My name is Anastasia and I am the Indie Communicator. I work with small businesses in the third sector to help them communicate in an integrated and ethical way.
My mission
I’ve been immersed in the world of communication since 2014, where I’ve learned the ins and outs of managing social media accounts, developing brands, crafting content strategies, and delivering successful newsletter campaigns. But my passion doesn’t stop there.
In addition to my role as an independent consultant, I also dedicate part of my time to a fulfilling position in a third-sector organisation. It’s a rewarding and challenging role that keeps me grounded in the real-world needs of businesses like yours.
What makes me unique? Well, I’m not just a communications expert; I’m also an enthusiast of graphic design, illustration, and videography. These creative content creation skills allow me to see things from a different, more imaginative perspective.
So, whether it’s harnessing the power of ethical communication or unleashing creative content strategies, I’m here to guide you toward success. Let’s bring your passion and purpose to life, making your business thrive. Doing what you love is hard work. Communicating it shouldn’t be!
