BUILD-IT PORTFOLIO
The below articles are examples of my work produced while working as the Editor of Build-It. This portfolio highlights a mix of industry news, sponsored articles, product explainers, technical writing, interviews and SEO content written for a construction and home renovation audience. Both my organic and sponsored articles consistently outperformed the content team average which can be visible at the bottom of the previous page. Under my leadership as editor, Build-it grew to become a recognisable brand within the construction space and one of the leading 'tradie' content websites in Australia.
