Highlights of my role include; leading a digital rebrand of Yarra Magazine, developing the Go-To-Market strategy for Yarra Weddings, diversifying advertising partnerships and developing professional relationships with existing clientel.

Serving as the primary point of contact for media enquiries and leading the brand’s social media strategy, I have developed a versatile skillset across marketing, communications, and public relations.

    Yarra Weddings

    Collaboratively formulated the go-to-market and branding strategy for Yarra Weddings, the second title in the Yarra Publishing portfolio. This emerging publication was born from a desire to celebrate the artisans and venues of the Yarra Valley in an editorial, romantic light. After recognising a gap in the market for a Yarra Ranges specific wedding publication, this project aimed to provide an intentional and thoughtful solution to vendor advertising.

    The Garage Sign Shop

    This consulting project was led with education and laying the framework for developing skills in content, copy writing, social media scheduling and SEO. By creating a digestible and reflective experience, the team was able to take control of their digital marketing strategy. This allowed the team to unlock a unique product offering, by integrating their talents in branding and graphic design with their signage products to provide a comprehensive retail solution.
