Dairy Women’s Network
Tasked with building authority and increasing brand equity across all communications and improving use of Dairy Women’s Network platforms and channels to increase engagement and build profile, enthuse successfully developed and implemented a communications marketing strategy with visual story telling at its core.
The Dairy Women’s Network is a kiwi not-for-profit organisation built on a can-do attitude that was established 20 years ago. With a small team based in Hamilton who are supported by two Regional Managers and Hub Leaders across the country the Dairy Women’s Network develops, facilitates and promotes events and initiatives for members to acquire industry-based knowledge and skills. It has a nation-wide network of members supported by the volunteer Regional Leaders who coordinate activity and events in their region.
