I build performance creative and paid social campaigns that turn ideas into conversions.
What I'm looking for
I've owned end-to-end performance marketing at Contiki Holidays, managing paid social, SEM, email, creative strategy, website content, and conversion optimisation across global and regional campaigns.
I restructured Contiki's house media strategy to deliver a 15% increase in Direct Sales, while leading creative from brief through execution and continuous testing. My work was recognised through Contiki's Top Talent Program, a Challenger Award, and a Mumbrella Travel Award finalist placement.
Since 2021, I've developed social strategy and always-on content for Sydney fitness and wellness studios including Studio Form & Flow, Muse Pilates Studio, and FLOE. I film, edit, and publish Reels and TikToks, testing hooks, formats, and angles to grow communities and drive intro-offer conversions.
I've worked across media agencies, brand-side marketing, and creator-economy roles for more than 10 years. Being both a Pilates instructor and content creator means I understand what a brief needs to say and what it takes to make the creative perform.
