Tamara Henrickson

Digital Marketing Strategist

Meet Tamara Henrickson, a social media strategist who speaks fluent engagement and analytics. At work, she’s the one translating brand goals into content people actually want to share. At home, she’s the self-appointed Elvis Presley historian teaching my two boys that blue suede shoes are, in fact, not to be stepped on (a lesson my dog constantly ignores). 

Tamara is a former YMCA of Greater Charlotte social media strategist, and INSP content creator making 50-year-old television shows interesting again for the Facebook generation. She believes great content is like a great song (hopefully an Elvis one 😉)—it makes you feel something, stays with you long after, and occasionally makes you want to dance.
