More About

MISH BURNS

SEO Specialist & Web Designer

I am a freelance digital marketing, web design, and SEO specialist with over 10 years’ experience in the IT and Digital space.  I deliver beautiful websites, branding development, curated digital presences, digital and print advertising campaigns, and technical and business support, all with a heavy focus on integration across the business.  This emphasis on strategic integration across all platforms ensures a strong brand presence, greatly improved tracking and reporting capability, and most importantly – a greater Return On Investment.

 

With a background working internally in high level Management I’ve gained vital insight into the needs of SMBs, and the importance of validating every last marketing dollar spent.  Being able to track the success of marketing campaigns is essential for this; having highly integrated campaigns with adequate reporting tools in place is the only way to prove which dollars are working hard for your business, and which would be better invested elsewhere.

 

Working in multiple industries has granted me a greater understanding of niche markets, persona identification, and an ability to create bespoke marketing campaigns that really serve the business.  Having studied and worked in Business, IT, Systems, Marketing, Multimedia, and Education, I have developed a diverse skillset, and a more complete comprehension of business needs.  This unique skillset enables me to support small businesses, startups, and large businesses with small marketing teams (1-man marketing department, I see you!) with business goals and KPIs in mind, providing guidance and direction across the full business spectrum, whether tech support, systems implementation, general advisory, strategic direction, and of course marketing.

 

I am passionate about working with individuals who are committed to their cause, have a strong work ethic and high standards for themselves in their work, and young businesses who want to grow.  These qualities in my clients demonstrate loyalty, integrity, and often a desire to support their family combined with the freedom to enjoy more family time.  This alignment of values makes it easy for me to get passionate about projects as it feels more like building a community, and less like a dry business arrangement.

 

I’m perpetually chasing the sun, so I try to spend a few months around June–Sept each year in the UK (eg. “I’ll just pop over to France for the weekend” excuse me, what?).  The nature of my work means I can work from anywhere WiFi touches, serving clients globally and putting my free time to good use exploring new cultures and eating everything in sight.  Time zones aren’t generally an issue as my workday often overlaps with the Oz, UK, and US workdays, as well as personal time for those with a side-hustle they’re trying to get off the ground outside of their FT job.  It’s win-win-win.

MULTIPLE INDUSTRIES + CONTEXTS

I've worked at a sales and management level in Real Estate, Vocational Education, Complementary Health, Retail, and Hospitality industries, in both corporate and family-owned/run contexts.

COMMUNITY

I have served on the State Executive & Young IT Committees for the WA Branch of the Australian Computer Society, and as a Guest Judge for the West Australian IT Awards (WAITTA) for several years.

Recently, I have been involved in more humanitarian focussed organisations, such as Crisis UK, providing relief for people experiencing homelessness at Christmastime.

SYSTEM SELECTION + IMPLEMENTATION

I'm trained in Project Management and Information Systems Implementation, so I am positioned perfectly to help choose and roll-out the right systems to suit your business.

SOLO TRAVEL

Immersing myself in communities around the world has given me a great advantage in understanding the international marketplace.

VEGETARIAN

How do you know when someone doesn't eat meat? Don't worry - they'll tell you.
For the sake of animal welfare, our rapidly deteriorating climate + environment, and our global community, I've been vego for over 10 years.

kind words
Thank you Michelle, you’ve been great and you’ve given our brand a new face lift. Looking forward to working with you again in the near future.
Am I glad I bumped into Mish. She is unbelievable. It’s like she can read your mind. One minute she’s doing a graphic design for you - the next working out a marketing strategy with online sales that can be tracked for best results. Mish has skills that cross-over unlike many other professionals. She knows branding, marketing and tries to fully understand your product before moving ahead. What more can I say except “She is bloody good".
The thing I love about you is you see through the bullshit and really know what you’re on about.
Wow that looks awesome I really love that!!! I don’t know my style yet but you seem to be going with it whatever it is. Want it simple and easy and mainstream so you seem to be nailing it 🙏🙌
