What an exciting time to be in Hawke’s Bay. The place is bursting at the seams and clever people are sprouting up innovative off-shoots here there and everywhere. As our own marketing business grows and develops I’m looking forward to meeting more of the hard-out business people who may be working so hard on their business that they need to come up for air.
As for me, I guess you’d say I’m a bit of a marketing and business all-rounder. As my career has developed I’ve realised I like to wear multiple hats (you’ve got to keep life interesting!), and have developed a passion for getting things done and seeing business thrive.
My 10+ years’ experience in senior management and co-ordination roles has seen me exposed to varied business models including those in wine & tourism, high-end construction technology, distribution and financial services.
In my early 20’s I quickly rose up the ranks in the insurance industry, holding a senior management role as Service & Marketing Manager for what is now known as Credit Union’s Co-Op Insurance NZ. This role provided the foundations for my career since.
Somewhere around 2010 I spent a few years in Melbourne, where I enjoyed working in the construction tech sector for international market leader FRAMECAD. This role exposed me to some commensurate professionals and broadened my skills in marketing, customer relationship management and solution-based sales for business-to-business.
Since returning to Hawke’s Bay and now with the fun of having a pre-schooler in the mix, I have honed my skills in marketing through roles in the wine and tourism sectors, and with Cole Murray in the financial services sector. You could say I’m just as comfortable in a boardroom as I am on a forklift!
My passion today is in making marketing accessible to all through our fun little InHouse Marketing venture, and doing so in a way that does good in the world. I love to help local businesses achieve their potential through customer-first marketing, and leveraging technology by underpinning it with strong business process.
Business success for me comes from being strategic, taking positive action and achieving results that translate directly to the bottom line. It’s about a process of continual learning and adapting, and I’d love to go on that journey with you.
I look forward to meeting you and exploring the best fit for your business,
Jodi
