Effie Award winner - Author of 4 award winning papers for M&C Saatchi (2x
Gold, 2x Bronze). The Effies are about ideas that work the kind that
deliver real, measurable results for clients. I also led strategy for the
agency, for one of Australias top 10 brands, to redefine their value
proposition, and how to deliver it by means of root-to-branch customer
experience.
18 months at The Campaign Palace as head of brand strategy for the
agency's largest account, Westpac. My role included positioning the bank
as sustainably-led (before sustainability became flavour-of-the-month),
developing the architecture and brand advertising for Westpacs
institutional bank, devising the strategy and positioning for many of the
bank's critical B2B and B2C product campaigns and re-designing the
customer experience for a sub-branded online foreign exchange service.
All good stuff that added value for my clients.
Ive done a lot of work with clients to deliver true insights the kind that
reveal an exploitable opportunity not capitalised on by competitors. Ive
done this successfully across an eclectic set of issues and organisations,
from designing, managing and moderating research for target customers
of Jaguars new top-of-the-range XJ (the sort of people prepared to plunk
down a quarter of a mill for a new car), to developing insights into
healthcare professionals and users dealing with heroin dependency, to
helping BT Financial Group understand core motivators and
differentiators for their employees and ultimately defining a new, highly
relevant employee value proposition. This last project offered me the
opportunity to use the human-centred design process, which I believe
leads to better, highly differentiated and engaging solutions.
