    Strategic Content Partner for B2B Tech and Founder-led Enterprises

    I create research-driven content that differentiates your positioning and gives your sales team defensible assets through original insights your competitors can't replicate. That's the AI version. 

    An experienced generalist, specializing in content, as opposed to a content specialist/copywriter in the purest sense. I have fulfilled executive, business and marketing functions as a whole, or in part, as the need arises, from email funnels to tenders, social media to website development, from video scripts to project management. The only constant within a wide range of functions spread across industries and time zones, is a remote mode of working which I've maintained for 9+ years.

    Work Examples​- Business and Executive Functions

    Website Redesign & Development 

    B2B Professional Services Firm
    Development Team • Project Management • Stakeholder Coordination 

    • Content Strategy • QA Testing • Technical Documentation 
    ​• Requirements Gathering


    The Challenge

    A B2B professional services needed help communicating their new GRC division capabilities. The challenge remained establishing  credibility in an emerging market while maintaining an established IT services reputation. The brief would extend to incorporate enhanced AI capability. I positioned the offering within a broad enterprise context to gain momentum with existing services, as well as niching within the audit space which fits in perfectly with existing stakeholder expertise and experience.

    The Solution

    I managed the complete website project lifecycle: 

    • Facilitated stakeholder workshops to align on goals and requirements 
    • Created project plan with clear phases, milestones, and decision points
    • Coordinated between developer and executives
    • Created content
    •  Documented technical SEO specifications and oversee ongoing maintenance procedures
    Result
    • Delivered on-time
    • Achieved stakeholder sign-off at each phase 

    Building Marketing Operations 

    Agency Client
    Asana • Notion • Process Documentation • Project Management • Team Coordination • SOP Development • Quality Assurance

    The Challenge

    A fast-growing IT division in an international audit firm had a new team creating content with no central system, calendar or content plan. The problem was two-fold. The Head of Department required the team to provide standardized project templates in response to RFPs, and to be able to track phases and timelines. Without an appointed marketing lead at the time, the team had struggled with co-ordination and had no real strategy going forward.

    The Solution

    I built comprehensive marketing operations infrastructure: 

    • Project tracking system in Asana with templates for each content type 
    • Editorial calendar in Notion with workflow stages and ownership 
    • SOP library covering content creation, review, approval, and publication 
    • QA checklist and divisional guidelines ensuring consistency 
    • Client onboarding framework standardizing intake and kickoff

    Result

    • Reduced missed deadlines from 40% to under 5% 
    • Planned editorial calendar for a 12 month period with re-purposing initiatives 
    • Streamline project management initiatives by providing a ISA 315, ISAE 2304 (Prince2) guideline template and helping team to identify bottlenecks and potential issues
    • Helped team build a value chain of content possibilities
    • Created scalable system that supported team functions, notably, repository and communications
    • Provided material for client onboarding

    AI SYSTEM TRAINING & WORKFLOW OPTIMIZATION

    In-house marketing

    AI Training • Workflow Design • Process Documentation • Quality Assurance • Change Management • SOP Development • Content Operations

    The Challenge

    Company stakeholders needed to demonstrate the in-house AI system's capabilities to enterprise clients, but their existing prompts lacked the technical sophistication required for C-suite audiences. With limited time and high stakes, they needed to balance prompt engineering with technical depth and business clarity that could be replicated by the wider team.

    The Solution

    I implemented content into the GRC platform:

    • Created prompt library with quality benchmarks
    • Ensured AI outputs met brand standards

    Result

    • Mapped 10 processes to identify AI use cases
    • Selected both Claude and ChatGPT for specific tasks including summarization, competitive analysis and draft generation
    • Added custom prompts in GRC platform
    • Freed up 20 hrs weekly for higher-value work
    •  Created template bank adopted by wider team
