Although REVEL is predominantly a wine and food-focused events company, responsible for Pinot Palooza, Game of Rhones, Gauchito Gil's Malbec Day and more, I was instrumental in building the media side of the business over the two years of my employment. This included creating interactive guides to Gippsland, the Mornington Peninsula and other wine regions, as well as social media and other content. In 2018, I oversaw the creation of and contributed the majority to the inaugural Pinot Palooza magazine which was nominated for Wine Publication of the Year at the Wine Communicators of Australia awards. In 2018, REVEL was also awarded Digital Wine Communicator of the Year.

Between late 2015 and late 2016 I was the World Class Editor on Broadsheet's commercial team. Responsibilities in this role included writing, planning, commissioning and editing a number of cocktail and other World Class (Diageo) focused articles and stories that were to be published on Broadsheet. I continued to manage the @worldclassdrinking Instagram account until July 2018, growing it to 30,000 followers in that time. I also continue to write for Broadsheet in a freelance capacity.

This role was a short-term contract position designed to assist the permanent team in the lead-up to the festival. Responsibilities included managing the @melbfoodandwine Instagram account, content creation, copywriting, website management and event marketing including eDMs. I was provided with a unique opportunity to be involved with and help execute one of the world's best food festivals during a particularly special year, as it coincided with the World's 50 Best Restaurants awards.

I came on board to help set up the TMix+ Thermomix magazine at Slattery Media. This monthly publication is not produced by or in affiliation with Thermomix, but is designed to benefit its users by providing recipes and other tips and tricks to help them get the best out of their Thermomix. It's also relevant to non-Thermomix users, packed with beautiful articles on food in general. For more, see https://www.tmixplus.com/.
