I work to increase the value, visibility and footprint of your brand, business, people, products and services in the diverse, multi-channel media landscape. I produce content including news releases, ASX announcements, video content, social media posts, scripts, speeches, EDMS, photography, reports, websites and podcasts. The possibilities are endless. It all depends on what your strategy requires.

I studied a double undergraduate degree in Media and Arts at The University of Adelaide, completing some of the course at Maastricht University in The Netherlands. While studying in Adelaide, I developed marketing skills through more than four years at Nova Entertainment in its street team and as a Master of Ceremonies. After getting a rude shock at work experience stints with Network Ten and the 7 Network, feeling I was not ready to become a journalist, I elevated my skill set and put myself through a Graduate Diploma in Journalism at RMIT. From there, I felt I could hit the ground running with jobs in print, online, radio, podcasting and now, communications.
Featured work
TERRAGEN EDUCATIONAL VIDEO
In this video, I worked with Terragen to help introduce and educate its audience to a ruminant feed supplement, MYLO®.
I devised a communications strategy so close stakeholders, investors, clients and agents could view the video before it was rolled out to the greater public across a range of social media platforms.
I wrote the video script, coached the talent through presenting, helped the videographers with the editing process and published the video with sharp, fit-for-purpose copy to cater to each platform. I ensured I used the most appropriate hashtags and identified the best keywords for SEO.
ABC RURAL REPORT
I orchestrated an interview between Terragen CEO Jim Cooper and the ABC for one of its flagship radio programs, The Rural Report. I wrote the media release, sent it to the appropriate newsrooms, set up the interview, received an audio recording and turned it into an engaging video file with ‘descript’.
FARMS ADVICE PODCAST
With the digital era presenting long-form interview opportunities via podcasting, I have pitched and facilitated Terragen appearing on one of Australia’s top 10 agricultural podcasts, the ‘Farms Advice’ podcast with Jack Cresswell.

Social Media Campaign Success
A campaign for a product which Agritrading distributes, the GrainSense Analyser, has led to more than $100,000 turnover in sales. A handful of posts over a couple of months went from creating awareness in its audience, to generating engagement, and finally converting them onto the product.
Finding influential farmers to give testimonials and telling stories of positive customer experiences is one of the most powerful converters for potential customers who are on the fence about using product. This was the case with Terragen customer Stewie Davies, who uses its product in both dairy and beef cows. Not only has the post reached more than twice the amount of Australian dairy farmers, it has received positive feedback, led to new page likes and is a foundational tool for Terragen’s sales team to thrive.
Cost-effective product advertisements for Terragen have led to enquiries such as this one. The customer used to use Terragen’s MYLO product, forgot about it, then this targeted ad triggered her memory and the success the product brought her. She then signed herself and her sister on as customers, with 1100 cows between them.
