Sit back and take a couple of minutes to dip into the world of a Media Director.
How long have you been at Media Plus and what’s your current role in a nutshell?
4 years this month! As Media Director, my role involves overseeing the team and our client base – a key aspect of which is ensuring we’re on the forefront when it comes to new opportunities.
What’s your favourite thing about your role?
I enjoy the variety and the problem-solving aspect. No day is ever the same.
Which client project or campaign are you most proud of and why?
I’ve been working on the Moonee Valley Park project with the team at Hamton Property since it launched in 2019. It’s great to look back on how it’s evolved and see our hard work paying off.
Your role constantly requires innovation to stand out amongst competitors. Where do you seek your innovation/inspiration from?
I think the most important thing is to have an open mind and listen. Good ideas can come from anyone – a junior team member, client, supplier…
What’s your go-to platform to find out the latest in the media space?
I’m a fan of HubSpot for easy-to-digest digital advice. Our suppliers are also great at keeping us updated on what’s happening in their space.
What’s a piece of advice you would give to an individual aspiring to take on a leadership role at their workplace?
Give it 100%, but don’t be too hard on yourself when you make mistakes – it’s part of the process.
What’s your go-to song or podcast when you need to get in the zone at work?
When I’m under the pump I tune into Alpha Concentration Waves; so playlists that use binaural beats to help concentration.
Fave media- or agency-related meme?
If you could go on holiday for a week to anywhere in the world, where would you go?
Mexico is high on the list; I can’t go past a fish taco and a margarita!
