Marketing and communications strategist

You be brilliant at your thing. I'll handle the marketing.

You know you should be visible, and the marketing keeps sliding to the bottom of the list. So let me take it off you and get your business showing up every week.

Most people selling you social media learnt it on social media.

I learnt it running national advertising, marketing and communication campaigns.

You got handed a second job you never applied for.

You're a specialist in what you do, and somewhere along the way you got asked to be a generalist as well. Marketer, social media strategist, designer, video editor.

So let me take the pressure off.

Ways to work with me

Do it yourself

Margo, the app

Done for you

Content strategically planned, written and scheduled for you each month across your chosen social media platforms.

The human behind it

Hi, I'm Jo.

Jo Schmid

I help brands tell their story. From national campaigns to start-ups with heart. As a marketing strategist with 20+ years across government, corporate and start-ups, I've led campaigns, built communities, and grown businesses from the ground up - before social media was a thing. I bring a mix of strategy, creativity and hands-on delivery - bringing the big-picture thinking of a Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) with the roll-up-your-sleeves energy of a founder.

Originally from Canberra, and recently moved to Vietnam with my young family. I've worked with over 1,000 business owners inside my start-up community, helping them simplify marketing and grow their businesses by removing what's keeping them stuck, scattered, or the bottleneck inside their own business.

Whether it's brand storytelling, corporate communications, campaign strategy or AI-powered marketing systems, I believe in clear messaging, strong systems, and marketing that's simple, smart and effective.
