Commercial Marketing & Brand Manager specialising in Consumer Goods and Local Market Launch Strategy.
Hi, I'm Kendall. I’m a Commercial Marketing professional with 5+ years’ experience helping global consumer brands bring products to market through integrated campaigns, product launches and commercially driven brand activations. My background spans FMCG, entertainment and hospitality, where I’ve led go-to-market execution, campaign planning, product launches, retail activations and cross-functional projects for brands including L’Oréal and Sony Music. I specialise in turning strategy into execution—working across marketing, sales, retail, creative and agency teams to deliver launches, campaigns and customer experiences that drive both brand growth and commercial outcomes. Whether it’s launching a new product, developing a go-to-market plan, coordinating stakeholders or bringing global campaigns to life in local markets, I enjoy building the systems and partnerships that make ambitious ideas happen.

Integrated Brand Campaign & Launch Delivery

As Assistant Product Manager for CeraVe, I concepted and delivered the brand’s first fully localised campaign in New Zealand to celebrate its first year in market and strengthen its presence with local audiences. I acted as the central point of coordination across brand, PR, creators, media, and external partners, translating campaign vision into a structured rollout across multiple workstreams. This included building and executing the end-to-end campaign plan and coordinating a 360° multi-channel rollout across print, digital, paid and organic social, out-of-home, influencer activity, media partnership, consumer activation, and podcast integration. I also managed key New Zealand creator relationships, supported the development of local campaign assets, and coordinated timelines, deliverables, and stakeholder alignment across internal teams and external partners. A major part of the campaign was concepting, executing, and hosting CeraVe’s first birthday event, which helped create a local “takeover” effect designed to maximise cultural relevance, awareness, and audience engagement. The campaign successfully delivered CeraVe New Zealand’s first fully localised brand campaign, supported consumer recruitment and affinity growth, and contributed to the brand being recognised as the #1 growth brand in the L’Oréal New Zealand portfolio in 2022. This work also contributed to a L’Oréal Award for Outstanding Team Performance.See More
