about elyse

Elyse has spent the last 15 years working across the political, charity, NGO, start up and digital agency realms.

Working from my base on the Kāpiti Coast I wear many hats, bridging the marketing, research, and academic realms.

Media, Communications, and Marketing: Supporting organisations and businesses to shape their brand identity and reach customers in the right place at the right time. I blend creative curiosity with research backed insights to produce content that sings.

Research: in both academic and private sector settings, I work with organisations to build or augment a research project. With the likes of surveys, interviews, focus groups, data analysis and insights, and user behaviour.
