Director

• Apr 2013 - Present

Hamilton-based strategic marketing consultancy HGB, was founded by Jacqui Gage-Brown and myself in 2013. Armed with experience and expertise in applying strategic thinking to marketing, creative, design and communications, we saw an opportunity to create and deliver meaningful experiences to organisations and their clients. To date, we have worked with industry professionals, specialist businesses and charities throughout New Zealand. Some of our assignments involved rebranding; others have seen the implementation of communication programmes. We have uncovered organisational identities, devised marketing strategies and developed creative campaigns. We aim to work with clients who share in our values of working collaboratively, strategically and creatively to determine a unique, results-driven outcome for their business. Think, feel, do – engage with a consultancy that knows the value of a meaningful experience. Show less
