Allie in a few words
I am an experienced copywriter, social media strategist and content manager, event management consultant, marketer as well as an editor and proofreader... The good news is I've been doing this for over 30 years! In a nutshell... I absolutely love what I do!
Now for a bit more of the boring stuff... the work I do includes:
- content and digital marketing strategies, campaigns and management
- social media content/asset creation and management
- website content creation and management, including landing pages
- extensive copywriting of blogs, articles, PRs, web pages, email campaigns, newsletters, ebooks, white papers, guides, product descriptions/guides, brochures and more
- copy editing and proofreading solutions
- SEO and keyword optimisation
I am a creative wordsmith with a difference; passionate about my work; a perfectionist and an all-round lover of the written word in all its forms - ok, that last bit was less boring, but now we re-focus...
A marketer with years of experience incorporating marketing strategies, content marketing, offline, online and digital communications.
Social media asset/content creation, strategies, campaigns and social media management across different platforms.
A highly professional copy editor and proofreader of just about anything! I am a perfectionist and I have lost count of the number of hours of proofreading experience I have gained over the years... you name it and I've probably proofread it!
Event management is a key aspect of my work and I love it! From the initial discussions and developing strategies to the planning, facilitating and management of events, including conferences, seminars, podcasts, forums, roundtables, exhibitions, networking and training events worldwide, it's a pure adrenaline rush!
