Business Development Manager

With a passion for digital media, Olivia brings a contemporary approach to the PR and communications field.

Building on a platform of visual content and a constant search for innovative digital opportunities, she has quickly built a reputation for achieving results for clients across a range of platforms with solid integration into digital marketing tactics, web and more traditional PR offerings. Capitalising on her technical and digital skills, Olivia has converted many clients to alternate communication platforms, over and above traditional media and corporate channels. Coupled with her likeable personality, strong organisational skills and determination to achieve results, Olivia has proven herself exemplary in managing integrated communication programs for a suite of clients.  

Olivia has worked in agriculture, aviation, government/international relations, property, manufacturing, not-for-profit and lifestyle sectors, engaging with clients and media both in Australia and abroad, utilising her excellent people skills to create and maintain exceptional relationships regardless of where they may be located. 

In 2018, Olivia was awarded the Public Relations Institute of Australia’s Future Leader Award for her leadership in digital communication and her ability to integrate contemporary digital channels into a PR agency’s offering.

With the support of Elevate’s professional development program, she has positioned herself as a leader in strategic digital content creation and marketing. This influence has filtered through to Elevate’s internship program, the Queensland University landscape and professional networking groups, where she mentors young professionals in the digital communication space.

Olivia holds a Bachelor of Communication majoring in Public Relations from the University of Queensland and is a professional member of the Public Relations Institute of Australia.
