“In Shayla's time at Lyft, she was a remarkable coworker and an invaluable member of our social media team. Though she primarily focused on our Instagram presence, her impact quickly spread across the entire marketing organization. With impeccable taste and a keen eye for great creative work, she spearheaded the look and feel of our social creative work. Shayla always brings fresh ideas to the table, rallying key strategic, creative, and production partners around them. Her background in entertainment allowed her to seamlessly integrate cross-functionally, embedding herself in the creative process with a clear point of view and exciting new perspectives. Above all, Shayla's passion for great social media and her desire to push the boundaries of our work drove Lyft towards a brighter, social-first future. You can always count on Shayla to scour the data and make strong recommendations for optimizing channels. Whether it's a new content series or a new social format to test and learn, her ideas are always backed by thorough research and her sharp instincts. It's no surprise that in her time at Lyft the Instagram page thrived visually, tonally, and by the numbers. Working with Shayla was an absolute pleasure. Confident and diligent, she inspires others to create with intention. I learned so much from working alongside Shayla this year - both personally and professionally. It's hard to walk away from a conversation with Shayla without feeling motivated. I hope to work with Shayla again in the future, and any team looking for a creative, strategic partner will be lucky to have her. ”
