Our passion is food and the people who produce it
We live and breathe the art
of science and marketing.
We like facts and figures
but we also like to have fun
we know you can have it
both ways.
Our team
Jayne Gallagher
Jayne is our CEO and resident business and market development strategist. A keen observer of human behaviour and fascinated by stories of people overcoming odds and defying challenges, Jayne is naturally curious, a lifelong learner and as a proud member of the “perennial generation”.
She is always on the lookout for new (and old) ideas. Combining formal qualifications with experience in business strategy, market development and brand management Jayne brings a unique “sweet and smart” approach to working with our clients.
Her approach is to start with finding the “sweet spot” in a business and then, working with people in that business, to develop and implement smart strategies designed to capitalise on existing and building new business capabilities and market opportunities.
Jayne is recognised nationally and internationally having won awards for her work for strategic industry development and change management programs.
Jayne’s mantra: Be bold. Be brave. Be different.

Joanne is our resident ‘pracademic’ applying her experience in academia developing and running courses in areas such as marketing, international business, export management, cross-cultural management and business analytics.

Erin Murnane
Erin is our Digital Media and Content Writer.
Her strength lies in bringing brands to life through meaningful, magnetic and emotive storytelling – shaping the tone of voice and crafting consistent messaging for some of Australia’s biggest brands.
Combining her writing experience, creative skillset, and meticulous attention to detail, Erin manages our client’s social media campaigns. Curious, with a thirst for knowledge, she’s constantly learning – staying up to date with the latest algorithm updates and the newest AI.
Possessing a dynamic skillset and breadth of experience in digital marketing, copywriting and hospitality (as well as owning a small food business), she brings a deep passion, respect, and appreciation for showcasing quality produce across the digital landscape.
With cookbooks adorning her coffee table and food photos filling her phone, it’s safe to say her heart belongs to the food and beverage industry. While Erin calls Melbourne home, her country roots run deep; happiest when surrounded by nature.
Mollie McMaster
Leaning on her own experience, Mollie’s excited to help other business owners harness the power of marketing and storytelling to elevate their brands.
While she brings a diverse skill set in marketing, product development, and business management, it’s her knack for juggling multiple responsibilities that makes her the perfect person for the role (and a natural fit in the Honey & Fox Team).
With an impressive entrepreneurial spirit, unrelenting ambition and a deep passion for supporting food and agricultural businesses, Mollie’s working hard to perfect our online learning academy for premium food businesses.
When she’s not busy setting up email sequences, organising online platforms and creating content, you’ll find her with Floof, her beloved horse, beekeeping or planning her next business venture.
