      Feb 2017 - Dec 2019
      Marketing Coordinator

      In 2017 I set my GPS to Longreach, heading west from Brisbane to uncharted territory to begin my marketing journey with the Outback Queensland Tourism Association. OQTA is Queensland's largest regional tourism organisation by geographical size where the marketing efforts continue to drive visitors to Outback Queensland. As part of my role as Marketing Coordinator, I assisted in executing our digital marketing strategy to drive awareness and increase conversion to all operators, events, councils and drive routes in Outback Queensland. Growing our social media channels and consumer databases, pitching and coordinating famils and negotiating partnerships were essential to this role. Additionally, I had the privileged of contributing a tourism column to the weekly publication, The Longreach Leader. Show less
