✦ Marketing portfolio

Marketing work, 2023 to 2026.

Between 2023 and 2025 I planned and ran social media for 15-20 client brands at Tag Media Works in Chennai, 4-5 at a time: dental and skin clinics, bars and restaurants, a saree store, a pickleball club and a fashion label. I started full-time and later worked with the agency as a freelancer. In 2025 I moved to Vedantu, first in retention marketing and then running paid campaigns.

I like the planning end of the work most: deciding what to make, building the calendar, and briefing the designers and video editors who make it.

Muthusaram Dental & Aesthetics

A dentist writing a dental clinic's Instagram. Muthusaram is a Chennai clinic with a dental side and a skin side. I'm a BDS graduate, so I knew which questions patients actually ask and which dental words lose them.

CherryClonk thinking

What I did

  • Built a monthly calendar split by department (dental, skin, both), listing the format, copy and caption for each post.
  • Wrote plain-language explainers on procedures: a carousel on the stages of a wisdom tooth, teeth-scaling before-and-afters, myth-busting posts, and tips on bad breath.
  • Designed a 14-day #SmileSquadChallenge to get followers posting their own routines.
  • Ended posts with one booking line and the clinic's number, so each one could turn into an appointment.
  • Read the Insights: short, funny, educational reels beat every other format, so I made more of them.

Results

+203.6%accounts reached in 30 days, across organic posts and paid boosts
+122.5%accounts engaged in the same 30 days
26Kplays on the "Smile magic!" reel, run as a boosted reel
72%of campaign leads became patients, as reported by the clinic

Tipsy Dive

A bar calendar built around theme nights, topical days and the IPL. Tipsy Dive is the bar at V Five Hotel in Kattankulattur, Chennai. A bar needs a reason to visit tonight, so I planned the feed around events people already cared about.

CherryClonk peeking

What I did

  • Built the weekly content rhythm around the bar's theme nights: Tamil Night on Sundays, Bollywood Night on Fridays, Club Night on Saturdays, and Ladies Night on Thursdays.
  • Tied posts to topical days (World Food Day, National Dessert Day, Pasta Day, Global Champagne Day) so there was a reason to post on quiet days.
  • For IPL season, planned a story for every match day, with special GIFs on CSK match days. The calendar tracked delivery and client approval for each piece.
  • Wrote reel briefs and designer notes, like using a cricket ball for the "O" in "We Never Run Out Of Options".
  • Reels with trending audio beat static posts in Insights, so I moved more of the plan to reels.

Results

+838.5%accounts reached in 30 days, across organic posts and paid boosts

✦ Case study 3 · Tag Media Works

Two brands, two deliberately different systems.

Same person, different systems, each built for what the brand needed.

Madras Pickleball

Energy, in the city's own voice.

Madras Pickleball mood board cover in blue and orange: Global Standards, Local Soul

A pickleball club with courts in Thiruvanmiyur. I built the brand around bold blue and orange and one line, "Global Standards, Local Soul". The copy mixes Tamil and English the way Chennai actually talks.

Vanakkam Chennai! Semma rally time! Aatam aarambikkalama? Namma Chennai ready-aa?

The stories carry the offer and the next step: 12 coached classes a month for ₹12,000, or a 20-hour court pack for ₹12,000 to use within 30 days, booked on TurfTown or by phone.

House of Kade

Precision.

House of Kade mood board cover

A minimalist fashion label. The visual system sets a colour rule: Champagne Gold, Cream White and Deep Charcoal, each with a set percentage of use, and never more than 3 colours in one post. The August calendar shows one outfit in 3 shots (half-length, close-up, full-length), with filler posts between.

Campaign creatives

December 2025 · Video ads

Eklavya Test Series

Gave the creative direction and wrote the edit plans for 2 teacher videos aimed at JEE students. Each plan cuts the same footage into 5 versions to test against each other. The second set is organised by hook: fear, aspiration, FOMO, contrarian, and a mix of fear and aspiration. The design team cut them into 20- and 40-second ads in square and vertical formats, and they ran publicly.

September 2025 · Statics

Teacher's Day campaign

Wrote and reviewed the copy: "Celebrating Teachers By Choice. Our tribute becomes your reward." The ads offered the DNA Express (NEET) and 1-year Arjuna courses at ₹1,999, down from ₹6,999, in English-batch and Telugu-batch versions, sized for feed (1200x1200) and stories (720x1280). The campaign ran publicly.
