Ellen Mackenzie – Dishing Up Digital School

…your Instagram fairy godmother! In 2019 I ditched the cubicle life and left my 9-5 magazine job behind to start my social media marketing agency, Dishing up Digital.

When I’m not passionately working away on my business, you’ll find me hanging out at home in Wellington with my foster dogs watching Netflix. Gilmore Girls and Gossip Girl will forever be my favourite shows but I’m a sucker for a good Disney fairytale too.

I love to work hard and play hard. You’ll regularly find me traveling with my partner and sharing our adventures on Instagram. Travel was a huge part of why I started my business in the first place!

It wasn’t until almost a year working full time on my business that I realised I wanted to help others reach their digital nomad dreams too – not just learn how to use hashtags or what to write in their captions.

So I took the plunge and founded the Dishing Up Digital School in 2020, the number one coaching program for aspiring and new social media managers.

What really makes this course special and a step above the rest is I am still an active full-time social media manager who is practicing what they preach.

A lot of coaches are cashing in on your “dream” of becoming an SMM but they don’t actually do the work themselves. 60% of my time and income is still focused on working with my clients (some of which I’ve had for 2+ years now!).
