bright content that connects.

does it sometimes feel like you’re stuck on mute?

You’re showing up online. You have good news to share. But no-one seems to hear what you have to say.

Creating a profile and content that connects with your community requires more than just hitting publish and crossing your fingers… with 20 years experience working in journalism, communications, marketing and politics, I can help you and your ideas be heard.

so who am I?

Hey, I’m Kate Wilson.

And I want to make it easier for good people to share great ideas with their community.

what does that mean?

I can help you get set up and sharing bright content that connects with your community, by:

  • building you a website;

  • setting up an effective email list;

  • developing social media strategies;

  • creating content like reels, graphics, carousels and articles;

  • and providing valuable resources such as templates and step-by-step guides.

you can do all that?

Yup! And I’ve been doing this professionally for years, working with politicians, not-for-profits, industry groups, academics, government entities, councils and small businesses.

Kate did a fantastic job bringing our site back to life and we’ve seen increased traffic as a result.
