About

I’m Emily Ashman, founder of Stanza.

​

With more than twenty years of experience in journalism, editing, and content marketing—including editorial roles at OK! Magazine and Hong Kong Tatler—I’ve spent my career mastering the art of the story. After founding and selling Kleio, a leading content agency in Hong Kong, I created Stanza to offer something different: senior-level strategy without the agency layers.

​

At Stanza, you work directly with me. I personally develop the strategy and assemble bespoke teams of veteran journalists and specialists specifically for your project goals. This ensures every piece of work meets high editorial standards and provides the senior-level thinking of a major firm without the middle management or overheads.

 

My approach is simple: I draw on real journalism experience to find and tell genuine stories that build authentic connection — not just clicks.
