Camilla Swenson
Group Account Director
I began my career managing through the line media for top agencies in Brazil, and has seen me transition into not just new fields, but new countries. Working in Sydney and now here in Perth, I specialise in business strategy and marketing consulting for both B2B and B2C clients.
Although I have more than 15 years’ experience in delivering integrated campaigns for local and global brands, I make it a point to stay on top of the ever-changing digital landscape. My international experience has also provided me with an in-depth knowledge of the consumer journey, and as it has evolved, so has my knowledge in deploying successful campaigns.
Whether it’s in-store or online, crafting an effective marketing strategy is like putting together a puzzle – and one I relish doing.
