Content Strategy, Brand Discovery & Copywriting.
Words aren’t content, they’re currency.
It’s overcrowded out there. Your words are everything.
As AI edges into every aspect of our lives, our need for genuine connection is stronger than ever. We can use the tools to be more efficient, but it takes human instincts and experience to connect on an emotional level. If you want your copy and communications to truly strike a chord with your customers, they need to know:
How do you improve their lives?
Why should they pick you over your competition?
How can they trust you?
As audiences become less trusting and more sceptical, now more than ever, what you say and how you say it is everything.

Maybe you need help building your brand messaging and content strategy? Whether it’s for a new website, marketing campaign or ongoing content creation, I’d love to help.

Gemma was a joy to have in our MMS Brand and Employee Comms team. Passionate, switched-on and incredibly detail-oriented are a few words that describe her. Empathetic, understanding and dedicated to communicating with her audience with warmth and connection are a few more. Funny, patient and hard-working. Intuitive, inquisitive and interested in knowing more. Many, many words that simply translate to the fact that she’s a gem.

Content, brand and SEO tips
Why hire a Melbourne copywriter?
Many people today are uninspired and distrusting of brands and the information they put out to the world. There’s too much ‘stuff’ out there, and a lot of it is poor and generic (and increasingly generated by artificial intelligence). As an experienced copywriter, I know how to engage audiences with a fresh, relevant angle. I understand the power of words and how to apply them to create reaction.
Balancing the intricacies of writing for SEO without compromising strength of message is a craft. And knowing how to adapt angle, tone of voice and language to different channels to drive response takes experience.
If you want your marketing communications to provide value to your customers and have an impact on your business, let me help.
What’s a content strategist?
While a copywriter is a master of words, a content strategist looks at the broader picture of your content and how each piece fits in with your overall marketing goals.
When I build a strategy for clients, I consider their audiences’ needs, what they want to achieve from their content, how they’ll monitor performance and what types of content will get the desired response.
You can have awesome words and valuable things to say, but it all tends to get lost without clever implementation. A clear and effective strategy gives your content direction and purpose.
