Stay Socially connected

Services

Hi, I’m Annabel and I’m obsessed with making connections between people and ‘things’ that create memorable experiences, long term connections, deliver results and create raging fans. I’m also a big fan of doing things in a sustainable manner and working with incredible people along the way.

Marketing, Communications + PR

From strategy to reporting, digital marketing to social media and copy writing or simply making a plan of attack, I bring over 15 years of working across multiple industries from financial services to FMCG, loyalty, utilities, agency, tourism, sport and recreation.

Social Media Strategy + Content Creation

With over a decade of experience operating across all major social channels building substantial audiences as well as the new kids on the block, I have a knack of knowing what will work for your brand/business and how to build a connection with your audience through strategy, content creation, copy as well as a paid advertising. I also offer creative direction and content creation services to ensure that you never have to worry about lacking authentic content that connects with your audience.

Social Media Management + Training

Let’s get real, you know you need to do it but the thought of developing skills in the social space brings you out in hives or you simply can’t dedicate the time you know you need to. Likewise the backend of Meta is causing you heart palpitations…… I’m here to hold your hand, to keep things simple, on brand and connected to your audience. I’ll take you step by step as we build your skills (and confidence) to get you ready to fly when it comes to all things social or simply take it off your plate.

Events + Project Management

Great events involve vision, sound planning, exceptional logistics, attention to detail and the ability to roll with the punches and remain calm when needed. I bring over 15 of experience in running large scale events, managing and delivering significant projects.

Sponsorship

Are you looking to sponsor/partner with something to amplify the message of your brand or organisation? Or are you seeking sponsors to bring an event property to life? Or are you needing to deliver the contractual obligations of sponsors and commercial partners? If so, get in touch.
