About me

Hey, I'm Phoenix.

Phoenix Rios

I'm a digital marketer and content creator based in Massachusetts. I make social media — strategy, content, campaigns, and everything in between.

I specialize in social media management, video production, and paid advertising. On any given day, I might be building out a content calendar, directing a shoot, writing copy, editing, or jumping in front of the camera myself.

I've worked in several industries — nonprofit, retail, and media — building digital communities that actually mean something to people. The internet is a scary place, but I like to help build spaces that stand apart from that.

Outside of work I'm really into music (hip hop especially), making my own content, and gaming.

Food Bank of Western Massachusetts
March for the Food Bank
2025 — 16th Annual
A two-day, 43-mile walk across Western Massachusetts led by local radio personality Monte Belmonte, who pushes a shopping cart through multiple counties to raise money for the Food Bank. The 2025 march was the most successful in the event's history — the highest turnout and highest fundraising totals the organization has ever seen. That year's theme leaned into a Mr. Rogers costume, which we built original content around including a scripted teaser video directed and edited in-house, and a year-end recap reel.
