Scottish Tech Army

> Celebrating tech for good

I lead marketing and comms for The Scottish Tech Army. I'm responsible for the organization's online presence. Mostly I ensure we highlight and celebrate the good work our volunteers do and the impact they deliver for our charities and the communities they serve. I plan and create all of our branded assets myself.

TestGorilla

> Establishing an authority on all things HR and hiring

I led TestGorilla's top-funnel content strategy for a while. I developed and maintained their brand voice, research and write long-form reports and SEO blogs, and have ghotwritten content for exects that's been published on platforms like EU startups and World Economic Forum. Check out some of my work using the links below.

Newsletters

> Building and engaging a community of loyal readers

I started two newsletters from scratch for TestGorilla – "Cut the BS" (now at 20k subs on LinkedIn) and "The Banana Split" (now at 25k subs on email).
