About Sophia

I'm a highly experienced content, SEO and digital specialist, with a 20-year background in publishing and digital marketing.

I understand brands, I get audiences – and I love connecting the two with useful, top-quality content.

Content that will reach the user wherever they are: search engines, social media, forums, reading newsletters...

Content that will educate, answer their questions, pique their interest, turn them into loyal clients – even advocates for your brand.

I also help you analyse your website to ensure the tech is healthy, the pages are optimised, and the layout is user-friendly so people stay on your site for longer (and come back with friends).

-> The business blurb:
Your business is unique. I create a bespoke digital marketing solution based on your business needs to help grow your business's organic audience and, ultimately, leads and sales.

So how do I do that?

  • I build successful content strategies, which could include content audits, content calendars and content plans.

  • Content management: blog creation, landing page copy, social media and newsletters, and building content teams where needed.
  • SEO strategies: detailed technical SEO audits and fixes, keyword and gap analysis, on-page optimisation and backlink analysis.

  • Web: I advise on site architecture, site migrations, navigation and footer menus, layouts and more. I work with developers/product teams and within a CMS to make technical and copy changes, if needed.

My strategies are strongly data-led, with a strong dose of gut feel and user insights based on years of experience.

I have a further aim: to help empower and upskill teams, using clear language and knowledge-sharing so they can make excellent, informed decisions in the long run.

My experience includes digital news sites, education hubs, corporate websites, and e-commerce sites.

I have won 3 awards for the websites I've managed and have racked up excellent results.
