  • Karen Smailes | About

    For me, marketing is about meaningful messaging, delivered at the most relevant time to deepen or change someone’s belief - and then their behavior.

    Simple.

    The rest of my time I can be found dreaming of a slower coastal life with my fast growing children, bike riding husband, and ‘Digger’ our busy Cocker Spaniel.

Experienced. Steadfast

I can be found behind the scenes crunching numbers, scheduling, posting and updating on behalf of some great business owners & brands.

The fundamentals of building brands is universal. Having worked in communications management roles for local & international brands such as Johnson & Johnson, Kelloggs, Kia Motors, Optus, Telstra, Thai Airways, Pfizer, and The Australian Institute of Management the majority of the businesses Wharf Road Marketing works with are service oriented, where relationships are key.

I am passionate about creating meaningful customer experiences & enjoy sharing this journey with the individuals who own these brands, through on-going marketing and business administration efforts.

No set project fees, or retainers.

Simply the hours needed, when needed. In an office or mostly remotely.
