Hi there—
I'm Rebecca.

I'm a marketing and communications specialist who writes the press releases, brand messaging and launch content that get big ideas out into the world. I've co-led a $25M national launch at Bell, managed partnerships with embassies, museums and tourism boards, and spent 14 years on screen, so I know what it takes to get a story told well from both sides of the camera.

Product Manager, Emerging Technology

Sep 2020 – Mar 2024 · Toronto, Canada

68%year-over-year growth in eSIM activations (2024)

Digital launch example: eSIM, with Air Canada

My title was Product Manager, but most of my days went to the parts that keep a big launch on track: work back schedules, planning meetings, agendas, briefs, and making sure every department told the same story.

Project
A $25M digital transformation that expanded eSIM nationally across web and app, including an exclusive multi-year partnership with Air Canada: onboard activation, sponsored in-flight Wi-Fi and passenger messaging.
My role
Co-led the rollout, aligned 12+ internal teams, and wrote the creative briefs and channel plans. Represented Bell to Air Canada and managed the support materials and launch plans.
Execution
Ran recurring planning meetings with senior stakeholders, built business cases and presented to VPs to secure funding, and kept product guides and documentation current.
Results
eSIM activations grew 68% year over year. Two-time Bell Excellence & Innovation Award recipient (2023, 2024). Earlier, as a Digital Analyst, I built a business case that won $750K in funding.

Founder & Marketing Consultant

Apr 2024 – Present · Washington, D.C.

300K+monthly readers at the Santa Barbara Independent, where I placed a client's launch release

Content & messaging example: Got Lucky Labs

As a freelance marketer, I'm the whole communications department for small businesses with something worth saying. One week can be press copy, website messaging, an email campaign and a month of social posts, each for a different audience.

Project
Launch communications for Got Lucky Labs, a direct-to-consumer health startup, timed to its debut at a Pride festival in Santa Barbara (Aug 2025).
My role
Wrote and distributed the launch press release. Wrote the brand voice, messaging and full website copy for Got Lucky Labs and Distinctive Foods, and led brand presentations for both teams.
Execution
Placed the release on the Santa Barbara Independent. Now building the Got Lucky Labs blog and editorial calendar ahead of a Nov 1, 2026 launch: 9 posts drafted and a 3-month content plan.
Results
Coverage on an outlet with 300,000+ monthly readers. For a real estate client's Instagram, which I run end to end at 12 posts a month, shares grew 30% and comments 33% year over year.

On camera

I've been on the other side of the interview

Before business, I spent fourteen years acting in film and TV. I know what it's like to sit across from a reporter, to get prepped before a press day, and to look for the one sentence that carries the whole story.

That's the empathy I bring to helping experts, founders and partners tell their own stories well.
