Need a Social Media Speaker?

I make social media make sense with practical, jargon-free training your audience will actually enjoy.

Hi, I’m Jodine - a social media trainer, speaker, and simplifier of all things digital.

I help business owners and professionals stop overthinking social media and finally feel confident showing up online.

Why organisers book me.

If you’ve ever booked a speaker who drowned your audience in jargon or theory, you’ll know how rare it is to find someone who keeps things clear, practical, and genuinely engaging.

That’s what I’m known for.

Every session is packed with relatable examples, real-world strategies, and time-saving tips - all delivered with warmth, humour and down-to-earth energy.

My goal is simple:

To help every person in the room walk away thinking, “I can actually do this.”

A little background.

I’ve been using social media for marketing since 2008, back when you still had to convince people that Facebook wasn’t a fad!

These days, I work with self-made business owners across New Zealand and beyond to help them simplify, sort, and succeed on social media, without burnout or algorithm stress.

I don’t teach hacks. I teach real-world, proven strategies that work, drawn from over 15 years in digital marketing and hundreds of hours spent training and speaking to groups of all sizes.

Whether it’s a conference keynote, an in-house team session or a community workshop, I keep things practical, clear, and fun (and yes - I’ll get a few laughs out of the group too).

What clients & attendees say...

"Everyone took something away."

"Jodine ran a social media workshop for our business group recently. She was very professional and covered the basics well while also switching into more detail for those who use social media regularly. Everyone took something away to work on to improve their usage."

"...excited to take away what I have learnt..."

"Attended a workshop yesterday and it was fantastic! I got a lot out of it, it was easy to follow and wasn't too much information that you felt overwhelmed. I'm excited to take away what I have learnt in such little time. Jodine was a great speaker and would highly recommend using her services.
