Social media strategy & content production.

Driven by strategy, built on execution. Social media growth & content production from Kirsten Nicolaisen.

100% the best social media person I’ve ever worked with.

Kirsten thrived in her role and was a huge driver of CNET's social expansion, visual revamp and rethink in approach to Instagram and TikTok in particular. The ability to create, provide feedback, develop others, manage platform strategy, work across teams and still find time to breathe is rare, but Kirsten has it and then some.

MEET KIRSTEN.

Hi, I’m Kirsten Nicolaisen — a New York City–based social media strategist and content producer with 10+ years of experience turning ideas into growth.

When I started working in social media, it was a totally different beast. I’ve grown alongside the ecosystem — staying sharp and adapting quickly. I’ve worked in nearly every kind of media environment: local newsrooms, startups, legacy brands, agencies, radio stations and more. 

 

Before launching my consulting & production business, I was Head of Social at State Affairs, a political news startup, and Senior Social Manager at CNET, where I led a creative team and contributed to award-winning social video content. I’ve also shaped social strategy for the New York Post, and local ABC affiliates in Washington, DC and Portland, OR. 

 

I now bring my expertise to a variety of clients — agencies, restaurant groups, and individual creators —  with my work spanning strategy, content production, campaign management, influencer marketing, writing and photography. 

 

Here’s what I’ve learned throughout my career: strategy matters, but execution is everything. I don’t just tell you what to do — I help you do it. Quickly. Thoughtfully. Without endless meetings or overthinking.

 

If you’re looking for someone honest, action-first, and extremely online — I’m your person.
