    Hi there, Innovator! Before we give our relationship a label, I have a question for you... Are you ready to get intentional, consistent, and creative with your company's marketing strategy and online content? If not, our journey together, unfortunately, ends here. Sticking around? Great! That means you’re aware of the power of storytelling through compelling articles, educational blog posts, and engagement-worthy social media content for the growth of your business. Content helps you answer the pressing questions your target audience is asking on search engines and social media. It helps you build brand awareness and gain the trust of your current and future clients by positioning your brand as an authority in your industry. Sounds fancy and professional right? BUT, are you getting actual leads from all this content? Don’t be mistaken, this all goes far beyond the writing itself - it’s about consistency, quality, and providing value for your audience. As a game-changer in your sector, are you willing to settle for the bare minimum, or are you always trying to step into uncharted territory? Remember that customers use online platforms like search engines, so SEO-optimized content will help your brand get discovered by customers searching for exactly what you’re advertising in your posts. So think of me as the quirky, big-eyed South African wordsmith who’s here to do four things for your business through content: - Amplify your brand online. - Build and maintain your site's authority as a trusted resource. - Ensure your brand shows up online consistently and creatively. - Help you increase your visibility on search engines organically. I write in your unique brand’s tone, you know that tone your community knows and loves? That tone! Excited to work with you! Look, if you still need that extra push, just read my testimonials to see what previous clients had to say. Now go ahead and send that invite! :)

    Hi there. Let me help you create a publication that is attractive and professional, suitable for your purpose, and does justice to your skills and ideas. After a number of years in the teaching profession, I began a career in publishing, specialising in the design and layout of all sorts of publications. These included books (educational and general), reports (e.g. for government departments), school magazines, newsletters and promotional material for various institutions, fill-in forms, and incidental documents such as menus, calendars and diaries. These often involved the creation of maps, charts and diagrams. Over the last few years I have concentrated more and more on helping my clients with independent publishing and ebooks for Amazon (CreateSpace and Kindle). As a former English teacher I can also offer an editing and proof-reading service, if required, to ensure an error-free and professional final product. I am proficient in InDesign CS6, Photoshop CS6, Illustrator CS6 and MS Word, and have an adequate acquaintance with various other design and drawing programmes. Contact me for a happy publishing experience.
