      Travel Writer

      I wrote for the company's website on a four month contract. It was a such challenge to sit on white sand and sip cocktails; no, really, to do justice to the beauty of the place and capture all the emotions I felt on the day trips they provided was hard to encapsulate.

      Jul 2020 - Jun 2022
      Marketing and Communications Coordinator

      Editing a website, finnco.co.nz, from bare bones by creating content and rearranging the order using the customers' main question 'What is in for me?' to structure the site. They want to know what brands and products we stock and what services we offer and they want that information quickly so I made a summary of that on the homepage and I moved the history of the company from there to an 'about us' section and added more information about various products and services. I then promote the website through social media- LinkedIn and Facebook- and will soon start releasing eDMs (Electronic Direct Mail). Show less
