ABOUT
I’m Taryn, a seasoned content, production, media, and digital professional with 15+ years of experience working for some of Australia’s biggest brands and media networks.
Most recently, I was appointed the Content & Digital Director for the Victoria 2026 Commonwealth Games. And before that, I spent a number of years working for Visit Melbourne, managing a jam-packed digital production calendar and spearheading some of the brand’s most successful integrated digital campaigns to date.
I’ve interviewed some of the world’s best athletes, worked across three Australian Open campaigns, and created groundbreaking commercial content for the AFL, helping to generate millions of dollars in revenue.
I’ve also clocked up millions of views on Cricket Australia’s digital networks, and, in my past working life was a television and radio reporter - flying high above the sky to bring Australians the latest traffic and weather conditions.
I’m extremely multiskilled. A digital content + marketing all-rounder and lover of all things creative. Give me a brief (or even just some loose details), and I’ll create magic.
I’m insights-driven and like to be part of the end-to-end delivery of projects. I’m also focused on distribution because your content is only ever as good as the distribution plan that goes with it.
I work on solo projects, and I’m also an expert when it comes to assembling a team - my network of freelance talent runs deep. I love managing people, teams, and creative agencies.
I like to design, surf, hike, and get creative in my downtime! Most of my holidays turn into content shoots.
