Hariet Waffenschmidt, hailing from Germany, has been calling New Zealand home for over 17 years, residing in Raglan.
Armed with a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Media and Communications, Hariet kicked off her career as an online sports journalist. Fast forward to 2004, and she completed a degree in E-Commerce at the University of Waikato, where she subsequently worked as an in-house digital marketer for over 8 years, gaining invaluable skills and experiences. This paved the way for the inception of her digital marketing consultancy Digital Blueprint.
With now over 14 years' experience in the digital performance marketing environment, her expertise spans across diverse industries, including real estate, higher education, e-commerce, agriculture, not-for-profits, professional services, to name a few, where she assists businesses (B2C and B2B) to increase their online visibility, improve internal efficiency and most importantly grow revenue.
Her key strengths lie in digital strategy and execution, social media and Google advertising, and web data analysis.
When she's not crafting killer digital marketing strategies, you'll find Hariet on Raglan's trails and beaches and most of all spending time with her family and naughty Jack Russel Skip.
