Hi, I'm Gordon

Investment writer and wealth content producer

About me

I'm an investment writer and product marketer delivering actionable insights that drive engagement and support distribution.

Previously I was a consultant in the ICT sector working with development agencies and mobile operators on best-practice regulatory frameworks. I was also an adviser and media manager for Australian federal members of parliament.

I'm interested in how digital markets and financial services converge to create better outcomes for investors.

How I can help

Investment research

I’m an accomplished researcher with experience writing across various asset classes, investment strategies, and macro-economic themes with an Australian flavour.

Content strategy

I establish a program of content that leverages your proprietary research, draws on the expertise of your investment team and speaks directly to the needs of your clients.

Media and PR

I build relationships with journalists, pitch content ideas and establish your firm as a thought leader through the release of regular insights.

Lead generation

I create compelling engagement streams that respond to current market developments, track users’ interactions and send warm leads to your sales team.

Product marketing

My deep knowledge of the investment product market enables me to take a data-driven approach to marketing and establish your competitive edge.

Web development

Designing and developing websites (like this one) is great fun and I’m learning how financial services businesses can use front-end engagement tools to create powerful user experiences.
