50-100 hours) and usually costs ~$8-25,000. I often also continue working for clients on retainer for 4-8 hours per month.
THE FINE PRINT: I am only offering this full-service package and am not taking smaller projects. This package works well for start-ups and mid-sized companies that want to take their digital presence to the next level.
