Scott Graham
He honed his craft working on international brands such as Estee Lauder and national retailers like Dick Smith Electronics and The Warehouse. He also broadened his knowledge by completing a Post Graduate Diploma in Business (Marketing) from The University of Auckland.
Having understood the science of media, Scott learnt the art of media under the direction of media legend, Murray Kinsella, who showed him the more subtle, qualitative aspects of planning.
5 Years later he was offered employment by New Zealand’s pre-eminent Advertising Agency Colenso BBDO. It was during this tenure that he established his credentials by winning two CAANZ Media Awards and completed a Master’s Degree in Business studies (MBA) from The University of Auckland. 9 years ago Scott saw a gap in the market for a media centric strategy company, so he started Tactical Media. This company has grown from a start-up to being one of the top New Zealand owned independent media planning companies in New Zealand.
Scott has been a regular guest speaker for business groups and the University of Auckland on the topics of, Integrated Marketing Communications and ‘Sun Tzu and The Art of Business Strategy’
