Cara Mia Gatti

From a young age, I was always the girl who loved being creative and planning events. Whether it was themed sleepovers, birthday parties, or holiday celebrations, I loved using my creativity to bring festive gatherings to life. In the days before Pinterest, I drew inspiration from magazines, books, and movies—and I have to give a lot of credit to my mom. Her natural talent for decorating and throwing parties was a huge inspiration, and I picked up so many of her secret tips and tricks along the way.

​

As I grew, my passion for organizing events only expanded, along with my Type-A knack for planning. I was also lucky enough to grow up in the era of social media, which gave me new outlets to share my creativity. Back in grade school, I was obsessed with designing a unique MySpace page, and I was quick to join Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram as soon as they emerged. I loved exploring each platform, sharing my ideas, collaborating with others, and discovering new creative inspirations.

​

Among my friend group, I was known as the one who always had a camera, capturing every moment to edit and share later. Telling stories through photos quickly became one of my favorite ways to express myself. Since social media was still fairly new when I graduated college, there weren’t any social media majors or classes, but I made it a priority to keep learning, adapting to every trend and update.

​

After graduating with a degree in Communications and PR, social media exploded in popularity, and I found myself using my skills in my career. My second job out of college was in social media, where I was able to refine my skills and build the company’s social media presence from the ground up.

​

Now, years later, I’m grateful to still work in social media marketing and have earned my master’s in Marketing and Social Media Management. I've expanded my talents to freelance for various brands, from small businesses to corporate clients, in social media, marketing, and event planning. I feel fortunate to have found my career path so early on, even if I didn’t realize it at the time. It’s a privilege to work in a field I love, and I’m thankful for all the stepping stones that guided me here. As the saying goes, a picture says a thousand words—but I make sure to get it all in one caption. 

​

I have over ten years of experience designing and implementing social media content across a range of industries, including weddings and events, retail, food and beverage, fireworks, beauty and wellness, and hospitality. My freelance services cover the full spectrum of marketing needs—from initial concept to final execution—bringing cohesive and impactful content to life.

Since relocating to Hollywood, FL, in 2021, I’ve had the privilege of working at Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort as the Marketing and Social Media Manager, where I enjoy combining my expertise with the vibrant energy of paradise.

Outside of social media, I’m passionate about volunteering in South Florida, beach runs, weekend trips to Disney World, and sharing great food with friends and family.
