  Commercial Interactive Media

  • Project Manager

    • 2001 - 2006

    Commercial Interactive Media (CIM) was a pioneer in the Melbourne digital scene, developing and selling content management and email marketing solutions long before they were the ubiquitous digital marketing technologies they are today. I joined CIM straight out of my postgrad in web computing at RMIT and was immediately tasked with managing a number of web builds that were in progress or due to start. Shortly thereafter I was managing the largest accounts and projects in the business and was responsible for Mazda Australia’s digital presence, one of the earliest fully content managed, integrated marketing platforms developed in Australia.
