Describe an occasion where you have made a decisive contribution to your own brand or your client’s business.

I was recently selected by our CEO to manage the construction of our three-year vision and business plan. This had myself and another member of our junior leadership team managing the opinions and passion of over 300 people in the business nationally to deliver a three-year plan that focused on ‘People, Products, Clients and Commercials’. MediaCom Australia now has a new vision and plan that over 300 people have contributed to and will transform us into a solutions business.

Why are you one of the industry’s hottest young talents?

The way people consume content and marketing messages is changing faster than ever before. With more formats, devices and mediums, the media industry is in desperate need of innovative and passionate young professionals who have a hunger for change and a diversified marketing background. I believe that I am one of those people; with content marketing expertise and a passion for communications technology, I will combine experience across UK and Australian markets with an innovative spirit to deliver new and exciting solutions to any communications problem.
