Copy & Content

EDITORIALS & ADVERTORIALS, BRANDED CONTENT, SOCIAL MEDIA COPY AND CONTENT MARKETING

Whether it’s taking my red pen to magazine copy, breathing life into NGO reports or slashing through the wilderness of academic jargon, I apply the same storytelling principles that have attracted clients from across creative, healthcare and communications industries to every project I edit and oversee.

I have created social media content (IG, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter & TikTok) to address both the needs of campaigns and always-on, as well as blogs for brands and start ups as wide ranging as: Lil-Lets UK (and SA), Seven Career Coaching
Homegene, Profmed, Russell Hobbs, Iwisa, Dove, Sweetie Pie, Coach House, Beyers, House of Macadamias, BB Bakeries & Grundig
