My Areas of expertise

Purpose-driven content

As a journalistically trained social media manager, I strive to create content that serves a purpose: to educate, inform or entertain. It is second nature for me to be asking:

WHAT? WHY? WHO? WHEN? WHO? and HOW?

when I am writing, editing or designing content. The result = clear, concise & impactful content.

Gen Z & Millenial audience development

Because the chronically online young people of today, are also the consumers and paying customers of tomorrow. Let’s get them on board and invested in your brand early.

Agile Project Management

SCRUM! Kanban! Stand-up meetings! Design thinking! Product Owner! Yep, I am fully Agile and have experience as a product owner and Scrum Master.

Hack-The-Press

As part of a specialised Agile course, my scrum team and I had to ideate, design and test a working solution for how to get Media24 staff AI-ready. We developed a ready-to-launch hackathon event catered to the editorial staff. Combining fun, competition and education.
