I couldn’t have asked for a better leader to collaborative with. It’s overwhelming and daunting to organize an event, yet not once did I feel out of control working with Ellie. She communicated clearly, set realistic goals and made all the details easily digestible. She’s set a new standard for communication and organization, and I can’t help but feel inspired.

Without a doubt, Ellie is solely responsible for the success of my EP Launch party. She worked tirelessly, listened to and offered feedback with quick turnarounds. Ellie is both professional and kind, ensuring that my voice was heard and the goals I had in mind could manifest into something real. Ellie is an exceptionally talented individual with a strong track record and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

It was a blessing when I connected with Ellie! What immediately stood out for me was her genuine willingness to help me in the realm of social media. Ellie was organised and had a plan. She made things very easy from the get go and really understood my brand and my messaging. It’s been an absolute pleasure to have Ellie be a part of my story and I am ever so grateful for her efforts and work in supporting my brand.

I’ve worked alongside Ellie for nearly a decade across music and creative projects, and her impact has been nothing short of crucial. From copywriting, social media, marketing and branding to strategic guidance on projects like Zeal, LONER/Loner_Online and many other creative brands and artists I’ve supported, Ellie has consistently helped turn ideas into real momentum.

She’s someone I trust completely and not just for execution but for insights and knowledge. Her ability to think outside the box, problem solve creatively and step in exactly where needed makes her invaluable in any industry. I’ll always recommend Ellie to anyone serious about building something meaningful.
— James (Zeal, Loner Online)
Ellie proves time and time again to be one of the most dependable, creative and reliable aspects to the Outcry brand. On countless occasions, Ellie will go above and beyond to deliver press kits and packages tailored and fine tuned exactly to how I need it, adding just that extra layer of professionalism without sacrificing brand vision, which is always so needed in this industry and is what sets her apart from her peers. Ellie’s natural marketing talents make her a must have asset on any team looking to push their music to the next level and is such a joy to work with along that journey, can’t recommend her enough.
— Jackson (Outcry)
Ellie has been an absolute god-send! She came in and took the reigns of Ovira’s messy social media account and grew it into a beautiful on-brand masterpiece.

She is super creative, meticulous, fast and an absolute delight to deal with. People like Ellie are very hard to find, I would highly recommend her to anyone in any industry.
— Alice (Ovira)
Ellie was a fantastic help with my social media efforts, she took my directionless pages and helped me establish some clear and achievable goals/aims for them and helped me to better cater to my audience. She worked with me to setup on-brand content/theming for my page that boosted engagement and helped me feel confident to put my pages forward as a professional portfolio. Cannot recommend enough!
— Blaise (DancyDance)
Having Ellie help me out in my biz and doing the things I find mundane and draining has been the biggest game changer. Ellie is an absolute dream! She is easy to work with and does an incredible job. She takes initiative, responds promptly, and gets the tasks done quickly. She has a broad skill set, but most of all, she is an incredible writer. I couldn’t recommend Ellie more - she truly is amazing!
— Lina (The Love Theory)

about

I started my career 10 years ago as a model booker, talent manager for bloggers, and in artist relations for musicians, and then quickly found myself in the broader marketing and comms space. My work ended up leaning heavily into social media, digital strategy and content creation, and I grew my skills working freelance for small businesses like For Film’s Sake, startups in the tech industry like Ovira, and femme empowerment-focused public figures and coaches. 

Today, I work full-time as a Content Design Specialist for Australia’s biggest telco, and freelance as a copywriter for local agencies and medium businesses.

Babie Club is my pioneer project; an alternative online community and IRL underground party series in Melbourne/Naarm. Focusing on internet subcultures and niches in gaming, music and art, Babie Club is a home for all the weebs and weirdos.

Through running Babie Club, working with Loner Online over two years, growing a Twitch community, developing Emptycore and doing 1:1 PR work with local videographers, A/V techs, designers, producers, artists and more, I’m excited to share my knowledge and help uplift fellow creatives with everything I’ve learned along the way.

Driven by a desire to platform and support young artists and professionals in their work, I’m excited to offer a more formalised approach to assisting Australian brands and creatives as Illicit Empress ♡
