From global programmatic to a third way
My path into marketing did not start in an office. It started when I left home to go and study. I moved between countries and education systems because I wanted a wider view of marketing and how different markets think, sell and connect with people. That habit of learning across borders never really left.
Before Thinking Marketing I spent years inside programmatic media and social DSP operations, on teams running campaigns for global brands and major events. International concerts. Household names like McDonald's. Being part of the machinery behind millions in ad investment, across digital and offline channels, teaches you fast how high-volume execution really works.
Along the way I kept seeing the same gap. Growing businesses needed senior marketing hands, but the options never fit. A local hire was expensive and slow. An agency retainer meant paying for seniority you rarely saw. So we built a third way. We find top talent, vet them properly and place them directly into your team. You get the person, we carry the risk.
Relationships built to last
We are in this for the long term. We build meaningful relationships with our clients and partners, grounded in transparency, trust and doing great work together.
Only a small share of applicants make it through
We screen hard so you do not have to. Every specialist clears three gates before we present them.
Written and spoken fluency in Australian English, so your brand voice stays intact and communication is effortless.
Real portfolios and scenario tests. We do not hire people who simply complete tasks. We look for professionals who understand business objectives, solve problems proactively and think strategically about growth.
Reference checks, practical assessments and a working trial. We look for people committed not just to delivering great work, but to helping your business grow over the long term.
What you can count on
If a mistake happens, we fix it and put controls in place. Accountability sits with us, not with you.
Work is judged on return, not activity. Clear reporting, honest numbers and no vanity metrics.
Plain language, no jargon and no lock-ins. Start small, prove it works, then scale with confidence.
Your specialist joins your channels and meetings, backed by our agency's shared knowledge.
Behind every specialist is a full support system
You are never dependent on a single person. Continuity, quality and scalability are built into how we work.
A director reviews the strategy and the quality of the work, the whole way through.
Your specialist taps the shared knowledge of the whole agency, not just their own desk.
If someone is away, cover steps in so your marketing never goes quiet.
For big projects and tight deadlines, we bring in extra hands to hit the moment.
