Shelley Martin

Account Director

As long as Shelley has a great coffee in-hand, she can conquer (almost) anything. A thinker or dreamer as some would say, she loves strategising and contemplating the big picture.

“With a career that spans 14 years, Shelley has built a reputation as a specialist in communications – having worked with the likes of both consumer brands and big corporates. On a day-to-day basis Shelley helps clients find value in their marketing efforts, strategising with the team to ensure the dissemination of meaningful and impactful messaging to the right people on the right platforms at the right time. When she isn’t grafting away at her desk or meeting with clients, you will most likely find Shelley with a book in hand (and coffee of course), busy with a sudoku puzzle, or learning French. Elle n’est pas très bonne (yet).”

As long as Shelley has a great coffee in-hand, she can conquer (almost) anything. A thinker or dreamer as some would say, she loves strategising and contemplating the big picture.

On a day-to-day basis Shelley helps clients find value in their marketing efforts, strategising with the team to ensure the dissemination of meaningful and impactful messaging to the right people on the right platforms at the right time. When she isn’t grafting away at her desk or meeting with clients, you will most likely find Shelley with a book in hand (and coffee of course), busy with a sudoku puzzle, or learning French.

Shelley Martin

Account Director

As long as Shelley has a great coffee in-hand, she can conquer (almost) anything. A thinker or dreamer as some would say, she loves strategising and contemplating the big picture.

“With a career that spans 14 years, Shelley has built a reputation as a specialist in communications – having worked with the likes of both consumer brands and big corporates. On a day-to-day basis Shelley helps clients find value in their marketing efforts, strategising with the team to ensure the dissemination of meaningful and impactful messaging to the right people on the right platforms at the right time. When she isn’t grafting away at her desk or meeting with clients, you will most likely find Shelley with a book in hand (and coffee of course), busy with a sudoku puzzle, or learning French. Elle n’est pas très bonne (yet).”
