Tim Ellet - Managing Director



Tim arrived in New Zealand in 2004, moving from Dubai in the Middle East. He has over 10 years experience at Board level within UK FTSE 100 listed communications group WPP, including three years as European Director at Landor Associates, the leading brand consultancy and design agency, before setting up and running their Middle East operations as Regional Managing Director in Dubai for a further three years.

His blue chip client base includes full brand programmes for four major Middle East banks as well as destination branding experience at government level in Al Ain (Abu Dhabi), Jordon, and more recently in Saudi Arabia and Oman. Closer to home he has led major brand programmes for the creation of a new apartment, hotel and resort complex in Tutukaka, Northland and created the interactive experience at Kelly Tarlton's.

As the strategy director for all major clients, Tim has helped Gartner Superlux increase their market penetration of both the New Zealand and Australian markets and played a pivotal role in helping them win a major government tender.

 

Working with the family owners of Penberthy Insurance, Tim has helped the Board define a clear vision and growth strategy and the 3i team is actively engaged in helping Penberthy’s delivery on that vision.

 

A member of Mentors New Zealand, Tim also provides coaching and mentoring to small businesses on the North Shore and Rodney.
