Olivia Brown

CEO

Olivia has always had a keen interest in business from a very young age, and she knew one day she would start her own. Throughout university she worked as a Brand Ambassador, then when she graduated with a Masters in Commerce, she became the Christchurch co-ordinator for an experiential marketing company. Quickly excelling in this she moved up to South Island Regional Manager. She soon fell in love with the industry, decided to take a leap, and from there Orbit Marketing was born. Her organisation skills and broad scope of responsibilities help run the day to day, while her vision and direction ensures Orbit’s growth. When she’s not working you’ll find her hanging out with her friends and family, in the gym, snowboarding, and hiking. Olivia has a goal of completing all of New Zealand’s Great Walks, she has currently completed six!

Michael Welten

CFO

Utilising his Bachelor’s Degree in Commerce, he has been involved in a number of businesses that has given him a depth of knowledge in other fields. Michael takes care of the day-to-day operations of Orbit's IT and finance. Always forward thinking, Michael is constantly looking for ways to future-proof Orbit, and provide seamless staff support for his team. When Michael's got time up his sleeve, you'll either find him attempting to go down a mountain on his snowboard - or ripping around a go kart track pretending to be an F1 driver.

Liam Ryan

COO North Island

Curiously, for a surfer, Liam washed up in London. He landed a job there working for a leading marketing agency in the UK and they sent him to work abroad in Europe and Britain. Returning home to Wellington to raise his children (and surf more) he has worked for four different agencies in the Brand Experience space. That depth of experience helps keep Orbit high selling. A lifelong surfer, when it's flat he can be found hunting through record stores to add to his broad collection.

Briar Metcalf

COO South Island

Briar is a jack of all trades who combines her range of experiences and skills, to not only help Orbit excel as a business, but to ensure it is also a supportive and inclusive workplace. Briar started her career working for Coca-Cola Amatil, then the call of the big O.E came and the plan of living in Dublin for one year, turned into eight. Once back home Briar became the South Island Regional Manager for an experiential marketing company. She spends her time trying to keep up with her son and loves to be out and about with her family, experiencing all the amazing things N.Z has to offer. Warmly known as the "Mum" of the team, Briar loves to guide and encourage others to reach their full potential.

Lara Frampton

Bookings and Client Services Executive

Lara is a jack of all trades; her organisation and efficiency helps keep Orbit’s office running smoothly. When she's not busy working she enjoys going to the gym and socialising with friends. Travel is her biggest passion, she has set the goal of visiting 30 countries before she turns thirty, which means she’s busy planning her next adventure!

Eloise Nichol

National Bookings Coordinator

Eloise's role is crucial to ensuring all campaigns are confirmed to go ahead, and any health and safety compliance measures are followed. Eloise is super creative and always has a project on the go. She loves traveling, being in nature, and wants to explore Arthurs Pass in the next year. She is a very driven person; her goals include building her dream home, living in Italy for a year, and building a successful career to support her future family.

Jisha Shaji Mathai

Auckland Regional Coordinator

Jisha has always loved being creative and collaborating with others, which is why she pursued a career in marketing. Jisha never shies away from a challenge, so joining our Auckland team will allow her to use her passion and enthusiasm to support Auckland’s Brand Ambassadors to be the best they can be. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with loved ones and engaging in spur-of-the-moment activities like taking short trips or watching movies. Jisha aspires to travel and experience extreme sports like parasailing, paragliding, and skydiving.

Ani Zhang

Auckland Regional Coordinator

Since moving to NZ, Ani has taken on a number of roles supporting people, which she really enjoys, and this makes her a perfect fit for her role within Orbit. She loves anything hands on and creative: jewellery making, paper sculpting, pottery etc. In her free time you'll find her hanging out with her fur babies (cats) or checking out the Auckland food scene with her husband and friends.

Veronica Ventura

Auckland Regional Coordinator

Veronica is the newest addition to our Auckland management team. Veronica has always been a people person and finding the most human aspect of a business really sparked her interest in Marketing. Work stuff aside, she enjoys the art of photographing people and the idea of freezing the memories of a certain time. But generally, she likes being busy, she likes having every hour of her day planned with different activities like reading, running, and spending time with people she loves.

Ellouisa McGrath

Christchurch Regional Coordinator

Pictured in her happy place, sitting on a beach in Punakaiki on the West Coast, Ellouisa is enjoying getting back to her grassroots after spending 30 years overseas, by going on road trips around the South Island and reconnecting with our beautiful country. Ellouisa loves walking and exploring trails on her days off. She is also an avid foodie and loves trying new restaurants with her partner in Christchurch’s amazing food and restaurant scene. Ellouisa has an extensive career in customer service and loves making people feel valued and comfortable, which makes her perfect for the Christchurch Regional Coordinator role.

Tracey Davey

Talent Recruitment

Tracey started with Orbit as a Brand Ambassador in Picton who showed her dedication to the team, by travelling to Christchurch when needed. Tracey’s enthusiasm to help, lead her to become a welcomed part of the team as Orbit’s Talent Recruiter.
