About

Thanks for visiting Digital Democracy.

After 20 years working across many marketing disciplines including digital pr, market research and communications I started Digital Democracy  the bridge between market research and social media.

Digital Democracy assists companies who want to make the most out of their consumer engagement strategies. We  understand that engaging with consumers is more than just a marketing/pr strategy but an opportunity for the entire business.  We call it Social Media without the Spin. Read my blog post about this subject.

BIO

With over 20 years in the marketing, communications and research field I combine experience with my Bachelor of Applied Science (Information) from University of Technology, Sydney.

After working as Digital Director at The Digital Edge in Sydney I recently opened up my own digital consultancy.  Previous to that I was appointed Online Research Manager for Network PR, a digital communications company where I was responsible for developing the methodology behind the digital pr division and devising social media strategies.

I have also held positions such as Research Manager with News Ltd and Research Manager with CARMA International, a qualitative research company.

I have developed  Social Media strategies with lifestyle companies such as Paramount Pictures, Tourabout and Kirrihill Wines and have developed and managed  Online Research Communities for Kelloggs, Sara Lee, Weight Watchers, CBA, Kimberley-Clark and others.
