Year

2018 - 24

Process

Across a six year tenure, I led digital marketing and audience build programs, seeing us acquire more than 1.2M followers and subscribers worldwide; spearheaded our SEO approach, helping the organisation build authority in the Reef space by tripling our monthly website visitation, elevating our domain authority into the excellent range, helping us achieve a significantly larger online presence than previously dominant competitors, shifted positive sentiment from 40-90% across social media, and; delivered multiple website assets and digital products, including an expansion into the US.

In addition I created and led numerous creative campaigns, highlighted by our collaboration with social giant Snapchat, launching the first-ever augmented reality Reef experience. This multi-award-winning campaign reached 40m users, achieved extensive media coverage and generated 800K climate pledges.

This growth played a critical role in supporting the world’s largest-ever Reef conservation program and attracting game-changing partnerships with the likes of McLaren, L'Oreal, AirBnB, YouTube, Qantas, XXXX, Snapchat, and Coles to amplify message, impact and legacy for future generations.
