2022 year in review: How I bounced back from burnout to find happiness again

2022 year in review: How I bounced back from burnout to find happiness again

by Nerissa Bentley | Dec 11, 2022 | Copywriter Success, Special Announcements

I’ll be honest. Writing a year-in-review post for 2022 feels a bit strange — especially as I still haven’t reviewed 2021! Like many others who live in Melbourne, 2021 was a very difficult year. We spent half of it in lockdowns (again) and were awarded the dubious...

There’s no doubt the current coronavirus pandemic has thrown all of us a curve ball. Social distancing measures and working from home (in my case, having my husband and kids joining me from working from home – sigh!) have changed the way we go about our daily lives....

Corona virus: How should health and medical brands respond?

by Nerissa Bentley | Mar 16, 2020 | Business Branding and Marketing, Health Writing, Special Announcements

Right now, Australia is in a panic. We’re panicking about toilet paper. We’re panicking about food. And we’re panicking about corona virus — in that order. It’s mid-March 2020, and COVID-19 has now hit our shores. Each day we hear of more confirmed cases, and with...
