Description
Hi, I’m Tracey, the owner of Virtually Marketing. My love of marketing first came about as a 16 year old when I had the opportunity to be part of the Young Enterprise Programme at my high school. This involved researching and importing a new product with friends and learning about business sparked my passion enough to study and earn my degree at university.
My career started with working at a small NZ business where I was mentored by some phenomenal people who taught me the practicalities of applying what I had studied to the real world.
I then received the opportunity to work in shopping centre management, where I worked with 170 plus retailers talking to them about their business and how to create foot traffic driving campaigns. I was mentored by a wonderful manager who taught me compassion for the retailers that I worked with and, again, how to apply the practicalities of marketing to this job.
Next, I worked for a company who supplied and supported 700 plus, individually-owned stores across the country. My passion for working with independent stores was reignited and I worked with them to develop promotions and campaigns which best suited their local market. I helped many by educating them about and executing an online presence.
I am still passionate in helping small businesses with their marketing through looking at a business holistically and working with on a plan to help grow the business and meet it's goals. I work with other agencies and freelancers to help achieve the best results for business.
