Good ideas deserve to be heard. Let's make some noise.

Big-picture thinking and hands-on marketing expertise, without the agency layers.

Kia ora, I'm Emily. I am an independent marketing consultant, helping organisations tell their stories, connect with the right people and make an impact.

From brand development and marketing strategy to PR, creative campaigns, content and more, I combine big-picture thinking with decades of marketing expertise to deliver results worth singing about.

And you'll work directly with me, from the first conversation to the final details.

No account managers, unnecessary layers or added agency overheads — just experienced, hands-on marketing support to help your business stand out and say your thing.

Strategy & Brand

Finding your direction, defining what makes you different and developing marketing strategies that connect your business goals with the people you want to reach.

Campaigns & Content

Creative campaigns, engaging content, copywriting, social media and email marketing that bring your ideas to life and give people a reason to take notice.

PR & Communications

Getting your story out there. From media relations and publicity to communications planning and compelling messages that help you build awareness and credibility.

Ongoing support

An experienced marketing partner when you need one. From planning and managing activity to getting stuck into the day-to-day work, I can become an extension of your team.
