Kia ora,

I'm Sophia.

A communications and marketing consultant with more than a decade of experience delivering compelling and meaningful mahi that keeps people and their wellbeing at its heart.

Get in touch

Communications and

marketing with purpose.

I specialise in designing and managing impactful projects and campaigns, crisis management and social media.

Project Management

If you have a comms/marketing project in need of management, I’d love to help. I thrive on deadlines, challenges and thorny deliverables.

How I can help

Comms planning & strategy

Communications plans and strategies are often overly complicated, but they shouldn’t be. Let's create one that's comprehensive but brief, easily understood by everyone involved and adaptable to the needs of your audience and your work.

How I can help

Campaign design, development & delivery

I specialise in marketing campaigns for social good (otherwise known as social marketing, behaviour change marketing or values-based marketing) and have led the design, development and delivery of nationwide campaigns to support people in times of crisis, to help reduce bullying and to uplift wellbeing.

How I can help

Copywriting

Your work matters – let’s find a way to write about it so other people know what you’re doing, why you’re doing it and how they can get involved.

How I can help

Resource development

From websites to brochures, I bring ideas to life, collaborating with experts in design and production to deliver brilliant final products.

How I can help

Media, PR and crisis comms

I’ve spent my career building strong relationships with media in New Zealand. Crisis communications are my strength – I’m great at putting out fires, building relationships and sorting through complex, challenging and dynamic problems to find a way through.

How I can help

Social media

I understand new platforms, changing algorithms and shifts in user behaviour, and can help you find your place and voice among them.

How I can help

Let's work together

on the mahi that matters.

I've led national marcomms responses to natural disasters, the Covid-19 pandemic and suicide contagions. Over the course of my career, I have developed, led and overseen national campaigns like Mental Health Awareness Week, Pink Shirt Day and All Sorts.

While I can work on just about anything, I’ve been lucky to spend my career building up a depth of knowledge and expertise in mental health, wellbeing and suicide prevention. Within my field, I have particular expertise in:

Suicide prevention/postvention
Positive mental health & wellbeing
Behaviour change marketing/values-based marketing and campaigns
Position and key message development
Insight analysis
Disaster response
Social media (particularly as it relates to suicide prevention/ postvention and mental health and wellbeing)
Relationship building/management
Audience engagement/targeting
Resource development
Crisis management
Workplace wellbeing

Campaign design, development & delivery

I can help you identify your goals, build your campaigns, pull together teams, briefs and pitches and execute multi-channel campaigns that reach target audiences effectively and repeatedly, on time and on budget. I can also support you with post-campaign wrap-up and analysis.

Get in touch

Communication planning & strategy

I can help you develop (and execute) a comms plan that identifies, engages and targets your audience(s) and your goals; one that makes it easy for you and everyone else you’re working with to understand your timelines, channels, key messages and measures of success. I can also help you to develop those key messages, along with positions, statements and other messaging you need to ensure your comms plan achieves your goals.

Get in touch

Copywriting

I can create copy that reaches your audience in a way that connects with them, shifts perspective, delivers your key messages and helps others understand what it is you do and how you do it. I’m experienced in translating complex concepts and ideas into text that everyone can read and understand, and I have a solid understanding of health and general literacy. I know how to ensure important messages are delivered in a compelling and authentic manner and how to create copy that’s right for your needs.

Get in touch

Resource development

I can help you develop websites, brochures, videos and posters, (alongside specialist producers, videographers, designers and other experts in their fields). I can manage the project, do the research, chat to experts, write the copy, conduct interviews, gather feedback, make the edits and create a promotion plan. Together we can take a resource from a great ideal to a beautiful final product.

Get in touch

Media/PR strategy/crisis comms

I can work with the media on your behalf, provide media training to your spokespeople and support you with media releases, key message development and statements. If you’re facing a PR or other crisis that requires a comms response, together we can find an approach that works best for your organisation, your people and your audience.

Get in touch

Project Management

I can help you manage stakeholders, juggle priorities and smooth tensions. We can build a cohesive plan and timeline that works for you, the project and the people you’re working with. With strong communication, clear goals and a steely grip on the project’s scope, I can work with you to deliver a project that meets your aims without anyone (or anything) falling over.
