My role at Union combined a Senior Leadership role driving the strategic growth and operational management of the business, with hands on digital strategy, project leadership and delivery to utilise my extensive Digital experience to build team capability and deliver Client value.The General Management element of my role included heading up our Senior Leadership Team, and having full P&L responsibility to our Board Of Directors. I was ultimately responsible for delivering on the business's substantial growth targets, whilst also evolving the strategic positioning of our agency and offering. In my time with the business we doubled headcount and grew revenue 30%+ year on year, as well as transformed what it was we did and how we did it. The Digital Strategist part of my role was based around developing and delivering digital strategies, platforms and engagement programs for our top tier Clients including DB Breweries, Fisher & Paykel Appliances, Q Card, The New Zealand International Convention Centre and The Comfort Group. This covered the full spectrum of digital from social media to enterprise-scale web platforms.

As Head of Client Service I managed a team of 7 Account Managers, Producers and Campaign Managers and ensured that we delivered great work across everything we did. My responsibility was to lead the development of Union’s Client Services team as individuals and a whole, and implement consistent and productive Account Management and Project Management practices to deliver high quality and profitable work.I also took overall responsibility for our key clients, leading their digital strategy development and ensuring the highest value of service and delivery. I drove the implementation of large scale digital projects from initial brief through to ongoing support, and worked with our internal teams to improve the way we delivered digital projects. My combination of client and agency side experience was put to good use with a heavy focus on digital marketing communications and insight and data led customer engagement programs.

After beginning my career in Brand Management I took my passion for new media marketing, drive to start a business and a couple of ill advised bank loans to found POCKETvouchers, a mobile marketing start-up bases around an innovative mobile voucher platform. Over the next 7 years I enjoyed/ endured a roller coaster ride involving raising close to $1mill Angel Investment, scoping and building from scratch a world-first technology platform, and running successful digital campaigns across New Zealand and Australia for Clients including Heineken, Coca-Cola, adidas, Carlton United Brewers, Schweppes, Rebel Sport, Liquorland and BP. I led contract developers in building a scalable technology platform using agile development techniques such as User Stories, Product/ Sprint backlogs & development sprints and managed the POCKETvouchers’ product development roadmap to continually meet market needs/demand, and unlock revenue new opportunitiesIn the end, the investment and my own personal passion and energy dried up before we could find a sustainable business model but I am now all the more richer for having experienced failure and come though the other side.
