Danielle Ernest
Social Media Specialist

I’ve always believed that every brand has a story waiting to be told. My journey began at Disneyland, where I created “Tales of a Disneyland Cast Member.” What started as a small blog blossomed into something much bigger—over 10,000 weekly views from readers across more than 100 countries! This experience ignited my passion for storytelling and laid the groundwork for my career in digital strategy and content creation.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with some incredible brands in the pharmaceutical industry. At Amgen, I built and managed our corporate social media channels from the ground up. The result? A remarkable 55% growth in our online presence across platforms like LinkedIn and Instagram! I thrive on using data to drive strategies that not only engage audiences but also align perfectly with branding objectives. In my recent role as Senior Vice President at MSL (Global), I designed targeted ad campaigns that exceeded engagement goals by over 15%.
My love for social media doesn’t just stop at work; it’s woven into my everyday life. Whether it’s curating engaging content for various platforms or connecting with communities online, I find joy in fostering relationships through meaningful conversations. During my time managing two brands at Accuride International Inc., I grew our Instagram following to over 31,000 by creating authentic connections with our audience.
Outside of work, you can find me exploring new photography techniques or volunteering for local community initiatives that promote digital literacy. These experiences keep me grounded and remind me of the power of connection—whether it's through visual storytelling or engaging online discussions.
