Belinda James
General Manager Customer Engagement, MetService
Panellist
Belinda has worked for over 30 years in both sides of the marketing world - from leading big brands to working in big advertising agencies. Belinda started her career by kicking off one of the most loved bank branding campaigns - the long running black horse campaign of the National Bank. She then jumped ship and worked for Saatchi and Saatchi in both New Zealand and London. Moving back to New Zealand after an extended stay in the UK meant a return to head of Brand Marketing roles at large New Zealand organisations, NZ Post and Contact Energy.
A return to advertising meant leading the Client Service team at VML Advertising. After several years there, Belinda has made her, quite possibly, final return to client side where she is currently GM Customer Engagement at the trusted weather agency, MetService.
