rebekah lambert is a woman with long dark hair and glasses

Hi, my name is Rebekah Lambert.

I have been freelancing in content, community management, business coaching, and strategy and planning since 2010. I’m also a well-known freelance advocate who has been connecting and championing Australian and New Zealander freelancers since 2012. 

In my role as a freelance virtual marketer, strategist, content writer, community creator, and business coach at Unashamedly Creative, I collaborate with startups, organisations, small businesses and micro businesses to find their strengths and amplify their stories. I use storytelling to foster empathy and understanding across diverse audiences.

Plumbing the depths is what I am good at. This includes a specialisation in end-of-life, mental health, trauma-informed content, freelance relationship management, and productivity addiction and workaholism.

In 2012, I founded the Freelance Jungle, a thriving community that supports over 6700 freelancers across Australia and New Zealand. Through this grassroots community, I advocate for freelance recognition, workplace inclusion, and mental health awareness within the freelance community, earning recognition such as the 2019 Wayahead Workplace Wellbeing Award.

Drawing on my experience as a freelancer and freelance advocate, I also help companies make the most of Australian and New Zealand freelancers. I’m here to help organizations tap into the power of freelance talent by connecting them with skilled professionals and showing them how to create workplaces that are freelance-friendly.

Driven by a passion for social impact and community engagement, I’ve spearheaded various initiatives and campaigns, including virtual festivals and education programs aimed at supporting freelancers thrive during challenging times.
