Twenty years ago Zena started her career in product development concentrating on sourcing, pricing and packaging new product for the home DIY market. She moved into the marketing communications arena quite by chance when an internal position became available. Since then Zena has worked across most facets of marketing, specializing in media, strategy and BTL.
Over the past 20 years, Zena has been fortunate enough to have worked for some of the biggest international and national brands across consumer electronics, telecommunications, media and hardware. Zena’s career has seen her work both agency and client side and she has also run her own marketing agency, as a result Zena has strong insight into marketing across large and small teams and budgets.
