I consult with business owners to plan a strategy so that they can be found online. We use a combination of Web Development, Search Engine Optimization, Social Media Marketing, Blogs, Lead Capture, Article and Video Marketing.

My role involves implementation of the strategy and project management of online assets. I outsource to a technical team for the build, advise on content, write copy and offer search engine optimization to generate traffic. I plan and manage social media profiles and campaigns.

Current projects include: Stage 1 Social Media Consultation with One Agency a Real Estate group

My business is now their preferred supplier for Online Marketing, Social Media Strategies, SEO and implementation of those strategies.
