    • Arrow ECS ANZ

      May 2017 - Jul 2018
      Digital Marketing and Content Manager

      As the Digital Marketing and Content Manager for Arrow ECS ANZ I was responsible for the strategic direction of the digital and content activity for Arrow's corporate brand, providing expert guidance to the wider business, overseeing the digital execution of vendor marketing activity and the day-to-day management and development of a team of marketing and content professionals. During my time with Arrow I implemented Pardot (working with internal teams to integrate it with Salesforce), created social media strategy, content strategy and best practice guidelines, and worked with global teams on shared web resources. I also lead data hygiene discussions, wrote content on behalf of the executive team, solved problems ranging from lack of budget or time to juggling the conflicting marketing needs of a team with a large vendor portfolio and encouraged my team (and others) to 'think outside the box' in order to offer better solutions for our partners.

    • OOh!

      Sept 2018 - Sept 2019
      Digital Marketing Manager

      At oOh! I was responsible for the creation and execution of digital strategy, ownership of the AU and NZ corporate websites, buythisspace.com.au and careers site, management of external agencies, and act as an advisory to the wider business on all things digital and content marketing.Managing one direct report, our team was super lean, so I encouraged an environment of continuous learning in order to best serve the interests of internal stakeholders and our customers.My first task on joining oOh! was to manage the digital integration of Adshel - websites, social media and search reputation. This was a unique project as the Adshel name needed to be removed from the AU/NZ market in its entirety within 3 months. It was a mammoth task, but we achieved it!Beyond that I worked with a web development and UX agency to improve oOh!’s corporate websites, launched a blog, ran paid LinkedIn campaigns for individual business units (a first for the business), refined processes across content and digital to allow for a more mature, strategic approach to our marketing activity, and was an integral part of platform discussions and ownership, be it bespoke or martech such as Marketo.

      Jan 2021 - Dec 2021
      Senior Digital Producer (maternity cover)

      I was responsible for the smooth running and success of the Support and Optimisation business at Sitback. While every day was different, you'd generally find me working with a team of digital producers and project managers, developers, and UX professionals to deliver high quality web development services to our clients across government, financial services, medical, events, and charity sectors. Words/phrases that summed up my role include (but are not limited to): WordPress, Drupal, Sitecore, Umbraco, website performance optimisation reporting, SEO, analytics, WCAG, new feature development, collaboration, processes, sprints, budgets, relationship management, client retention, resourcing, and capacity planning. Balancing the needs of the business, Sitback's clients, and my team was what I aimed to achieve and doing so gave me a great deal of satisfaction. Show less
