Marketing & Communications Consultant
I use my empathetic life-lense to help thought leaders, small businesses, education providers and arts institutions tap into their customer base and develop long-lasting success. My focus as a collaborative consultant is to use my varied experience working for notable brands such as Etsy, ACMI and Mindful in May to deliver tailored, actionable and successful strategies.
Brands I have had the pleasure of working with.
About me:
I am a marketing and communications leader with extensive experience working in senior roles across a range of industries such as education, tech and the arts (see my LinkedIn Profile here). Some of the brands I have worked with include Etsy, RMIT, ACMI, Mindful in May, The National Stroke Foundation, L’Oreal, Jack Daniels, The University of Melbourne, BAR Studio and Beautiful Accommodation.
I have extensive experience building personal brands, including my own, having spoken at the likes of the Melbourne Writers Festival, General Assembly and Interactive Minds Conference. You can also find my freelance writing published in niche publications such as WellBeing Magazine, Assemble Papers and The New Daily.
With many career highlights under my belt, I found my true passion helping creative entrepreneurs whilst working in a senior marketing and communications role for Etsy during their IPO and grassroots expansion into Asia. This gave me the opportunity to help thousands of small businesses in Australia and Asia flourish. I did this in a number of innovative ways but I am particularly proud to have led strategic projects such as the launch of Etsy’s digital influencer marketing portfolio and the Etsy Design Awards - both are now a global initiatives.
