ABOUT JO BROTHERS
I relate with, and understand, people both one to one and to large audiences. It is the enduring gift I have received from my 30 years of experience working with people and brands within the corporate and public sector.
I have developed the art and science of communicating both in person or on any platform with exceptional results.
I have led Strategic Communications, Marketing, Channels and Content for organisations in the International & Global Airline industry, Banking, Tourism, Urban Regeneration and Local Government sectors.
Since 2018 I have developed the strategy, led and executed integrated communications, marketing, brand, channels and content for New Zealand's urban regeneration agency.
During my seven years at Air New Zealand as Global Digital & Social Media Manager I developed world first campaigns and catapulted Air New Zealand into the top five airlines in social media. At Westpac as Head of Digital and Social Media for three years I integrated social media marketing into banking and banking into social media marketing, digital attribution via content and brand journalism.
I have advised businesses, corporate affairs, marketing, digital and social media teams, business owners, board members and more on how to connect and what to expect in new technology, particularly video and voice!
I have had over 20 years of experience in the Digital Marketing & Social Media world launching Monster.com in New Zealand in 1997, (pre-Google).
"I have held senior roles advising leading global airlines, banks, retail, finance, telecommunications, government, TV networks, sport and travel brands on the evolution of digital media, social media and the ever changing data age we live in." - Jo Brothers
