MANAV SURI
I’m Manav, a social media marketer who builds brand presence from the ground up. I manage accounts, run paid Meta ad campaigns, design graphics, write captions, and build content strategies tailored to the specific business, audience, and goals in front of me. No templates, no recycled approaches.
My work spans restaurants, nonprofits, real estate, arts and culture, trades education, and local businesses across BC. Every client gets a strategy built around what makes them different and what their audience actually needs to see.
Outside of client work, I was recognized at Douglas College for leadership and community impact, winning the Up and Coming Student Leader Award and receiving two nominations for the Student Leader Award. I hold two Meta certifications in Digital Marketing and Creative Strategy, and I am continuously adding to my knowledge across the platforms and disciplines that shape modern marketing.
Social media is not just what I do. It is how I think.
I THRIVE WHEN
There is a real story to tell and no one has told it yet.

During my role at Black Press, I’ve worked with clients across a wide range of industries, including hospitality, construction, food and beverage, automotive, plumbing, and local services.

With a strong foundation in digital analytics and data visualization tools such as Tableau, I focus on turning performance data into actionable insights. I also designed and built this portfolio website independently, reflecting both my technical skills and creative approach.
