My mission is to help business' and brands realise their goals through marketing, acting as an extension of your team.
I'm passionate about digital marketing and comms, using insight-led marketing strategy to create relevant content that reaches the right customer at the right time with the right message!
Working with a team of the best freelancers in their field we cover the breadth of digital marketing from auditing to web management, branding, strategy, graphic design, email marketing and content creation.

After writing 1,000+ posts for clients (seriously), these are the 7 engagement strategies that truly work ↓

❌ Stop thinking the job of 'posting' finish when you hit the button.
✅ Start actively managing them AFTER they're live.

Yep, once upon a time even I used to hit 'post' and pray, thinking my job was done once the content went live.

That's where the real work begins.

The viral posts we've had this year? 
They all had one thing in common:
we were glued to the comments section, replying to every single person who engaged, resharing, and keeping the conversations going.

Content that converts:
👉 Has actionable takeaways people actually save
👉 Starts with a visual hook/ killer opening line
👉 Gets responses within the first 10 mins
👉 Provides value they can use immediately
👉 Sparks convos in the comments
👉 Makes people tag their pals
👉 Gets reshared to stories

The best-performing posts are conversation starters that we nurture into proper engagement goldmines.

Which is ultimately how you build a community that actually converts.

#hiring #paidsocial #performancemarketing

AppsFlyer invited me to the Fall Release last week, which meant:
#1 - I got to see Tobacco Dock in the daylight for the first time in my life
#2 - I ended up in a room with 150 app marketing leaders 
#3 - I’ve got a sweet new beanie, bumbag, and Gameboy
#4 - If I launch another app (not to toot my own horn but over 10 app-store listings have my fingerprints all over them) I’ll be giving Appsflyer a bell

They announced their shift from MMP to Modern Marketing Cloud and unveiled eight new products focused on measurement, AI automation, and data collaboration.

I’m deep in the attribution trenches daily.
The fight for ‘who’s the sale was’ might finally be over.

8 products.
1 goal.
= clarity

- Cleaner signals
- More automation
- Less manual faff
- Smarter decisions
- Fewer spreadsheets so gross they’d make accounts cry

If you work in apps, this is the stuff you’ll want to keep an eye on.
The product updates are all linked HERE: https://shorturl.at/2AuBr

I will only ever promote stuff I’d buy myself.
That’s after buying my house from Instagram.


Let me explain…
I don’t believe marketing should trick people.
I believe ads should help people find what they genuinely want or need.
My house purchase is Exhibit A.
(Right product, right message, right place).

How we operate-
We work with brands that add something useful to someone’s life
We promote products we know we can create fans for because it’s actually great
We partner with founders who are good humans

I’ve turned down or broken up with clients for:
Unethical manufacturing → no
Environmental damage → no
Abusive communication with my team → instant exit
Sweat shop glamorising slogans → not on my fitbit (soz actual watch wearers)


We work with creators who change lives
Systems that save people time
Brands that bring joy comfort convenience or confidence
It is a roster I am genuinely proud to stand behind


Good marketing only works when the product is something you’d happily put in your own basket and can talk about passionately.

Mapping out your January 2026 content and ads plans? Kick off with these 5 🔑 themes your audience will actually care about:

1. New Year Reset - but not cringe

Skip 'new year, new me'. Focus on:
- Practical productivity hacks that actually work
- Small habit changes, big impact
- Real stories
- BTS 2026 plans

2. Financial Fresh Start

Everyone's bare skint after Christmas, so give 'em value:
- Budget-friendly alternatives to your premium product/service
- Free resources/templates
- Adding extra value over cutting your margins
- Cost-saving tips in your industry

3. Skills & Learning

January's when people are motivated to finally upskill:
- Quick tutorial content
- Industry trend predictions
- Tool recommendations/reviews
- 'What I wish I knew when starting X' posts

4. Community Building

People are lonely after the holidays so gear up yer engagement:
- UGC, EGC, and CCG campaigns
- Q&a/AMA sessions and live chats
- Customer spotlights
- Team intros and personality posts

5. Seasonal Relevance

Work with January's natural energy:
- Dry Jan/Veganuary
- Winter wellness/industry tips 
- Planning and goal-setting frameworks
- Fresh start success stories

For ads:
1. Target the 'planning mindset' because people are researching solutions for the year ahead rather than December's impulse buying.
2. Focus big time on lead magnets, free trials, and educational content that builds trust with new connections before someone's ready to drop their cash.

Content-wise:
Batch create around these themes but keep it authentic. Your audience can smell manufactured motivation from miles away.

PRO TIP:
Start planning your Valentine's Day campaigns NOW so you're not ending up with a rubbish AI generated campaign, same as your other 50 competitors the week before.

January's mint because people actually want to engage with helpful content. 

Don't waste it on generic motivational quotes when you could be solving real problems and building PROPER audience connections.
Plus, it's just dead nice to be nice.

"I don’t know where to even flippin’ start Fiona!" 
YOU ARE NOT ALONE. 

We all get stuck on our socials sometimes.

I hear it weekly.
Usually from a founder who has spent three months posting carousels that take them an hour each, two weeks watching Reels about how to make Reels, and £89 on some random LinkedIn influencer's course.

Lucky for you, there is a much easier way to figure out exactly where your social strategy is falling apart, AND which part needs your attention first in 2026.

Takes less time than the kettle to boil.

ok but what happens when your ad spend ramps up just as everyone else hits pause for the holidays? (you're gunna need to save this one)

Here's how last December went ads-wise-
Record-breaking performance across the board.

Sure, some campaigns naturally slow down based on industry seasonality.
The real winners for 2026 are the brands doubling down right now.

Here's what we're seeing work pretty flipping well:

Lower Competition = Lower CPCs

When your competitors rein back their budgets (horse girl joke), your cost per click drops significantly.

→ Saw 30-40% cheaper clicks in some sectors
→ Higher impression share, same spend
→ Better ad placement opportunities on feed/stories

Algorithms reward consistency, and December's the month to capitalise on that.

Audience Attention = Peak

People are scrolling MORE during the xmas holidays, not less.

→ More time consuming content
→ Higher engagement rates across all platforms (except LinkedIn)
→ Decision-making happens faster with gift deadlines

We're tracking engagement rates 25% higher than November averages this week already.

Q1 Prep Starts Now

The brands smashing January targets started their campaigns before.

→ Lookalike audiences built from festive shoppers
→ Pixel data collection during high-traffic periods
→ Creative testing whilst competition is low

January's success stories are written in December's data. Make sure you're collecting it.

Budget Reallocation Opportunities

others pause, we redistribute.

→ Test new audiences with lower entry costs
→ Shift spend from underperformers to winners
→ Scale successful campaigns without budget caps

We've seen 60% better ROAS on reallocated budgets compared to standard periods.

2026 Head Start

Brands maintaining momentum through December position themselves as market leaders.

→ Brand awareness compounds without loadsa social noise
→ Market/feed share increases
→ Customer acquisition costs stay low

The data doesn't lie: 
December spenders become January winners.

Sure, some industries naturally slow down, and we adjust accordingly. But the brands treating December as preparation month rather than pause month?
They're the ones we'll be celebrating come February and will be sending us valentine's gift baskets.

Want a hand?
You know where to find us.

p.s. we're growing our paid social team, if you're a paid media and performance marketing leader, we wanna hear from ya.

Content Strategist and Writer for B2B SaaS and eCommerce Brands

I tell engaging brand stories that help SaaS companies turn casual users into die-hard fans. 

I can help to get sign-ups and conversions for your app with my knowledge of SEO, blogging, and SaaS writing.

I have been writing professionally since 1997 as a trained journalist but was drawn into freelance writing in 2016 by the flexibility it offers and the opportunity to learn new things.

Over time, I have had the opportunity to work with Highspot, Automate (acquired by Notion), ListenLoop (acquired by Integrate), CriticalMention, Hatchbuck (merged with Benchmark Email and rebranded as BenchmarkOne), MailRelay, Pinpointe, etc.

I currently work as Head of Content at Zoorix, an intuitive Shopify app for cross-sells and upsells.

And, this is what Ohad Schachtel, Zoorix CEO, says:

"Iyabo is a team player and highly professional. She is great to work with -- prompt, thorough, and dependable. She has an eye for detail and I've enjoyed working with her. She's an excellent freelance asset at Zoorix, an intuitive Shopify cross-selling app and I highly recommend her to any SaaS or eCommerce brand that is looking for a great content writer."

I also write at CopyVista.com in my spare time (although the blog is crying for updates 😊).

I'm a mother of 5, including a toddler, whom I jokingly call my Chief Distraction Officer (CDO).

I'm a stickler for picking life principles from the Bible.

I also run Haus of Wisdom, an online ministry committed to mentoring African youths.

I love the SaaS niche because I get to work with brands that are shaping the future of the world with technology.

I can help you achieve your content marketing goals effortlessly and escape from these pain points:

* Scratching your head to generate blog topics or ideas,

* Sitting for hours to write a piece that is packed with value and can represent your brand well,

* Worrying about the acceptability or otherwise of your writing,

* Keeping up with writing according to schedule (on a weekly or whatever basis),

* Marketing your writing to attract, convince, and convert leads,

* Struggling to deliver a writing project after being disappointed by a service provider.

All my life, I have been fascinated with this quote by former American first lady, Eleanor Roosevelt: "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." 

I'm entrepreneurial and believe anything can be achieved with determination and hard work.

I'm interested in exciting SEO writing opportunities that would lead to growth for clients and my humble self.
