My role & ownership

Project lead steering full-service agency delivery in Sydney: business pitches, concept ideation, experiential event design and on-site production across Bayer’s cross-border portfolio.

Pillar 1Business pitching & account growthLed client pitching and proposal development from the ground up, building creative concepts, strategic rationale and delivery plans to win and secure campaign briefs.

Pillar 2Concept ideation & experiential designOriginated creative ideas and mapped end-to-end consumer event journeys, translating product science into engaging physical installations and pop-up activations.

Pillar 3Compliant production & vendor sourcingSourced and directed specialised fabrication partners across Sydney for experiential build-outs and bilingual assets, enforcing strict alignment with healthcare advertising regulations and cross-border standards.

Pillar 4Execution & live event deliveryLed end-to-end on-site event operations across high-traffic consumer roadshows in prime public precincts, alongside high-stakes B2B summits and partner showcases with Alibaba.

The ambition

Uniting Australian on-ground engagement with Chinese cross-border trade.

Strengthen Bayer Australia’s leadership in the Australia–China cross-border corridor, building consumer trust and driving direct demand for its flagship wellness portfolio while actively engaging the cross-border distributor and daigou ecosystem.

The challenge

Balancing healthcare regulatory rigour with high-engagement experiential marketing for a dual audience.

Cross-border health brands operate in a demanding environment. They must maintain strict medical credibility and regulatory compliance in Australia while remaining culturally relevant, visible and commercially frictionless for Chinese consumers and cross-border traders.

Operationally, managing this full-service account within an agile agency setup required end-to-end ownership: pitching to secure project scopes, originating creative event concepts, sourcing specialised production partners, and coordinating complex on-site logistics across public commercial spaces and trade partner networks.
