Portrait of Shruti Poojary
About

A brand strategist with a designer's eye.

I'm a brand and content marketer with an M.Sc. in Design Management and hands-on experience planning, executing and measuring social media campaigns across Instagram and Facebook. I grew the last brand I owned by 60% in revenue and 35% in engagement through audience segmentation, A/B-tested copy and platform-native storytelling.

I'm comfortable juggling simultaneous campaigns in fast-paced environments, building content calendars, and producing short-form video, photography, copy and graphics in Canva and Adobe InDesign — all aligned to brand tone, voice and visual identity. It's a craft built on my foundation in spatial and interior design, where I learned to put people at the centre of everything I make.

Personality at work

How I work

Curious in ideas. Grounded in insight. Focused on purposeful content.

Purpose-Led

I ask “who does this serve?” before I ask “how does this look?”

Insight-Driven

I research before I create — audience behaviour, cultural context and platform logic shape my decisions.

Outcome-Focused

I design content to do something: build trust, drive clicks, fill seats, or change minds.
