Hi, I’m Emma Lang.
Too often people doing incredible work fail to feel strong in their voice and have their story told. Let’s get personal. Let’s get heard.
I’m a strategic influence and partnerships adviser, who for better or worse, has had a weak spot for social justice. I’ve worked exclusively with social services, policy wonks, foundations, and hopefully in the future m/othering activists, who in their own way work towards a more caring, dare I say progressive, Australia.
Policy advocacy
Strategic communications
Empowered mothering
I kicked off my professional life in Canberra with social services calling for policy change. This spanned energy affordability, gambling reform, charity regulation - coordinating conferences and receptions at Parliament, Old Parliament House, and drum roll, televised events at the National Press Club.
Wanting an excuse for lippy and heels, I then provided content marketing for Charities Aid Foundation in Sydney to grow corporate grants and charitable giving. I then campaigned for #KidsOffNauru with ASRC and provided media and crisis comms for Anglicare Victoria Aged Care during Covid-19 outbreaks.
Becoming a mother in 2021 and having our second in 2024, each week I’m inspired by the cohort of advocates who are reimagining m/othering and care work. The challenges of motherhood affecting 80% of women in Australia, how does it remain so overlooked? My rough takes at @mamay_kiss.
Change occurs at the speed of trust.
Working at the intersection of community voice, evidence and decision-making, I know that transformative change comes at the speed of trust.
Values driven, each interaction and decision works towards integrity, deep collaboration and high impact.
