Strategy
For me everything needs to be underpinned by a strategy to enhance overall effectiveness.
Whether it is creating a communication campaign for a Client, developing a great idea, or leading a team. Ultimately great strategy guides all resource in the right direction, for the right reason, to generate the desired outcomes. I have been a student of strategy for a longtime, applying newly obtained knowledge to the teams that I have led.
Key Strategic Projects
Noteworthy Projects
01
Developed a 2-phase national strategy which realigned 60+ people, under a different structure, with different processes and systems. Key Outcomes:
-
Aligned structure nationally, to create a more collaborative universe, that enabled quicker and easier decisions, by ‘flattening the structure’.
-
Overhauled over twenty processes, with a centralised framework, in order for workflow to be shared nationally with a consistent quality output.
-
Created a national score card on Salesforce, visible to all, for universal accountability.
-
Created an internal learning Academy, using our own research IP, and leading marketing science papers – increasing creative sophistication and quality output.
-
Innovated client engagement. Creating a new way to be proactive, a Tool Kit that was first to market – Instead of consistently re-building proactivity, this tool kit gave consistency and ease – Quality output that could be delivered on repeat. There were 10 tools that each market could use, depending on how they needed to approach cients.

02
With every team I have created a cascading strategy, whether it was with a small or large team, some of this resulted in the following.
-
+40% sell through rate of Content assets (in Brisbane)
-
Marketed an Audio Brand (Sea FM, Gold Coast) that got globally recognised on The Ellen Show – this was a first and remains so.
-
Created first to market products that delivered creative excellence and revenue (discussed in the innovation section e.g. Brandsound, Mood Creative etc).
-
Created #1 rated Breakfast show with a tactical execution targeted towards families - a theatrical series (acting as a spin off to Glee – but we got real school kids wanting to star in their own show (with a Webisode extension). This filled out an auditorium of 5000 families and drove the target to ‘vote’ us to #1.
