Your Australian Business, Finance and Economics Specialist

When you want a specialist in business, finance and economics, I am your man.

My purpose is to leave the world better informed and to do that I inform myself by reading 5 papers a day before 9am. I then write and podcast for top 500 companies and ruling bodies about the Australian political and economic climate and the financial outcomes that affect business and individuals every day.

Copywriting

I am a copywriter and content creator.

In a nutshell, my job is pitch your brand to a target audience with words. I can do this in all sorts of ways.

If you need a bio for LinkedIn, or your website, I will write it.

If you want to have a video on your website, I will script it.

If you need a podcast, I will script it for you, record it and then provide you with the link. Or I can show you how to do it yourself.

If you need words to promote one of your products, come to me, I’ll write them for you.

If you want a website with words that grab people’s attention, come to me and I’ll do it for you.

If you need social media that creates an impact, I will provide you with the words.

And of course, if you need to promote your business with a brochure, I’ll write that.

The thing that sets me apart as a copywriter is my experience as a journalist. I actually love using my passion for language and storytelling skills that I developed as a journalist to create a desire for whatever brand, product or service I’ve been asked to promote as a copywriter. As a journalist, I covered all sorts of industries and talked to all sorts of people, from the ordinary to the famous. Which means I can talk to all sorts of clients.
