Telling stories that matter

Do you want to connect with your audience in an inspiring and impactful way?

I help the media, global organisations and iconic brands share their message through inspiring content, sharp copywriting and compelling public relations campaigns.

With 15 years’ experience as one of Australia’s leading women’s lifestyle journalists, I’ve landed front-page stories on The Age, been trolled by news.com.au’s highly engaged readers and watched my opinion pieces go viral.

Wellbeing, travel and parenting are my beat. I apply my journalistic skills to sniff out the best stories that get people talking. It’s this knack that’s seen me work on Paris Olympics communications, had Coles and Woolworths ask me to write their parenting content, and seen Bupa seek my health writing services to inspire their blog readers.

My clients tell me they love my fresh ideas, witty writing style and commitment to meeting deadlines. But for me, it’s about finding and sharing magical stories that get people thinking differently.

If you’re looking for a dedicated partner who can bring fresh perspectives and strategic storytelling to your projects, let’s connect and explore how we can find your hook.

“Rarely do you come across a person as genuine and positive as Kim Gillan. Spend half an hour with her and you’ll be considering taking up yoga, learning how to surf and finishing that uni course you dropped out of. Her joie de vivre is infectious. Kim’s passion for writing is equal only to her professionalism.” – Emma Vidgen, Woman’s Day lifestyle director

“If you’re after a journo who thinks outside the square and stops at nothing to get a good story, you’ve found the right person.” – Erin Van Der Meer, Nine health producer

“I can always count on Kim to deliver fresh, entertaining stories – no matter what the topic. Her tone is spot-on and her voice speaks directly to our readers with just the right amount of humour.” – Melanie Senior, Cosmopolitan features editor

“As soon as Kimberly Gillan walked into my office, I knew she was the right girl for the job. What I didn’t know then was how hard-working, talented and enthusiastic she is. Always the girl to put her hand up first, Kim can not only string several sentences together but tie them up with a pretty bow as well.” – Gemma Crisp, Dolly editor

“I thoroughly recommend Kim for any freelance or writing role. Professional and a complete delight, Kim always delivers on time and right on target.” – Brodee Myers-Cooke, Taste editor
