There's still a gap between what brands say and what audiences actually hear. I live in that gap.
And I can translate it.
Most creator campaigns are built by rooms full of smart strategists, creatives, account leads who've studied the audience but never been the audience. The brief goes out. The creator delivers. And something still gets lost between intention and execution. Because no one in that room had actually built an audience before.
I have. A million of them.
What makes me an expert?
01
I understand my followers beyond data points, as people.
Six years building an audience from zero—earning attention every day, studying what moves people and why. I know what stops the scroll because I've been stopping it since my first viral article in 2013. It’s not a theory. It’s 1M+ people who chose to tune in to me.
02
I speak both languages—corporate KPIs and consumer group chats.
Brand objectives. Creator needs. Audience psychology. Platform behavior. Most people pick a side. I move between them natively—which is exactly what your room is missing when the campaign brief hits the creator and something gets lost in translation.
03
Making it actionable? My speciality.
Every engagement ends with a next step, not a feeling. What to do differently starting tomorrow. What to test this quarter. What to stop paying for entirely. My background is engineering—I build frameworks, not vibes (though the vibes are always good).
Creator marketing from the inside, out.
The creator economy doesn't have a budget problem. It has a proximity problem.
That gap is structural. It was baked into the industry before anyone noticed it was there. And I'm one of the few people positioned on both sides of it.
→ Six years as a full-time creator.
→ Previous brand partners spanning Apple Pay, Microsoft Copilot, LinkedIn, Expedia, and more.
→ Previous consulting clients include Google, Meta, TikTok, Mastercard, PepsiCo, and Lululemon.
→ 1M+ followers built across the 6 major social platforms without a single paid follower.
I bring that intelligence into the room. And I can bring it into yours.

Strategy & Advisory
FOR BRANDS, AGENCIES, AND INTERNAL TEAMS
You need someone who's lived it, not just studied it. Here's how we can work together.
THE AUDIT
A deep dive on a past or current creator campaign. You walk away knowing exactly what worked, what didn't, and why. You leave with a clear brief for what to do differently on the next one.
PRIVATE WORKSHOP
Live facilitation for your brand or agency team. Built around your specific gaps: briefing, creator selection, content strategy, measurement. Your team walks out aligned on how to brief, select, and measure creator work without guessing.
MONTHLY RETAINER
Ongoing strategic access, monthly. For teams that want a creator's perspective in the room on a regular basis, and embedded in your decision-making — before you present to your C-suite and way before the next brief goes out. Not after the campaign underperforms.
ADVISORY
Long-form partnership, by application. For organizations building creator programs, partnerships, or internal capabilities that are meant to last.
FOR CONFERENCES, SUMMITS & INTERNAL EVENTS
Speaker
The speaker who makes your audience look up from their laptops.
Gabby has spent 9+ years educating audiences on some of the most influential stages in marketing, tech, and culture—from Cannes Lions to Meta HQ to Advertising Week New York. Her talks don't recap what everyone already read on LinkedIn. She brings an expert creator's vantage point into the room: what's working on platform right now, why Gen Z behaves the way they do, and what brands keep getting wrong from the outside looking in. All in a way that is entertaining, story-driven, digestible, and actionable.
