Articles and Advertorials
Above is my most recently published article in Latitude magazine (Dec2023/Jan 2024) Oct/Nov 2023) on the sober curious trend towards non-alcoholic drink options. It follows a previous article (Oct/Nov) on local actor, improv artist and director Kathleen Burns.
This June article for local furniture manufacturers, Kovacs‘, celebrates what makes them so special.
Another recent example (Nov 2022) is this Gay Express advertorial.
Publications
Creating a programme required writing of articles, overseeing photo shoots, collating material, gathering all sign-offs, editing, proofing and arranging for print.
Other programmes I have produced are here, from Frankenstein to Next to Normal. The Rēwena/Be Like Billy? programme required me to proof te reo, which I do not speak, and ensure that the translations were accurately copied from Word to InDesign.
Media Releases
I have written many media releases for different organisations. Some were ‘just’ news, some were about good news and some were about bad news, including controversial topics.
This recent release is an example; short and in brief summaries are also prepared for use in other places e.g. event listings.
More examples are here (Oct 2021 – July 2023).
Project - Season 2023 Launch
Over three months in 2023 I project managed the launch of the Court Theatre’s 2023 season. This included creating the season brochure and signage (all of which stay in circulation for over 12 months), helping organise launch events, and planning and implementing a subscription campaign.
From April – July 2024 I completed the project plan and the content for the 2024 season brochure.
Annual Reports
Annual reports – not most people’s fave reading material, but still present an opportunity to get across your ‘why’ (as well as your ‘how’ and ‘what’). especially with a few article that speak to your values.
I write all text (in discussion with relevant people), ensuring everyone is acknowledged, statistics are correct and images represent the essence of your work.
Planning
During the last 20 years I have created many plans! Strategic Marketing and Comms plans; project specific communication plans (such as this snapshot for a multi-party project); event plans; media engagement and social media plans, and on (and on).
