Hi there. I’m Laurie MacPherson, a technical content strategist and writer focused on cybersecurity, data governance, and cloud infrastructure.

I bring a journalist’s research habits and a decade-plus of B2B technology marketing experience to every client engagement. 

These days, I work on a fractional basis, helping tech marketing teams develop credible, useful content for security and data leader audiences.

How I got here

My journey has been, like many people’s, roundabout.

I started in journalism, where the job was to ask good questions, find the “story within the story,” source responsibly, and write clearly. From there, I moved into B2B technology marketing, where I began partnering with PMM teams, interviewing SMEs, and writing content for technical decision-makers. I started helping teams design and build content programs with both technical rigor and a unique point of view.

Over time, security topics became part of nearly every content plan I was working on, from analytics to health tech. That (and, I’ll be honest, discovering Mr. Robot) is what pulled me deeper into cybersecurity, data, and cloud.

Alongside client work, I’m building my expertise through cybersecurity coursework and certifications, hands-on labs, and my security blog, Path & Payload.
