ABOUT...ME
Raised in New Zealand. Have some tenuous french connections and grandparents who made tiny pastries for a living. Did the arts thing, perfected how to bluff my way through university, then fell in to strategy.
I worked at Colenso for four years; what some would call a rigorous strategic bootcamp. Or baptisim by fire. But it’s had huge pay-off – because Colenso tends to make great work, that works. [And it’s extremely fun.]
During my time there, I helped win pitches for Medibank, Fortescue and Delivereasy, and shaped strategies and campaigns for a whole host of epic clients, including Spark [New Zealand’s biggest telco] and Skinny [Spark’s little cousin].
“Augustine is proper-good and she will take any research/strategy/creative opportunity to a much bigger, much more interesting place. Really, you would be better off just hiring her. Because otherwise, I may just move country so I can hire her again.”
