Hi, I'm Amanda.

I'm a writer, editor, and strategist with 15+ years of experience working across tech, agencies, media, interiors brands, and the public sector.

Working across brand and content, I help organisations show up in a way that people can find, trust, and act on. Working fractionally, I shape strategy and align teams to create content that converts.

As a journalist, you’ll find my byline in publications like the Sunday Times Ireland and IMAGE Interiors. I edited the latter from 2016 to 2020.

What I do
-
Ideate, then write or brief editorial and sponsored content
- Edit content
- Brief photographers and illustrators
- Commission and produce magazines
- SEO and AI discoverability strategies
- Position and reposition brands
- Develop and audit content strategies
- Optimise content for conversion
- Oversee cross-disciplinary workstreams
- Manage stakeholder engagement
- Develop tone of voice

I've worked inside fast-moving SaaS companies, across editorial media and commercial brands, and within large-scale public sector campaigns.

I'm happy at both strategic and execution levels. I work out what needs to happen, then make it happen.

Get in touch
I am currently accepting editorial commissions and have limited capacity for editing, branding, and content projects.
