About Me
I’ve always loved sport and entertainment. I was brought up on the game they play in heaven, but more recently have been fed a healthy diet of AFL. I now understand the reference “Leo Barry, you star!” and have done a campaign with him too! In my younger years I represented New Zealand at two Lacrosse World Cups. To unwind, I love a good rom-com. I’ve got a great husband and two beautiful daughters who keep me pretty occupied these days!
After ten years in advertising, I saw the light and moved into sport and entertainment. As Head of Client and Creative Services, I’m responsible for developing our comms go-to-market offer, building our client base and ensuring the Account Management and Creative teams deliver work of a consistently high standard to our amazing clients. It might be clichéd, but I love my job!
Day in the Life
9:00am – Arrive at the office after dropping my daughters at day care. Coffee with one of my team, Ari. A semi-regular check in to see how she’s going – we chat about her clients, projects, career development, and life in general
10:00am – Time for a discovery meeting with a big client. I want to pick their brain on what work we could be doing for them in the social or PR space for a business case i’m exploring
12:00pm – Check out some sponsorship websites, Activative and what’s happening on LinkedIn. I try to think of something interesting to post... How does Condo do it?
1:00pm – Drop in to the team’s Transport for NSW cricket shoot. Our creative team have managed to sell in a really fun idea and I’m looking forward to seeing how it goes.
3:00pm – Probably not the best time to tackle reading all the board documents for the upcoming meeting, but I raid the chocolate stash to get through it
4:15pm – Quick chat with our P&C Manager about learning and development needs for the team. We agree that some strategic planning and leadership courses are a priority
4:30pm – I head back to day care for pick up. It’s nice to spend some time with the family doing dinner, bath and bedtime together at the end of the day
