Expertise

Three things I do
better than most.

I don't just run campaigns. I build the infrastructure underneath them — the automation, the data flows, the funnel logic — so marketing actually does what it's supposed to do: generate revenue.

01

Marketing Automation & CRM

I architect Marketo and Salesforce systems that work together seamlessly. Lead scoring, routing, data integrity, automated sequences — built to scale without breaking.

  • Adobe Marketo Engage
  • Salesforce CRM integration
  • Custom HTML/CSS email builds
  • Lead scoring & automated routing
02

Performance Funnels & Paid Media

I design funnels that filter, qualify and convert. From LinkedIn Ads to Meta — every touchpoint is mapped to funnel stage, A/B tested, and optimised toward a number that matters.

  • Multi-tier lead filtering logic
  • Social media lead integration
  • A/B testing at every stage
  • Real-time performance monitoring
03

Creative Execution & Brand

From financial whitepapers to event collateral, I've shipped 200+ high-quality assets across regulated industries. I manage agencies, lead teams, and keep brand consistent at every touchpoint.

  • Hand-coded email templates
  • Thought leadership content
  • 360° integrated campaigns
  • Agency & team leadership
Sectors

Complex sectors require
a different marketer.

Regulated, demanding B2B environments need precision in messaging, data and execution. That's where I work best.

01
HR Advisory & Professional Services

At Peninsula Australia — Australia's largest HR advisory firm — I built lead funnels, onboarding sequences and referral programs that scaled across a national sales organisation. Full Marketo-Salesforce integration, clean data, zero manual entry.

02
Finance & Asset Management

At Lazard Asset Management, I navigated strict compliance requirements while driving a 35% engagement increase and 1,200+ qualified leads annually. Delivered 50+ whitepapers, outlooks and client materials — all built to institutional standard.

03
Medical Technology & Healthcare

200+ promotional assets per year at Becton Dickinson. Product launches, scientific conferences, 10+ major tradeshows. Used Salesforce and marketing automation to improve lead generation in a technically demanding, regulated environment.

Selected Work

The work.
The results.

Three projects that illustrate how I approach complex marketing challenges — from strategy through to measurable outcome.

Lead funnel optimisation — Peninsula Australia
Peninsula Australia

Lead Funnel Optimisation: From Noise to Pipeline

The Problem

High-volume paid and social leads were landing in CRM unqualified — overwhelming the sales team with dead-end prospects and burying the real buyers.

What I Built

Multi-tier filtering logic in Marketo. Custom Salesforce fields. Automated scoring and routing based on engagement signals and firmographic data. The system qualified leads before a rep ever saw them.

Outcomes
  • 20K new leads generated via social media funnel
  • 20% improvement in sales conversion rates
  • 15% increase in qualified lead flow
  • Manual data entry eliminated across systems
Client onboarding automation — Peninsula Australia
Peninsula Australia

Client Onboarding Automation: 850 Sequences, Zero Manual Sends

The Problem

New clients got inconsistent welcome communications — some received everything, some got nothing. Engagement with upsell services was flat. The team was handling sends manually.

What I Built

Multi-touch email automation with dynamic content based on service tier and client industry. Custom HTML templates built from scratch. Behavioural triggers for personalised journeys — all integrated with Salesforce data.

Outcomes
  • 850 clients through automated onboarding programs
  • 15% lift in engagement across onboarding sequence
  • Standardised client experience at scale
  • Foundation for retargeting and upsell campaigns
Award-winning institutional marketing — Lazard Asset Management
Lazard Asset Management

Award-Winning B2B Campaign: 35% Engagement Lift in a Regulated Market

The Problem

Launch a new investment strategy to institutional clients in a heavily regulated, competitive environment — where generic messaging fails and every claim must be compliance-approved.

What I Built

360° integrated campaign: content strategy, digital advertising, social media, thought leadership. Coordinated across external agencies, compliance and legal. Delivered cohesive multi-channel execution without sacrificing brand precision.

Outcomes
  • 35% increase in campaign engagement
  • 1,200+ qualified leads generated annually
  • 2 industry awards for brand innovation
  • Thought leadership positioning established
