Senior Content & Social Media Manager | AI-Driven Strategy | 14+ Years | Ex-ONE Championship | Ex-Sportskeeda | Open to Remote

About

For 14 years, I've been building content and social platforms that grow, from zero to millions. At Sportskeeda, I helped scale a sports media brand to 50M+ monthly users, launched an entire Hindi content vertical that hit 10M+ monthly pageviews, and drove 20M+ pageviews during marquee events like the FIFA World Cup and ICC Cricket World Cup. At ONE Championship, I built the India content and social operation from scratch, growing it to 100K+ monthly pageviews, scaling social audiences to 425K+ followers, and launching syndication partnerships with Jio News, MyKhel, and Sportstar. But here's what I'm focused on now: Since early 2025, I've been deep in AI-driven content and social workflows, not just using tools, but documenting, testing, and building systems using Claude, ChatGPT, Canva AI, and Freepik AI. I experiment publicly on LinkedIn and Medium: prompt frameworks for content briefs, AI-assisted editorial calendars, SEO research workflows, multilingual content scaling, practical stuff, not theory. This intersection, content and social strategy depth plus hands-on AI fluency, is what I bring to the table in 2026. I'm currently exploring senior remote roles in: → Content Strategy & Editorial Leadership → Social Media Strategy & Growth → AI Content / Head of Content → Digital Marketing (Content-Led) Industries: SaaS, D2C, creator economy, EdTech, sports tech, and agencies handling global brands. sharma.pritam87@gmail.com | www.pritamsharma.com | medium.com/@pritamsharma
