Writing services - do you need a writer?
Hey whānau, I'm Mike. I’m a wordsmith and Digital Storyteller.
I have just been made redundant from my job with an Aussie software company and I'd love to help you with your writing/website/communications needs over summer for work.
So, I'm Whangarei-based and available to meet in person.
My expertise is in digital wordsmithery- so, how I could potentially be useful to you is:
· Writing articles good enough to get into reputable news publications
· Getting your business stories into the news (pitching stories)
· Communications (Public relations)
· Marketing emails, writing scripts for your videos, blogging, SEO and keywording
· Writing biography material, writing your family stories or capturing your personality in words
· Collecting testimonials from your customers (handling those awkward cringe phone calls with clients)
· Aaand publishing all of the above on your CMS / website/ mailouts / social media platforms.
I’m really looking for ongoing work where possible so that I can get deeply invested in your story.
Many thanks for letting me post and please flick me a message if you feel I could help you with some work.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
