Psychedelic Stretch Tents & Events

Nov 2007 - Oct 2010 (2 years, 11 months)

I launched a stretch tent hiring company with my son. In addition to all the administration it was up to me to attract as much business and attention as possible. I did this through superb communications with Clients as well as press releases to the local media. I wrote all the copy for our marketing material and website. Our funding was dependent on my ability to sell the product and write convincing business plans. Our business went from strength to strength.

Jan 1998 - Feb 2005 (7 years, 1 month)

I wrote all the Mayor's speeches and communications. I wrote all the press releases for the Municipality. I was editor of a number of newsletters designed to inform the ratepayers and motivate the staff. I designed a number of competitions and awards to inspire employees to work effectively and tax payers to pay their bills promptly.
