About Marcus Washington

People come to me to get things done. I am a seasoned professional always ready to take on roles and responsibilities in the dynamic landscape of social media, communications, and marketing, with B2B and B2C experience. I currently serve as the Staff Social Media Manager at GitLab. Previously, I led the social media strategy for Amazon Web Services, spearheading the promotion of global events such as AWS re:Invent, AWS re:Inforce, and AWS Summits. My role involved shaping key perceptions, driving demand, and fostering deeper engagement with customers on a global scale, showcasing my deep understanding of large-scale event dynamics and their intersection with social media. I also led our social media content strategy for our generative AI products and services, while leading a team of industry marketers as we expanded the AWS social media landscape.Over the past 12 months, I’ve published more than unique social media posts across 12 branded accounts. I’ve supported these efforts with $720K in paid media, driving 1.6B impressions and 6M engagements, each significantly outperforming YoY metrics and team benchmarks. My contributions account for 42% of all posts, 29% of total ad spend, and nearly a third of total impressions and engagements among the 8 social media managers on the team. These numbers not only reflect my productivity but underscore my ability to strategize, scale, storytell and drive measurable impact at a global level.In previous roles, I’ve showcased my versatility by educating the public and employees on offerings at FPL Energy Services and driving significant audience growth for Georgia Power’s social media channels. My achievements include a remarkable 200% audience growth within a year and earning accolades such as an Emmy for Social Media Special Event coverage.Beyond my professional endeavors, I am deeply committed to my family and cherish moments spent with my wife, Tamisha, and our daughters, Macyn and Ziyann. Whether it’s mastering the art of the ponytail or cheering on my daughters at gymnastics, I approach every aspect of life with the same dedication and enthusiasm that defines my professional career.With a proven track record of delivering results, a passion for innovation, and a commitment to excellence in all endeavors, I am poised to drive success in director-level roles within the social marketing sphere. Let’s connect and explore how we can collaborate to achieve outstanding outcomes together.
