This is for you if…

You’ve built something real — but growth feels harder than it should.

Your brand looks strong, but sales feel inconsistent

Marketing is busy, but impact is unclear

Your team is stretched doing everything

Agencies have promised growth and delivered activity

You don’t want more staff — or more chaos

You know AI and automation matter, but don’t want shiny nonsense

You’re making big decisions without clean visibility

You’re not stuck.
You’re operating without the right clarity, structure and system

I’m Renee.

Here’s what I do.

I’ve spent 30 years building, scaling and repositioning brands across Australia, Europe and global markets — inside businesses where growth actually matters.

Along the way, I’ve:

Senior Leader who scaled Cotton On Body from $150M to $300M in two years

Repositioned Country Road alongside its CEO at a critical point

Led Australasian marketing for Swatch, launching retail ahead of global moments

Built loyalty ecosystems reaching hundreds of thousands of customers

Led transformation inside billion-dollar, multi-brand organisations

Today, I bring that experience into businesses that want senior marketing leadership — without the overhead.

Today, I bring that experience into businesses that want senior marketing leadership — without the overhead.

Why it feels harder than it should.

Budgets are tighter. Businesses are drowning in manual tasks and inconsistent sales.

Teams are stretched. Teams are stuck reacting instead of running streamlined systems.

Channels are crowded. Lead generation is unpredictable, and follow-up falls through the cracks.

AI is everywhere — but leadership is missing.

Most businesses aren’t short on effort.
They’re short on
clarity, alignment and systems that actually convert.

Marketing is no longer a department.
It’s the conductor — orchestrating brand, sales, experience, systems and growth.

We fix this by installing repeatable frameworks that drive growth—with less chaos and more control.

From Tugboat… to Lighthouse.

Most businesses are operating like tugboats — pushing harder, pulling more levers, reacting faster.

High-performing brands operate like lighthouses — clear, confident, visible and magnetic.

My role is to help you make that shift — without blowing things up or starting again.
