I am a highly skilled creative with a career split equally between journalism, commercial writing and advertising, now combining the three. I serve as managing editor and publisher of The Stable, an international online trade publication covering advertising and marketing creativity and production, where I am the primary journalist and help drive editorial direction, content strategy and growth. The publication is read in major markets such as the US and the UK, with reach extending to Uruguay and Chile, and I oversee The Stable’s Best Bits newsletter distributed twice weekly. Beyond The Stable, I freelance as a writer, PR and communications specialist, with ongoing work for AdFest and AdFest Buzz, and I am the international lead PR specialist for MAD STARS. My past roles span Yaffa Media, Vogue Australia, Wentworth Courier, Grey Worldwide and Ogilvy, among others, shaping strategy, storytelling and PR for creative industries worldwide and delivering award-winning work for a broad client roster.
