A hands-on role in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with full responsibility for creating and executing the marketing and brand strategy to achieve business growth targets. Member of the SLT.

Marketing Director

EARN

As a founding member of EARN I have played an integral role in shaping and building the company. Taking our learnings and experience from the world of energy drinks, primarily Red Bull and Monster, we help clients implement a more powerful and effective form of marketing, focusing on ‘story-doing’ rather than story-telling, to achieve the desired results.  

Working with a diverse client portfolio I focus on developing astute strategy and disruptive creative to solve business challenges. Often working as an extension to my clients’ brand and marketing teams, my projects are varied; from creating new brands and launching new products, to implementing innovative growth strategies and integrated campaigns. New business is also an important element of my role.

I lead a core team of strategists, creatives and account personnel, reporting to the Founder, and also manage a wide network of specialists who we partner with when required. I work in a fast paced environment with co-creation, positivity and entrepreneurship at its core.
