Content is king, so let's make yours wear a crown! From your website to your newsletter, your socials to company swag, your content says everything about your brand.

If you need a hand getting into the weeds, I can also support on:

  • Content scheduling and reporting

  • Social ghostwriting (i.e. I run your LinkedIn profile)

Know you’re in need of some support but it’s not any of the above above? I’m always happy to have a no-obligation chat and see if I’m the right fit to help you out, or recommend someone I know who might be.


FAQs

  • I can charge on an hourly rate or per project, depending on the type or work and timeframe.

    The first step is having a conversation to understand what you need done and when. Give me the brief and I will flip it and reverse it, coming back to you with a plan. In that plan I will include set hours, with total transparency on what happens when we reach out allocated time together or overtime is required.

    Having worked with a lot of start-ups, I will often provide you with two quotes – ‘Condensed’ and ‘Comprehensive’ – so you can see what fits best within your budget.

  • Not at the moment! Whether it’s a single campaign or just a few hours here and there, I’m happy to have a chat about short-term and ad hoc engagements.

  • I love to team up with clients who are as excited about their brand as I am! Whether you're launching a startup, looking to shake things up in an established business, or carving out your niche as an entrepreneur, I'm here for it.

    My expertise extends across various industries and verticals, including but not limited to: hospitality, e-commerce, tourism, start-ups, agencies, food-tech, and marketplaces.
