JESSICA

"Our MFWF Angel. Your energy and creativity was amazing." Stephanie Dore Smith. Former Global Brand Manager, Victoria Wines, TWE.

Welcome to Borrowed Space, I’m Jessica; an experiential, event and marketing specialist based out of Melbourne.

Landing my dream job straight out of uni, at a UK experiential agency run by ex-Glastonbury Producer Kerstin Shields; I was given the best start to my career. Fast forward almost 2 decades, and my work has taken me to over 6 different countries to produce everything from large scale integrated marketing campaigns to website roll outs, sports sponsorship to retail activation's; media launches to intimate gigs; live events and much, much more.

With a sense of adventure, I made the move to Australia in 2010, where I took on roles in both marketing and events. Learning a more integrated approach fuelled my love of strategy - of designing campaigns and events that had genuine purpose and value. This passion continues to resonate through the work that I produce today and spurs me to take every experience to the next level – whether it be a simple awe-inspiring, insta-worthy space or a fully-fledged sponsorship campaign.

With a “never stop learning” attitude, my career took an interesting turn when I started working at an interactive experiential agency. While other people were dipping their toes into gamification, I was diving in head first. Learning how to curate and develop interactive digital experiences, cross manage multiple departments and integrate technological hardware seamlessly into builds.

It was this diverse experience that landed me the job of Director of Experiential at Graffiti, part of the WPP Network.

 

A few years passed and like many, I started to realise that the higher up the ladder I got, the further away I got from the things I loved. I craved the freedom to choose the brands, the projects and the people I wanted to work with; the ones that mirrored my values and creatively inspired me. So, after a much needed 6-month trip surfing Sri Lanka and travelling Africa, I decided to trust my gut and give it a go on my own. And here lies the birth of Borrowed Space.

6 years on and although my "jack of all trades" experience is still prevalent there's no denying my passion for and expertise in creative production remains - and I can't wait to see where the next 6 years takes me!
