Pead has expanded their corporate team, naming Kimberley Ross-Guildford as their first South Island-based consultant. Based in Queenstown, Kimberley was previously at the Queenstown Lakes District Council as Senior Communications Advisor. Before that, she held roles at Immunisation Advisory Centre (IMAC) and Blind Low Vision NZ.

Louisa Kraitzick, Partner of Corporate & Digital, said Kimberley is no stranger to the agency, having worked with Pead as a client twice before joining the team: “I had the privilege of working closely with Kimberley when she managed the communications for IMAC during the crucial Covid-19 vaccination rollout and while she was at Blind Low Vision NZ.

“She has an exceptional mind, and I’ve seen her excel through complex and high-pressure situations. We couldn’t be happier to have her join the team here at Pead, and she is already hitting the ground running with clients,”
