I help you reach more people with simple, effective marketing.
What I do
I keep your marketing running smoothly in the background, so you've always got something to email, post, or show to your customers.
I write articles, build and update websites, and help you develop visual assets like brochures and case studies. I also coordinate trade shows, look after social media, and help with other things too, but content marketing is my happy place.
What I bring to your business
- Common sense: I avoid fads and take a simple, calm, and consistent approach
- Cost savings: Get a skilled marketer at a fraction of the cost of a full time employee
- Efficiency: I work remotely with almost zero overheads, so I can get things done quickly and efficiently without excess cost
- Expertise: I specialise in working with industrial, manufacturing and construction businesses – the kind of industries I’ve been in for decades.
About me
I’m an enthusiastic untangler of problems and once had a client call me a ‘light-shiner’.
I love to learn, to get to the bottom of things, and to work out how things tick – including people.
I have no formal qualifications and I’ve been working full-time since I was 15. This has given me a tough-as-nails work ethic and no fear of mucking in and getting things done. I’ve even cleaned hearing aids for a living (zero stars, would not recommend).
When I started Chameleon Marketing I thought I wanted to run an agency – but quickly realised I hated it because I wanted to handle all the work myself.
So here we are. After four years in business, I’m perfectly content being a freelance marketer, and my clients reap the benefits of working directly with someone who truly cares about their business.
I live in Sydney at the base of the Blue Mountains with my husband, two sulky emo teenagers, and a menagerie of pets.
When I’m not working I’m either running stupidly long distances, falling off my mountain bike, or engrossed in a good book.

Are we a good fit?
We're a good fit if...
- You're in the industrial, manufacturing or construction sector
- You sell a complex product to engineers, contractors, architects or tradies
- You're actively looking for advice and open to new ideas
- You have a CEO (or you are a CEO) who sets the high-level direction for your business, and then trusts an expert to get on with the details
- You're looking for a good person that won't baffle you with marketing jargon or take ages to get things done
- You want to get momentum around your content marketing and like to keep things moving through the pipeline quickly
- And... you're a nice human and you pay your bills on time 😉
We might not be a great fit if…
- You don’t like to plan ahead and prefer to ‘just wing it’
- You don’t have clearly defined goals and aren’t interested in making any
- You’re not interested in getting your team on board with promoting or distributing your content
- You want quick and dirty ‘hacks’ and the cheapest deal in town
- You like to micromanage (this slows down the process dramatically and makes it hard to get into a good working rhythm)
If I can't do it, I know someone who can.
I have a strong network of independent creative people. Want an intro to these talented folks, or need a specific skillset? Just ask!
