As Managing Director of We Are Explorers I’m responsible for financial and audience growth within the business. Without healthy revenue and engaged readers there’s no company and I’m excited to lead us to success in both of these areas so that we can pursue further environmental and social impact as a B Corp.I’ll still be very involved in the publishing side of the business, advising and developing strategy with Editor Amy Fairall, and getting my hands dirty (proofreading and uploading) as needed.

As the Publisher of We Are Explorers I'm responsible for all of the content-driven aspects of the platform, from audience touch points and growth, to the user experience, revenue models, and of course, the content itself.This new role reflects my growing experience in digital publishing, which has helped We Are Explorers continue to grow through a challenging period. Site users are up 44% on pre-pandemic levels (Dec '19 / Dec' '22) and rising.At its core, We Are Explorers is about getting as many people as possible outside so they can experience the beauty and power of the natural world. We know that proper time in nature is essential to a healthy, balanced life, one that breeds compassion and inspires environmental protection.Through informed content and clever, agile use of digital media, and a team that truly cares about the mission, I intend to keep We Are Explorers at the forefront of adventure and travel publishing in Australia and beyond

I'm responsible for the production and curation of content across the We Are Explorers website. To excel in this role I have to be constantly across all aspects of the outdoor industry, from gear to locations, new techniques to new personalities. From an editorial side, I seek out top contributors to encourage collaboration and contributions that fill gaps in our content. I also produce feature content for the site, ranging from thought pieces and trip reports, to how to's and guides. These are intended to be SEO optimised "hero pieces" that raise the profile of the website and steer its direction.My work also extends to the Explorer Studios; a creative engine that produces sponsored content for We Are Explorers as well as specific branded outdoor focused content.

I produce a range of SEO optimised content for We Are Explorers to complement the contributions from the greater outdoor community involved with the site. I've written in many formats including trip reports, guides, interviews, lists, how to's and prose. My work often utilises the sponsored, organic inclusion of products or services and seeks to make a great return on these investments with keywords, titles and a fun, easy-going style that encourages high CTRs and a low bounce rate.
