Bio

Catherine was a true partner on Spark’s future retail strategy in 2018. In a short space of time, she got to know and understand the key stakeholders, the market, and shoppers' needs and wants here in New Zealand. What I appreciated about this project was that Mike, Catherine, and myself all had a job to do, but it was the collective job of all of us to be curious and to ensure the strategy was the best it could be. The project was seen as hugely successful, both at Spark and in the industry. In 2020, it was one of six shortlisted for the 'best customer experience initiative' by the World Retail Awards and the two flagship stores continue to set the tone for Spark's retail experience design throughout the country.

Cat is a superstar. Always able to help extract and distill great briefs from clients, Cat was a tremendous partner working throughout the creative process, end-to-end, across multiple disciplines and channels. You'd have a hard time finding a more dedicated and responsive client services leader, and one who always brings positivity and sees solutions not blockers no matter how complex or challenging the task in hand. All in all, just a smashing person to work with.

I worked with Catherine for over 8 years delivering some of our agencies most ambitious, digitally enhanced, experiential environments. These projects threw up numerous challenges due to their technological complexity and the number of suppliers and stakeholders contributing to the process. Catherine remained steadfast and determined throughout, her ability to be continually proactive and adaptable in her management processes was invaluable. She is exceptionally hardworking and organised and brings a huge amount of warmth and positive energy to any situation.
