With over 20 years of experience in developing integrated strategic communications and marketing plans for large multinational corporate businesses through to small, local enterprises, Kirsty applies a detailed understanding of business priorities, consumer, competitive, and market insights to developing business and marketing strategies to rapidly advance her client’s goals.
"I thrive on understanding what motivates people to change behaviour - whether it is unpicking consumer data and insights, conducting financial modelling or restructuring organisations processes and procedures, it's about finding the lever that drives change."
Predominantly working with providers of disability services, aged care, regional hospitals, and healthcare services to support their transition to the fee for service funding under NDIS "choice and control" or aged care "consumer-directed care", Kirsty is a key in applying our learning in this space to Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) and health practices such as GP clinics.
Kirsty also enjoys working with a range of different industries on economic development and change projects and has recently undertaken a detailed consultation and study of the Lawn Bowls sector in the ACT. In addition to this, Kirsty provides economic reports and analysis to leading agribusiness not-for-profits that supports regenerative agriculture.
Before Kirsty joined RSM, she worked at a leading Australian advertising and branding agency in media strategy for 17 years, and then managed blue-chip technology clients across the Asia-Pacific, developing media strategy campaigns, conducting market research and developing marketing investment strategies for optimal return on investment.
In her spare time, Kirsty loves learning and is never afraid to take on a new project or investigate a new idea.
