Cynthia is a Melbourne-based copywriter and online communications consultant at Akkos Digital. She has more than 10 years experience in marketing and communications. You’ll find her contributions in Flying Solo, The Mission, The Startup, Better Marketing, and The Writing Cooperative. She interlaces topics such as writing and startups, to traveling and food.
Her heart races wildly when she thinks up new and better ways to help clients – and their customers. Like creating more persuasive sales emails that convert. More personable blogs. Service pages that get found – and get you leads.
When she’s not at her desk, you’ll find Cynthia rock climbing, hunting for farmer’s markets with hubby, or doing downward dogs, goats, and rabbits with her young daughter.
It’s a bonus – and an incredible privilege – to be paid for doing what makes her soul smile.
