Shelly Terry - Speaker and Mentor

Meet your speaker.

shelly.

I've been helping founders and organisations think more clearly about their content in some shape or form since 2010- and somewhere along the way, talking about it became just as much a part of the work as doing it.

I speak on content strategy, visibility, and what it actually takes to show up online in a way that reflects the quality of your thinking... which tends to resonate with audiences who are a bit tired of being told to post more and engage with their community.

I'm known for making strategy feel approachable without dumbing it down, and for leaving audiences with something they can actually use. (And yes, I'll always have a cup of tea somewhere nearby. 🙂)

''Working with Shelly on this content strategy session was great. She gave our community a clear framework for organic social media: the five-layer content ecosystem. Members left with real examples they could use. The focus on consistency over volume made sense, and the framework makes it clear what to post and why. It's a framework people can actually put into practice.'
