    As an experienced self-starter who can think creatively and strategically about the custom needs of both endemic and non-endemic partners, I execute creative ideation and content production for strategic clients, driving the strategic editorial direction and creative execution across all customer touchpoints through text- and image-driven editorial content. A passionate storyteller, I work with partners to interpret and tell the tourism stories they want to share through content and cross-channel marketing, and create impactful editorial, advertorial and native advertising content to improve and influence customer experiences. From the initial brief through to final delivery, I am accountable for projects being delivered as expected, on time, and on budget. My key responsibilities include defining editorial best practices, evangelising for the role of editorial content in the business and creative strategies, securing resources to execute editorial concepts with an emphasis on driving best-in-class work that is distinctive and memorable for consumers, creating operational processes needed for the production, publishing, and distribution of editorial content, and commissioning, editing and creating content across all media types, including text, video, TV/film, and audio through my excellent editorial and content development skillsets. In addition, my background in analysing and interpreting consumer data allows me to design effective campaigns and optimise performance across all aspects of media landscape, inform creative strategy and stay ahead of the competition, develop and lead production of custom concepts with a focus on new technologies and contribute to a team dynamic of innovation and big idea generation.
