In the Media

I have always wanted to be in the media industry. I started as a rookie writing advertorials for a publishing company in Australia then became a publisher and travel journalist myself, writing about cruise destinations and travel reports. I represented international publishers like Reader’s Digest, Fortune magazine, Asian Geographic and Travel Away handling emerging market sales and special project. After that stint, I set up a PR agency with a friend and picked up the trade. We were soon pitching stories to editors and producers. We produced live events, concerts and managed press conferences and junkets. I have also been featured in the media myself, speaking about the events and projects we produce. But it was when I started freelancing as a field producer and fixer for broadcast media that I found my calling.
