Your in-house
social partner.

Big-picture thinking, hands-on delivery.

I'm a Sydney-based independent social specialist working with brands and agencies across social strategy, social video content production and influencer marketing. With 12 years specialising in social, I bring the experience to shape the strategy, the creative judgement to develop ideas and the hands-on skills to make them happen.

why work with me

Big-brand experience,
independent thinking.

I've spent 12 years specialising in social media, building my experience across creative strategy, content production and influencer marketing. Before going independent, I managed award-winning campaigns across APAC for brands including Adobe and Lenovo, and worked on major campaigns for Spotify and Optus. Today I bring that experience directly to brands and agencies, with the speed, ownership and hands-on delivery of an independent specialist.

the difference

Senior enough to shape it,
hands-on enough to make it.

Great social needs more than good ideas. It needs strategic direction, creative judgement and the ability to deliver consistently. Working across strategy, content and influencer means I can see the bigger picture, make commercially informed decisions and keep things moving.

Expert judgement

I know where to focus, what makes effective creative and how to turn business objectives into practical, achievable plans.

Ownership & momentum

I help shape the brief, bring recommendations and take responsibility for delivering the work. Fewer handovers, less back-and-forth, more progress.

A genuine partnership

I work alongside your team, combining an understanding of your business with an independent perspective. You work directly with the person shaping the thinking and delivering the work.

what i do

Three disciplines,
one connected approach.

Whether you need a clear strategic direction, content that connects with your audience or a creator campaign that delivers, I can lead the thinking, the execution or both.

01 · strategy

Social Strategy

From understanding your audience and defining your content pillars to developing channel strategies and campaigns, I build practical social strategies grounded in business objectives and behavioural goals, not vanity metrics.

Social Video Content Production

A senior pair of hands

Close enough to know the client, independent enough to raise my hand.

how we work together

Ways we can work together.

Not every business needs a full-time social specialist, and not every project needs an ongoing retainer. I work with brands and agencies in different ways, depending on the challenge and the support required.

01

Standalone Projects

Need a social strategy, a batch of video content or an influencer campaign? I take ownership of a defined project, from initial thinking through to delivery.

02

Repeat Project Partnerships

One month a strategy refresh, the next a campaign or event. Flexible, project-based support that builds on an established relationship, without a fixed monthly retainer.

03

Ongoing Social Partnerships

An extension of your marketing team, providing strategic guidance, content production or ongoing social management through an agreed monthly scope.
