I have written hundreds of articles for websites. My focus is on generating original, creative material with fresh angles whilst ensuring maximum keyword exposure. I enjoy the research aspect of the work as much as the writing.
I am a South African born English speaker. I have written, produced and directed a number of documentary and adventure-documentary films about aspects of Africa for both our local and the international markets. I have also written and produced numerous actuality and news features around the continent, again for both the local and international markets. Further, I have a long history in radio, having ended a stint as presenter and producer of a news-based breakfast show on a national talk radio station. I have also worked as a DJ on music radio and partook, as a part of a core management team, in the conversion of a regional music radio station from adult contemporary to oldies format.
I have been working actively in the corporate and marketing fields for almost twenty years. My experience here is diverse, ranging from the design and implementation of corporate communication strategies and teambuilding concepts, to designing and generating interactive intra and inter-corporate communication projects. I have worked regularly in advertising and marketing, again as both writer and producer of above the line and below the line material for print, radio, television and the web.
The media world I come from is, as everywhere else, fast, unforgiving and deadline driven. Thus, my first aim is always to deliver well; that is, accurately, creatively and on time.
I am currently on sabbatical to complete a novel and need to supplement my income. (Poverty sucks!) The exchange rate of our rand against the dollar, pound and Euro is favourable, so I can be flexible as far as price structure is concerned. I aim to spend another eighteen months or so on this quest for literary fame and fortune and would be most interested in creating long-term associations with companies and individuals during this time. And, as always, to broaden experience.
