Lena’s main area of expertise is facilitating integrated public relations campaigns (covering social and traditional media), CRM campaigns, executing media events and consumer activations.

One of Lena’s career highlights was working on a large-scale Carnival Cruise Lines event, which saw a giant, 7-metre wide red nose placed on the bow of a cruise ship as it sailed into Sydney Harbour for Red Nose Day. The media moment saw national and international coverage, and touched every major broadcast network in Australia. Lena graduated from UTS with a Bachelor degree in Public Communications.
