Working around the clock to source our clients off-market properties and/or bid at auctions / negotiate fiercely for on-market properties.

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia

I'm a buyers agent who helps people purchase stunning and unique properties in Brisbane. I have access to off-market properties and will fight hard to successfully negotiate on-market listings. For home buyers, I believe having a beautiful home that you're proud of has the biggest impact on your quality of life. Help me understand your lifestyle, aspirations and budget - and then I will spend my weeks and weekends relentlessly tracking down properties that match - both on and off market listings. For investors, I've created a yield map showcasing which areas of Brisbane's have the best returns in both houses and units. Whether you're a local, interstate or international investor, I'll use industry data and tools help you find properties that makes financial sense. Whether you're an investor or owner occupier, I'll be your steady hand through the emotional and complex experience of buying property - and give you the confidence you're buying the right property at the right price, with minimal risk.

Stepped in to provide part-time maternity leave cover and have the opportunity to work at Mumbrella and B&T's "Media Agency of the Year." Spent three days a week on Google (segmentations, media behaviour studies, advertising effectiveness measurement) but also some time on Daikin, Purple Bricks, HP and GSK. Significantly grew the size of the insights business at PHD which now requires a team of people rather than a one-person shop. Trialled new research methodologies like facial coding for emotion recognition, and geo-fenced out-of-home surveys that use latitude / longitude points to serve surveys based on a person's proximity to a store or billboard ad.

Alexandria, Nsw

Applied audience insights to help transform what was formerly a "magazine publisher" (Vogue, GQ, SuperFoodIdeas, Delicious, Woolworths Fresh...) into a modern media company that delivers not only advertising opportunities but also content, insights, integrations and partnerships. Managing the Thinkspot reader panel of 14,000 people - using it for not just surveys but also creative forums, in home ethnographies, and opportunity identification. Led the research that drove the launch of Taste.com.au Magazine - now one of the most read and fastest growing food magazines (launched during a time when people said "print is dead")

Leading a strategic business unit within the larger media agency, the role of Insights at OMD is to help clients understand their consumers from the beginning of a campaign through to the end. Current projects include state of the brand studies / brand positioning workshops, path to purchase studies, pre/post campaign effectiveness, and tons of social media monitoring. Clients include Dulux, Selleys, Beacon Lighting, Sensis/Yellow Pages, Clinique, BankSA, Neutrogena and Clean & Clear (J&J).

Worked closely with clients to understand their internal organization and develop brand strategies and innovative new products based on consumer insights that map to the organization's capabilities. Clients included iconic brands like MTV, Nestle, PepsiCo, Target, Axe/Lynx, CondeNast and Time Inc Magazines. Also contributed to new business pitches and mentoring junior strategists.

Developed and conducted innovative qualitative techniques that were used to generate new products, brand positioning/strategies and to test concepts/ads. Also spent considerable time conducting website usability testing since Sachs Insights is one of the leading companies that performs this incredibly important service for brands. Main clients included LEGO, Levi's, Wiley & Sons Publishing, and Circuit City (consumer electronics retailer)

Sized up the iTV marketplace (it was pretty nascent back then) and helped our clients learn about the advertising opportunities. Also did usability testing for the iTV applications using a remote control.
