I help brands protect, promote, and power up their reputation. If you need a PR, communications, or content partner who can step in, take the reins, and deliver measurable results fast — that’s where I come in. With 15+ years’ experience leading high-impact campaigns across APAC, EMEA, and North America, I’ve: - Secured top-tier media coverage in fiercely competitive markets. - Steered brands through crises with calm, clear, and strategic messaging. - Created content that converts — from thought leadership and press releases to web copy and social campaigns. - Positioned executives as trusted industry voices. Clients hire me because I cut through the noise, adapt fast, and deliver work that’s polished, persuasive, and on-brand, every time. Whether it’s a short-term project or a long-term partnership, I bring strategic insight, creativity, and a results-first mindset. If you’re ready for communications that cut through the noise and content that inspires action, I’m ready to help you make it happen.

Hi, I'm Jeremy 👋 I build the systems that let founders & agencies scale without hiring more staff. → Scaled an agency to $30k/mo using automation. I know the exact bottlenecks you're facing. → Saved $60k per annum in costs by building an automated voice agent for a health clinic → Scaled to $14k/month in 3 months by bootstrapping a Real Estate Media business Most businesses I speak with are people dependent as in they are spending way too much time on tasks that often don’t make them any money. When I come into a business my aim is to break down what you do, find the bottlenecks, then see where we can get the best wins. I’ve run both digital marketing agencies and media companies. It was during building these companies that I learnt how to remove myself from repetitive tasks and tasks I hated doing. Would love to chat.

I’m a copywriter and creative writer who turns ideas into content that stops people mid-scroll and actually makes them care. I whip up: - Website copy that doesn’t put people to sleep - Blog posts people actually finish (no skimming required) - Articles that get shared, not ignored - Marketing content that sneaks under the “meh” radar and hits home Think of me as your word-wrangler: I take your ideas, tame them into something sharp, cheeky, and engaging, then launch them into the world ready to work. Whether it’s a sales page that persuades, a blog that hooks, or a brand story that sounds like you, I’ve got you covered - and I’ll make the process painless (maybe even a little fun).

With experience across tertiary education, health, not-for-profit and sponsorship, I'm a keen writer and storyteller with a particular interest in the sciences. I have knack for turning complex, technical information into content that resonates with a variety of audiences and am confident working in the details or at a higher, more strategic level. A comms jack-of-all-trades, I've tackled a wide range of projects from writing web, eDM and social copy, to penning media releases, articles, annual reports, speeches for CEOs, key messages, video scripts and strategy documents. I've also project managed two full website refreshes and I'm adept with Canva and Adobe InDesign. The quality of my work speaks for itself. While working as a communications and marketing manager for a New Zealand-based children's charity, I delivered awareness campaigns for sponsors that consistently exceeded reach and engagement targets. Please note that I am currently based in Bengaluru, India and am operating on India Standard Time. I am happy to flex my schedule to suit client needs.
