With donkey’s years of experience as a content writer, photographer and content marketer, I bring the whole kit and kaboodle to your marketing and communications projects. • Interview clients and write fascinating case studies and blog articles? Big tick. • Capture fabulous images of you in action at the helm of your business? I can do that. • Weave sentences together that makes AI look a bit meh? Yep. • A beady eye to spot those pesky misplaced apostrophes? Oh yes please. • Whip up a communications plan that will align with your business goals? I’m slightly salivating just thinking about it. And that’s just a teeny tiny taste of what I can do. I love nothing more than sprinkling some magic on a brand with scroll-stopping content and killer communication strategies that make a business shine like a disco ball on the dance floor of success.
