Get in touch

Trusted by CEOs, organisations and agencies, I'm an experienced corporate writer who produces change-making content for good.

Picture
 
Welcome!

Over the last 15 years, I've developed a niche for translating complex ideas into purpose-driven prose and making sense of new sectors at speed. Collaborating with clients, we create meaningful content designed to bring about change.

My clients are industry leaders, experts and organisations keen to challenge the status quo. I love immersing myself in my clients' worlds and shaping their expertise into engaging content that drives action world-wide.

I'm engaged by a diverse bunch, working to develop content and stories that support the likes of Forge Works, Built, Smiling Minds, RMIT, AGL and Hoyne Design who engaged me to write a beautiful industry-shaking book.

I also partner with Communications and Marketing teams and creative agencies when they need an energetic writer to develop meaningful, change-making content through (but not limited to):
  • white papers
  • case studies and
  • thought leadership.

It's a privilege to help my clients discern what they want to say and how - to create action and scale new ways of thinking as we go.

"We worked with Emily to help make our digital services at Jobs Victoria more ‘human’. 

Between systemic government jargon and technology/digital barriers, people can often feel isolated and confused engaging with us online.
​
Emily worked with us to create a ToV guide that helped to reduce that by building capability among staff and encouraging all of our teams to create content that's easier to understand - at the same time simplifying our processes."


Fallon Williamson
Manager of Digital Design and Experience
Jobs Victoria
