Your business is your business. My business is to tell your story.
One part communicator, one part strategist, I help you engage your audience and build your brand. I bring tactical acuity and an ability to ideate, offering an uncommon combination of big-picture conceptualization and attention-to-detail execution - with just the right ratio of business brain to creative thinking.
What I offer
Ideation and strategic conceptualization
Informed by your business strategy, I am able to develop everything from a campaign concept to a communications plan. And if you haven't articulated your strategy, I can help you do that. Think creative director meets down-to-the-detail storytelling that spans all of the areas you need it to.
Corporate communications
Experienced in C-suite communications, I deliver stakeholder-wide content. Whether collating internal messaging for a business unit or crafting external communications to key clients, I offer excellence in my work, which includes board documents, research, annual reports and marketing messaging
Speechwriting
I take words and work them in such a way as to offer the authenticity of your intent to audiences. I have written all sorts of speeches – from ones given at weddings in Africa to keynote addresses delivered at NYC's Rockefeller Center. Wherever your next speech might be, I can help you write it.
Ghostwriting
Each of us has a story to tell. The job of telling that story is, well, a different story altogether. Working with words that work is where I come in. Be it personal memoir, book or article that needs articulating, I bring years of interview, writing and editing skills to the storytelling table.
My personal storytelling
On my Substack, you will find a different kind of writing. On my She Writes What She Likes platform, I step back from creating content for corporates to writing for a consumer audience – my own. Excerpts from my book can be found here – along with other insights into daily life. Click through below.
Minutes of meetings
Need minutes for your board meetings? If you invite my business brain to your online or in-person meeting (or supply me with a recording or transcript), I will deliver you a meaningful set of minutes. They will be CI-compliant, smartly structured, well-articulated, and capture what matters most.
Experiences
Book author: three
This is a humorous book on parenting - a collation of pieces based on my six years as a back-page columnist for the popular South African parenting magazine, Living and Loving. Otherwise known as the cheapest contraceptive money can buy. 🙂
Book co-author: Retiremeant
This book was written for a client in the financial-services industry. Catering to a high-net-worth clientele, it explores key considerations - practical, personal and purposeful - around the life stage that is retirement, going beyond matters of money to how to build a life that is meaningful.
