Ethical Marketer

Hey, I’m your
VEGAN HYPE WOMAN.

Feel like you’re the best kept secret in the vegan world?

Desire to do more personal storytelling and brand building through social media, blogs, or emails?

Desperate to pass on tedious admin tasks to a rock star who has experience and connections in the vegan industry?

Ready to publish books, get in the media, and speak to audiences in a big way?

I work with impact-driven vegan leaders across North America to streamline their admin & content and amplify their brand so they can solve the world’s biggest problems with their companies or influence.

If you:

  • love storytelling (even if you’re introverted)
  • help people, animals, or the planet by specializing in a specific industry or knowledge area
  • often work on many projects outside the 9 to 5
  • want a #1 who works five times faster than the average person

…let’s jam!

TESTIMONIALS

I hired Sandra to write website copy for a restaurant client of mine. Sandra was a pleasure to work with and she made the process easy for our team. Speedy deliverables, quick and clear communication, and high quality work—I really couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Meredith Marin

CEO, Vegan Hospitality

Top notch help. 100% great writer. Thorough, timely, caring, and a great listener. If you want it done right the first time, Sandra is the one. Money well spent.
Rey Ortega

Owner, Sun Flour Baking Co

Sandra shared helpful recommendations for how I could improve messaging on my website and in my bio. She also helped me outline a plan for my book launch. She is a dedicated professional, gifted writer, and insightful marketing consultant—I highly recommend her.
Dr. Angela Crawford

Psychologist, Educator, & Author, The Vegan Transformation

Sandra is an absolutely brilliant writer who has been doing blogs for us for many months now. Her rates reflect the quality of her work and we have never had to ask for changes. The research she conducts shows real depth in order to bring out the message we look for in our content. The work is always completed well ahead of the agreed deadlines, which is a rare trait in the content world. We cannot recommend Sandra enough and hope to use her for the years ahead!

Your Vegan Marketer

I am passionate about what I do, but I have never been good at putting it into words. All it took with Sandra was a quick Zoom call, and she pulled all of the information she needed out of me to create a wonderful piece that couldn’t have been more perfect. I have already used it several times on different platforms to connect with my customers and feel that it’s resonated on all of them. Thanks so much for helping me put my thoughts onto paper, Sandra! Can’t wait for our future work together.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHY SHOULD I HIRE YOU TO BE MY HYPE WOMAN?

Communications is my life. I’ve been reading and writing since the age of three, which is for four decades now. I’ve published poetry in literary journals and have written and published blogs since 2006, many of which are on this website.

After graduating with a degree in English Literature and Film Studies in 2005, I started my career in public relations (PR). From 2008 to 2018, I ran an award-winning virtual public relations agency, Conscious PR, in Vancouver. In 2012, I committed to working only with businesses that had a positive social or environmental impact. I certified my company as a B Corp and was a member of 1% For the Planet, so I’m all about corporate responsibility & impact-driven work.

If you’re looking for more diverse partners/suppliers, I have a unique lens that gives me expertise on ethics and inclusivity in marketing communications. I’m a millennial and one of the few vegan women of colour in the world who works in marketing and book publishing.

I’ve been a personal assistant since 2017 and vegan since 2018. If you’re looking to network with or get in front of more vegans, I’ll use my vegan network connections to help you. Since 2019, I’ve self-published two books, one of which was the first vegan marketing book in the world.

I’m not kidding when I say I work five times faster than the average person. I won’t put my feet up in my home office and then send you an invoice—it’s my passion to work hard to create more vegan leaders in the world because the animals and the planet are running out of time.

Read on below for more about my personality, or learn more on my About page.

WHAT IS A VEGAN?

According to The Vegan Society, veganism is “a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms, it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.”

A vegan is someone who ascribes to this lifestyle and philosophy.

WHY DO YOU ONLY WORK WITH VEGANS?

Working with companies that align with my values of social and environmental impact is not new to me; I’ve done this actively since 2012.

After learning yoga and meditation, reading self-help books, and going to motivational speaker events, I became more serious about self-development. Over five years, I spent over $11,000 on various programs, none of which compared to becoming vegan and living an ethical, eco-friendly lifestyle.

Since working with vegan companies in 2020, I know who I attract and work best with. While authors do not need to be vegan, it’s become clear that specializing in working with vegan leaders (whether company founders, CEOs, COOs, CMOs, activists, and/or solopreneurs) on administration, content, or public relations is a way we can both have the most impact in the world.

For most of my career, I’ve felt underutilized. I realized that it’s because I haven’t been working with people who match my energy and skill set. Today, I’m at a point where I can use my skills and talents for the highest good by amplifying leaders who have already attained the same personal and ethical goals I have. 

I’ll use the same process I went through to help you build your content strategy, publish a book (or multiple books!), and speak at events to amplify your personal brand. When I published my second book, I got the “you’re everywhere” feedback from vegans—I’ll do that for you. If these are your goals, I want to be your “number one” so that you become a #1 in your audience’s eyes.

I am not opposed to working with vegan leaders outside North America, so long as you don’t mind the time difference and can pay in US currency.

If you do not identify as vegan yet but are on the path and want to get there faster so we can work together, contact me and I can introduce you to amazing vegan coaches and/or nutritionists who can help you push past your limitations.

If your business causes harm to people, animals, or the environment, please find someone else to work with.

WHAT’S YOUR PROCESS FOR WRITING CONTENT?

If you need help with content, we may start with a complimentary discovery call. Then I’ll put together an agreement before I start the work. No fancy onboarding process with a dozen technical steps over here!

Here is a link to my evolving portfolio.

For single projects:

  • I’ll give you an estimate for the work. Tell me your budget to ensure I can work within that.
  • A project brief is much appreciated if you need help with content. It’s not impossible to start the work without one, but if my first draft is way off than what you wanted, there may be more revision rounds. That will add time and cost.
  • Once you’re happy with the final product, I’ll send my invoice over. I expect payment within the week. If you’re known to pay late, please find someone else to work with.

For ongoing services:

  • The minimum time period for written content services is three months for me to get a good understanding of your brand voice, message, and style.
  • We can arrange a consulting agreement on a monthly retainer.
DO YOU USE AI TO DO TASKS OR WRITE CONTENT?

I currently don’t use AI to do tasks or write content for clients. As AI relies on whatever information is supplied or available on the internet, there’s still a lot of room for errors. If you’re not leading the content strategy for social media or blogs, I may use AI to generate ideas and an outline, but NEVER to replace you.

I’m a big fan of the original brand voice method of voice recording and transcribing, for which I use AI. You are also free to use AI and send me drafts of your content to edit so that the result reflects YOUR brand voice.

WILL WE GET ALONG?

I am an introvert. My personality is more cool than warm. I like clear communication. I dislike people from the global majority who talk too much. Small talk is great for the first few minutes of our meetings, but after that, I like to get to the point.

I stay quiet so I can listen. A lot. I have an unintentional resting bitch face (RBF), which means I listen intently to what you say. This is especially important if I’m writing in your voice—it translates into well-written copy.

I’ve been called “mysterious” and “really quiet” for someone who is in communications. My words—and editing skills—are my secret weapons. 

People forget me, but I don’t forget anyone. I’m the small Asian woman who might stay quiet in a boardroom, but I listen to everything and respond when I need to. In the past, I’ve run a film festival with a team of a dozen people, so I’ve led groups when needed.

I’m down to earth and realistic, but I also believe in aliens and that the Divine is everything and everywhere. Everything I do in my life, including my business, is for the greater good of all living beings. I wouldn’t call myself an Intuitive, but when I write or edit for clients, I feel like I get “intuitive downloads” so if you’re into the woo, we’ll get along just fine!

Teaching and helping others to find solutions and progress is in my Human Design profile. After 20 years of professional work, I know that I work 3–5 times faster than most people without compromising quality.

If you run a vegan business in the Lower Mainland of BC, I’m probably already familiar with it.

Lack of emotional intelligence is a deal breaker and may cause a termination of services.

CAN YOU GIVE ME A DISCOUNT?

Non-profit organizations may qualify for discounts; please mention that when you contact me.

We have to lift people of colour and work towards racial equity. That includes paying me what I’m worth.

I HEARD ABOUT YOUR FREE VEGAN MEDIA LIST. HOW CAN I ACCESS IT?

My list of over 450 vegan-friendly media, podcasts, and content creators is a document I’m always updating. You can get the latest version if you purchase my Be Your Own PR Star in 90 Days online course or hire me for a service. You must identify as vegan and you will need to request the list from me.

HOW CAN I ADVERTISE IN 125+ VEGAN FACEBOOK GROUPS?

I am the ad manager for 128 vegan Facebook groups globally, founded in 2013 by Louis Capet XXVI. Click here for instructions on how to advertise.

CAN YOU REVIEW MY VEGAN PRODUCT/SERVICE?

Yes! I do a few content collaborations each year with vegan and sustainable companies. Rates vary between social & YouTube only vs. social + blog. Contact me for my rates/social following or even if you do not have a budget; I may do social posts in exchange for complimentary products.
