John Coghill, Brand & Marketing

John bumped into Growmybiz just two days after returning to NZ having spent 15 years working in Africa and the UK.

John brings with him more than 17 years experience in marketing, branding and advertising running his own business and working with world-renowned brands.

John’s first ten years in the UK were with The Economist where he won accolades for major award-winning campaigns and for launching economist.com. His final role prior to starting his own business was as Brand Development Director responsible for identifying and researching new business opportunities carrying The Economist brand and managing product development teams. Successful launches included Economist TV and Intelligent Life – a bi-monthly lifestyle publication.

More recently John has brought his innovative streak to Air New Zealand’s ‘Grab a Seat’ offerings and in growing an online community around that new brand sending a buzz right across the country.

“Since returning to New Zealand what has struck me is the genuine passion and commitment among Kiwi small business owners. What makes Growmybiz so rewarding to work with is its own enthusiasm and approach to helping those small businesses grow. Through understanding what makes small businesses tick and the unique challenges they face, Growmybiz has developed a practical toolkit that delivers on its promise of sustainable and measurable business growth.”
