Adrian runs the paid advertising and brand side of Stackt from Mudgeeraba on the Gold Coast. Before starting the agency with Lochie Burgdorf, he led marketing for an Australian financial services business as its Chief Marketing Officer (CMO).
Adrian's career runs across three threads: business development, creative direction and leading marketing teams. That mix is why he's as comfortable reworking a campaign budget as he is briefing a photo shoot.
His last role before Stackt was CMO in Australia's financial services sector, a tightly regulated industry with plenty of moving parts. There he took two new brands from nothing to launch and built the content they ran on: written copy, photography, video, printed material and the websites themselves, much of it designed to help customers understand the service.
Along the way he picked up hands-on experience across most growth channels, including search engine optimisation (SEO), website development, social media planning and marketing that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and automation. He has also worked agency side, so he knows what clients get frustrated with and what they value.
What drives him is building brands and making the content himself, rather than handing it off and hoping it lands.
Adrian plans, builds and adjusts the Google Ads and Meta Ads campaigns for Stackt clients, and keeps the spend pointed at the searches and audiences that actually turn into enquiries.
He leads the brand sessions that work out how a business should look and sound, and he sets the direction for each client's marketing so every layer supports the next.
Adrian's co-founder looks after content, SEO, websites and shoot days. Most clients deal with both of them, depending on which part of the stack needs attention that month.
