Louise Gorrie

Online marketing expert

North Bondi, NSW | www.blackmaxmedia.com.au

Louise Gorrie is an online marketing expert, using her experience from her previous life as corporate communications manager to benefit small to medium businesses.

Her business, BlackMax Media, tailors online solutions to client's needs and their market. She defines and plans not only the structure and focus of their website, but additional goodies such as online marketing tactics such as email newsletters, optimisation or online advertising campaigns.

Before her partner began working from home, she was becoming rather fluent in "cat" thanks to Mr Bigglesworth and Charlie Tunafish.
