BIO
I am passionate about connecting consumers to brands and organisations through insightful and distinctive marketing. With a career path in marketing and advertising that has taken me around the world, I have proven expertise in strategic development, creative leadership, and business management.
As an experienced strategy leader, I have developed brand and channel plans, positionings and platforms, campaign strategies, and content marketing strategies including the invention of new and highly successful models.
As a creative leader, I have sourced, managed and inspired teams, conceived and developed groundbreaking, awarded and highly effective creative work, and brought agencies to be ranked in the top 10 in their markets.
As a business manager, I have led transformational changes, new business processes, business profile, and better workflow practices that improve productivity, utilisation, and profitability, to help creative businesses scale up with increased revenue and margin.
My work has been recognised with over 150 creative and effectiveness awards internationally including Cannes Lions, D&AD, Effies, OneShow, and many more.
I am also an award-winning screenwriter, filmmaker, published author, and advisor to a major Australian university.
