Work

Digital marketing that brings people in. Automation that follows up.

I'm Shiela, a digital marketing specialist who also builds the systems behind it. Content, social, video, websites and SEO get attention; Make.com and CRM automations turn that attention into leads and clients.

Honest labels.Every project is tagged as client work, running in my own business, a demo or a template. Client names are kept private, so you know exactly what you're looking at.

Marketing work and automation builds

Accounting firm • Brisbane, AustraliaClient work

Social media & content for an accounting firm

A full, on-brand content feed that turns tax deadlines and finance tips into posts small-business owners actually stop for.

Content strategy, SEO & social
Content strategyCanva designSocial mediaSEO
How it works
Challenge
The firm needed a consistent, professional presence that explained tax and finance topics in plain language, without the team writing posts themselves.
What I built
A content calendar built around key dates in the Australian financial year (EOFY, super contributions, tax deadlines), with branded Canva templates, captions and supporting SEO content.
Result
A recognisable, consistent feed with timely, useful posts every month.

“You make my stickers videos look so much cuter”
Shopify designVideo editingTikTok & ReelsSocial media
How it works

A polished store ready for social traffic, and videos the owner was genuinely happy to post.

5 connected scenarios, live 24/7
TallyGoogle SheetsWait 90sGoogle CalendarGemini AIGmail
How it works
Challenge
Booking a call meant copying details from the form, finding the Calendly event, writing a confirmation and remembering reminders.
What I built
Instant intake and an AI-written confirmation, an hourly safety net for bookings the first step missed, a 7 AM same-day reminder, a 1-hour reminder and a no-show rebooking email.
Result
Every lead is logged, confirmed and reminded automatically, with a confirmation that references what they asked for.

Make.com scenario routing content from Notion to LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram
Marketing • Social mediaRunning in my business

AI social publishing pipeline

Content is planned in Notion and Airtable, drafted by Gemini, approved by me, then published to LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram.

3 platforms from one approval
Make.comGemini AINotion & AirtableMeta & LinkedIn APIs
How it works
Challenge
Posting consistently across three platforms took hours of writing, formatting and copy-pasting each week.
What I built
A content board feeds Gemini for platform-specific drafts. An approval step keeps a human in the loop, a router publishes to each platform and the board is updated automatically.
Result
Consistent posting across three channels, with every post still reviewed first.
Finance • Cash flowRunning in my business

Overdue invoice chaser

Late invoices get a friendly day-1 nudge, a day-7 follow-up and a day-14 final notice, without the awkward chasing.

3-stage escalation, daily at 9 AM
Daily 9 AMGoogle SheetsRouterGmailGoogle Sheets
How it works
Challenge
Chasing late payments was uncomfortable and easy to put off.
What I built
A daily check of the invoice tracker works out how overdue each invoice is and sends the right email for that stage. Each stage is recorded, so no one gets the same reminder twice.
Result
Every unpaid invoice is followed up on schedule, politely, with a payment link.
Own brand • WordPressRunning in my business

How it works

What I built
A full redesign with clear positioning, structured data, FAQ markup, rebuilt blog posts, a two-currency store and forms connected to email automation.
Result
A faster, clearer site built to rank in search and be cited by AI tools.

Multi-location businessProspect demo

Multi-branch content & broadcast system

Head office creates on-brand content once, and every branch receives it, with follow-ups when a branch doesn't act.

4 scenarios across HQ and branches
AirtableGemini AIPlacidGmailAirtable
How it works
Challenge
A prospective multi-branch client needed consistent branding and announcements across locations without chasing managers.
What I built
AI-drafted content with auto-generated graphics (Placid), approval and publishing, a broadcast to every branch, and automatic follow-ups and escalation.
Result
Built as a demo for a prospective client: a working system that keeps every location on brand and on time.
CRM • Lead routingDemo

Form-to-HubSpot lead routing

New leads are sorted, created in HubSpot and added to the right Brevo sequence the moment they submit a form.

HubSpot + Brevo kept in sync
TallyRouterHubSpotBrevo
How it works
Challenge
Leads had to be entered into the CRM and email tool by hand, so follow-up was slow.
What I built
Form answers decide the route: the contact is created or updated in HubSpot and added to the matching Brevo list and sequence.
Result
A working demo of how every lead can reach the CRM and the right nurture sequence automatically.
Client onboardingTemplate

Result
Polished onboarding in minutes, now available as a template.

Linda D. · CEO, e-commerce sticker brand
Message from Linda: I don't know how you do it Shiela but you make my stickers videos look so much cuter
How I work

Marketing and systems, built to work together.

Attention with a next step

Every post, video or page leads somewhere: a guide, a booking or an offer.

Safety nets

Backup checks catch what the first step misses, so no lead slips through.

Human-sounding AI

Prompts are written to sound like a real person, never like a robot.

People stay in control

Approval steps wherever it matters, like reviewing posts before they publish.
