Meet Miss Melly

Why hello there! Let me introduce myself!
I am Melissa, or Mel if you like. I have a soft spot for:
-
T2 tea (yes, even in summer – that’s why there’s a thing called iced tea!),
-
animals (I may or may not have multiple cats and a gorgeous black woofing beauty, Olivia),
-
am hugely passionate about life-long learning both for work and in my personal life,
-
and have an avid interest in holistic therapies (I share my experiences with a tribe of busy mums trying to keep it together through my own blog and Instagram pages).
I have spent a large portion of my life working in education (primary, tertiary, consultancy), with an almost-5-year "sabbatical" working in our family’s small business. It was there that I began my journey into social media management, and digital
marketing.
Given my love for holistic therapies, love of writing and life-long learning, it’s hardly surprising I developed my own blog and tribe online, where I get to refine my skills and learn the best hacks for social media management! I have my own casual, chatty style but am the eternal chameleon - I also write highly effective strongly-worded letters and submissions suitable for parliament and executives when required. I am continuously developing my copywriting skills through further study (and am also and online course junkie).
As you’ve probably already gathered, my specialties in the virtual world are social media management, digital marketing and writing (copy and content - blog). Working with you to develop strategy around your social media accounts, and digital marketing strategy is what I love most! My passion lies in giving your business the edge and staying in the online game! Writing (content or copy) for these or your blog or website, email marketing and online courses - that's another love affair I'm here for!

I’m here to look after those social media & digital marketing tasks that you would much rather blink and miss – so that you can get back to working IN your business, not ON it.
