Marketing Director | Brand | Digital Marketing | Content Marketing

Hello, I’m Sheena. I love the digital world almost as much as the real world. I’m a marketing operations director with every thought and breath I take.
I am passionate about connecting with people both in person and online. I’ve been told I’m curious and direct to a fault, and I prize authenticity above all else.
As a mom of two young boys and wife to a loving and supportive husband, I aim to leave an impression by being firm, kind and fair to all.
Since early 2016, I’ve run a successful strategic social media consultancy called The Social Local. We’ve taken on some of the biggest brands out there and have worked our way through four years of inspiring projects, including one in particular which won us an official Guinness World Record certificate.
I consult to a tech startup 40 hours a week, and as much as I love the environment, they’re going through a tough financial period. I see this as an opportunity to look for a new challenge, something to stick my teeth into, a position where I can explore my operational creativity, project, and team management. I love to lean into my hands-on experience of running marketing campaigns, projects and people.
I am confident that I will be valuable with my experience, can-do attitude, and go-team mentality. I love to see projects being executed successfully, and deadlines being met. I pride myself on communications being reciprocated clearly and tying it all together with a good sense of humour and a dose of gumption.More...
