YOU’VE GOT A BUSINESS THAT DOES THINGS DIFFERENTLY.

Let’s get it noticed for all the right reasons.

When it comes to marketing your business, nothing you see or hear online feels like a fit for your brand — yet.

You’re not here for shady tactics, pushy copy or cookie-cutter content. And you don’t want to team up with agencies that don’t get what you do.

  • Instead, you want your online presence to feel like you (on a good hair day, of course).

  • You want to feel empowered and excited by your marketing (and you want your prospects to feel that way too).

  • And you want to use genuine customer insight instead of untoward tactics to attract and convert the right kind of people.

That’s what I’m here for —
To help you build a digital presence you can see yourself in …

So you can raise your prices, fall in love with your business and score the kind of clients you started this for.

Copywriting & content

Deeply compelling words wherever you need them – websites, emails, landing pages, ads and more. You see a blank page, I see a bright and shiny future for your business.

Howdy friends, I’m Julia

I’m a nature-loving, word wizard who loves nothing more than a blank page and a whole lot of research into who your customers are, what they're thinking about, and why they choose you above your competitors.

I’ve seen how content can help a marketing project thrive or fail.
And I’ve learnt that getting to know your prospect’s stories – the ones they tell themselves, the ones that keep them up at night, the ones that make their hearts sing – is what makes all the difference.

So sure, I’m armed with a Bachelor of Communications, a Bachelor of Journalism and years working in diverse communication roles for large organisations like State and Local Government.

But more importantly, I’m a storyteller.
And I’m ready to tell yours.

I’ve worked with 40+ incredible organisations such as:

BIG LOVE FROM GREAT PEOPLE

Testimonial image of Kirsty Fanton.

I’M SO VERY HAPPY!!! I hearted 42 images immediately, which is amazing! You did such an epic job of capturing the vibe and feel I was after, I can already see how these images will support my USP. My main concern was being an awkward potato for the full shoot, and getting zero good images because of it, but your prep doc helped IMMENSELY - not just because I could see you had a genuine game plan for our shoot - but also because it made it very clear that you'd be operating in your zone of genius. All I had to do was show up. I've done one other shoot before (years ago!), and while it was a decent shoot, the photographer didn't help me feel anywhere near as prepared or relaxed as you did. She didn't go to the same lengths as you to understand my vision or to step in and take control when I was at a bit of a loose end. Because of these things, I have WAY MORE photos I'm excited to use after shooting with you than I did after shooting with her. BETTER than expected! Better because I felt more relaxed, more quickly than I expected; better because you took control in the best (gentlest, but still "I've got this") way; better because I could sense how many shots we were getting; and better because of the ridiculously fast turn around from shoot to pics! — KIRSTY FANTON
