Helena in a few words

A little background on me, I am an experienced Social Media Specialist with experience in Content Management, Copywriting, Influencer Marketing, Paid and over 6-years experience and a demonstrated history of working in both B2C and B2B roles, across agency and in-house positions. I have worked in various industries including: Fashion, Travel, Food & Drink, Publishing, Music and Property. I help the brands I work with to understand the importance of having a strong social media presence and assist in taking care of all aspects tailored to suit each business needs enabling my clients to effectively navigate digital media and increase their reach. Most recently I have worked with ASOS, Aperol Spritz UK, BMW/Mini UK, Constance Hotels & Resorts and Otrium.

In addition to this, I take great pride in 2 of my own social media channels where I plan and create all the content myself, all centred around content created from my love for travelling and food. Both of my channels have generated high engagement and rapid growth to an audience of over 45k+ combined on Instagram, as well as creating viral Tik Tok content with over 3mil+ views.

We cover street style, the latest trends, style advice and reveal the latest products available for the fashion conscious young male. The vision for PAUSE was to create a platform which effortlessly expresses male fashion. The idea behind the word PAUSE was for its audience to physically as well as visually pause (stop) for male fashion, style advice and the latest trends. PAUSE signifies the actual pause icon by pausing every fashionable moment for its audience. Once you 'PAUSE' it is our job to bring you the very best and exclusive information about male fashion. What makes PAUSE unique is that there isn't a male fashion magazine for the youth audience. We specialise in promoting urban, street wear, vintage, formal/informal, indie-rock-influenced, casual and new era fashion. PAUSE delivers stylish and inspiring photography to influence its audience by purchasing products promoted by PAUSE. PAUSE supports and guides its audience by giving them self-esteem to look & feel better.
