Hi! I'm Damia "Mia" Day, and if there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I genuinely love bringing ideas to life.
I'm a creative strategist, content producer, and multimedia storyteller with a background in marketing, public relations, photography, and video production. Whether I'm building a social media strategy, directing a content shoot, capturing an event, or brainstorming the next big campaign, I believe the best work happens when creativity and purpose meet.
I earned my Bachelor's degree in Marketing and Public Relations from Chicago State University, but most of what I know has come from being behind the scenes, in the field, and saying "yes" to opportunities that challenged me to grow.
Over the years, I've had the opportunity to create content for political campaigns, universities, nonprofits, community organizations, live events, and national brands. My work has included collaborations and productions connected to Visa, Chicago White Sox, HOKA, Double Good, Netflix productions, Sofar Sounds Chicago, and the Baddies USA Tour, while also leading marketing initiatives for organizations like the Chicago State University ROTC Media Program and political campaigns that successfully connected with their communities.
Results matter just as much as creativity. Through thoughtful strategy and consistent storytelling, I've helped grow social media communities, increase engagement, strengthen brand identities, and create content that people don't just scroll past—they remember.
But if you ask me what I'm most proud of, it isn't a logo or a client list.
It's the trust.
Every project represents someone who believed in an idea enough to share it with me. I never take that lightly.
That's why ShotByDay isn't just about creating beautiful content. It's about building relationships, telling authentic stories, and creating work that reflects the people behind the brand.
When I'm not editing videos, planning campaigns, or chasing the perfect shot, you'll probably find me collecting inspiration, exploring a new creative idea, or convincing myself that "just one more edit" won't turn into another late night.
(It usually does.)
Thank you for stopping by. I hope this gives you a glimpse into who I am and how I create. If you think we'd make a great team, I'd love to connect.
– Mia
