Hi! My name is Ceryna [suh-REE-nuh], and I am a Los Angeles-based Social-First Video Creator with extensive experience in end-to-end content production, leading successful go-to-market and brand awareness campaigns, building in-house UGC programs, social media management, content planning, creative briefing, podcast production, and video editing for paid and organic social media for founder-led brands. Beauty and fashion are my bread and butter.
​
At 10 years old, I made fan edits and lyric videos in iMovie, chasing the dream of being noticed by my favorite musician. My parents called it a phase... I called it strategy. What started as late nights spent posting relentlessly transformed into a Twitter following of 120K and, eventually, a surreal moment: being serenaded on stage by the very artist I once idolized. I didn’t know it then, but I had just pulled off my first successful social campaign.
​
Since then, I’ve had the chance to channel that same creative drive and community-first mindset into high-energy campaigns that drive real results for some of the most exciting brands in the game.
