​Mike Collins started his marketing journey with a humble meat raffle poster for his family’s country pub. Schnitty nights, happy hours, footy tipping, you name it, young Mike was on the job. But it wasn’t just about schnitzels and schooners. A high school teacher sparked his passion for social justice, and he’s carried that curiosity for ideas, issues, and community impact ever since.
 

Fast forward to today, Mike is a seasoned marketing and communications leader with over 20 years of experience in the for-purpose sector, working in Sydney, London, and Newcastle. 
 

• Mike's expertise includes

• team leadership

• coaching and mentorship

• marketing and communications strategy

• stakeholder collaboration

• brand management

• professional communication

• paid media planning and agency management

• end-to-end campaign execution

• digital/social innovation

• market research

• internal communications.
   

Mike uses his expertise and yes, even his ‘white guy-ness’ to amplify others’ voices and drive meaningful change. He works, volunteers, parents, and even sweats for the greater good.

 

Right now he is living in Newcastle with partner Sarah, son Morris, cats (Burrito and Taco) and dog (Kuma).
 

If you’re looking for someone all about people, purpose, and pragmatic progress, Mike’s your guy.
 

Together, let’s make good happen:
