Since then, Tash has worked with our team on a number of large funding applications, as well as various content development projects. In addition to this, Tash writes the DSNSW Tourism Industry E-Newsletter, which is distributed monthly to over 1300 stakeholders across eight Local Government Areas, network wide.
Tash is efficient and focused, often adapting her schedule to ensure project objectives are achieved on time. Tash is responsive to feedback, with a clear and professional communication style that guarantees project objectives are understood and delivered to a high standard.

‘We approached Tash at Contended Creator to assist us with writing content for our 2021 Yass Valley Destination Guide. Through our experience, we found Tash was professional at all times but also had a personal approach which made workshopping efficient and enjoyable. Tash had a great understanding of the feel and context of our objectives for how our Guide would be written. She took the time to produce real like experiences within the content as well as reflect on the regions history, heroes and hidden gems. We are very pleased will how the guide has come together especially with the way in which the content was published.’

‘The DNCO management team recently contracted The Contented Creator for some assistance with a funding application. The original scope of work soon evolved into a more involved one once we started working with Tash , because she quickly demonstrated a clear understanding of our objectives. She’s efficient, responsive, diligent and organised. She kept us focused on the project outcomes, ensured we met strict deadlines and was great company along the way. We thoroughly endorse her skills and would happily re-engage her services’.

‘Tash saved me! I was in a bit of a pickle as I had taken a tough decision to move away from my existing marketing company. This left some gaps in what I needed to achieve for my business. Tash not only filled those holes but plugged them tight and then worked above and beyond to ensure that I was in better condition than I was. From content writing and creation to targeted social media advertising Tash not only delivered for my business, she delivered for me personally and made me very comfortable that I had made the right decision. Thanks so much Tash and I look forward to continuing to work together towards our business goals’.

D’Amico’s Italian Restaurant Corowa
‘In hospitality life gets busy!! Between managing staff, ordering and then guests time is precious! I knew I needed help in trying to get my Instagram and Facebook pages more active and wasn’t sure what to do, yes you need content but it was all too HARD!!! I called the beautiful Natasha and she came to our restaurant over 2 nights, photographed the food, staff, cocktails and anything else she thought would make great content and started our journey, teaching me what I needed to do (once she was gone) which was awesome. She gave me the confidence to get things done professionally and it’s working! Many compliments later and increased turnover (even after shutting one extra day a week) is true testament to HOW IMPORTANT GETTING SOCIAL MEDIA RIGHT IS!!! If like me you have a successful business but want to keep your content fresh and up to date…this is your girl. Over 6230 post reacts 430% increase , 5320 post engagements 533% increase , 46 new post likes (increase by 230%). A great return on your investment!’
