ABOUT BETH

PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND

Beth brings over 15 years of marketing experience across a diverse range of organisations - from managing blue-chip accounts at Australia’s leading advertising agencies (Heineken, Levi’s, Subaru) to driving growth at high-profile European tech start-ups (Delivery Hero, Urbanara). She has worked extensively across the Australian, German and UK markets, building a reputation for excellence in branding, marketing and communications. Known for her ability to craft innovative strategies and campaigns, Beth has repeatedly held senior leadership roles, including multiple appointments as Head of Brand, where she successfully led teams of up to 30 people.

​

A specialist in brand governance and identity, Beth is particularly skilled at uncovering the core USP of a brand and translating it into a distinctive, authentic identity - free from empty or superficial concepts. Her work has been recognised at industry level: in 2017 she was nominated for Rising Star of the Year at the UK Masters of Marketing Awards for a transformative brand positioning strategy she developed.

​

Having witnessed companies at every stage of growth, Beth also understands the foundations of high-performing organisational culture. While at Delivery Hero, she designed and implemented a groundbreaking employee engagement and wellbeing program that doubled the company’s number of “promoter” employees year-on-year (NPS).

​

Today, Beth offers a unique blend of strategic brand expertise and deep knowledge of employee engagement and workplace wellbeing. She is a highly skilled consultant, strategist and leader, known for delivering meaningful, measurable impact for the brands and teams she works with.
