Introduction
HELLO,
My name is Ngaio McCreadie (née Pardon), I am a multi-disciplinary communications executive with a depth of experience working for world class brands and advertising agencies in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Singapore and Australia. Roles have spanned business leadership, high level administration, brand strategy, global account management, marketing, production, talent and operations - extending to executive and board level appointments.
TESTIMONIALS
“With the Amplify business growing across the globe and scaling at pace the directors felt it was prudent to explore external advice and guidance on the operational side of our business. From the first day of being with us, you could feel the breadth of experience that Ngaio has gained across her successful career, offering insight and intelligence.
Ngaio found the perfect balance and approach, working across all levels of the business, collaborating and investigative, whilst at the same time provoking and challenging. Ngaio built and evolved on what was great, whilst questioning, and ultimately setting out solutions to what wasn’t. We would have Ngaio back in a heartbeat.”
“Ngaio has meticulous attention to detail, is fiercely organised and a strong articulate communicator. With her Antipodean charm she manages to build strong relationships with everyone from the mail room to the C-Suite.”
“I’ve never met anyone as good, ever. And I mean right up to the top, CEO level.”
“Disarmingly strategic and in possession of a taste and standard for creative that rivals my own.”
“Commands a room and drives an agenda, an absolute force of nature.”
“She is fearless. Firm, structured, no nonsense and with huge integrity as a person.”
“Ngaio has watertight financial acumen, effective powers of persuasion and an ability to think ‘marketing’ better than any CMO.”
“Just write down all the superlatives you can think of. ”
