Lisa Jade Hutchings's Linkedin Analytics

Did you know the letter "A" is one of the most common letters in the English alphabet? Without it, vital messages, content, information, plot twists, and characters would lose meaning. With over 17 years of expertise in the creative and communications spaces, I help fill in the essential gaps — like the letter "A" — by creating connections with people, brands, and ideas through diverse mediums like writing, storytelling, and brand communication. My thematic specialities range from neurodiversity (being neurodivergent myself) and mental health to sustainability, conservation, human-interest stories, and events. The most notable moments in my portfolio career are: - Writing various content forms, from articles and guides to scripts and websites, for global organizations like Google (US) and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). Additionally, I have multiple bylines in Skift Meetings (formerly EventMB). - Collaborating with leading creative agencies like Hill+Knowlton Strategies around an assortment of creative copy that engages. - Ghostwriting for small and large clients, with pieces appearing in publications such as the Mail&Guardian. - Serving as a youth mentor in crafting stories and brand identities for impact. - Speaking both locally and internationally about storytelling and sustainability. - Connecting with people during capacity-building sessions as an event-greening trainer. - Setting a local industry benchmark by achieving a 98.7% sustainability compliance level for a client event. - Earning recognition through two industry awards (Top 40 Women in Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Exhibitions/Events [MICE] | 50 Most Influential Women Leaders in MICE). - Working as a medic for half a decade, a chapter from what seems another lifetime ago. And, on a lighter note, dressing in a unicorn onesie for a client meeting to cheer people up during lockdown (and, yes, it did help seal the sponsorship deal). When I am not working, you'll find me downloading new cerebrum software through reading and studying, with weekends usually spent upgrading my physical unit via dancing and nature-based activities. Deep, meaningful conversations with humans I love (including ongoing debates with mini-versions of myself around age-appropriate bedtimes) are a daily occurrence. While, of course, questioning the meaning of life. I also love a good game of backgammon. What's your story? Let's connect — human to human — and inspire new possibilities together.
