Angela catalan

Product Marketing Strategist / Design Thinking / Photographer



Hello //



I'm obsessed with bringing great ideas to life.



Based in Sydney, Australia



"Angela is one of the most active and motivated marketing people I have worked with. There is nothing I can imagine she will not be able to achieve."



Franz Krauth, Group IT Manager at RedHill Education



"Angela' people skills are of a very high standard, she is always approachable and willing to help out where she can. Angela always has the best interests of the company in mind, putting a lot of time, effort and energy into making the company known publicly, to appear trendy, and elicit clients. Angela is also a good team player, she listens to what others have to say and takes their suggestions seriously, however she will advocate a good idea regardless of who originated it, and she will argue less supportive ideas if they don't meet up to the high standards that are expected."



Carl Turner, Digital Producer at Tectonic Digital



"It's rare to come across such a switched on and motivated individual as Angela. She has fantastic commercial acumen and her passion for digital marketing is highly evident. Angela's creative bone enables her to have a natural calling towards the world of entrepreneurship which she heavily invested into through various channels. Having the EQ to relate to people on a human level enables Angela to be a emerging leader in the industry."



Kurt Eilersen, Principal Consultant at Talent International​



"Angela is an absolutely inspiring professional! Extremely talented, knowledgeable and enthusiastic, she's the friendliest coworker, always willing to share her knowledge and succeed as a team. She's a natural leader and a strong team player. She simply takes ownership and gets things done, simple as that."



Cindy Lemes, Regional Marketing Manager at Academy of Information Technology



About //



As a 'big picture' thinker, I have a knack for picking up patterns in complex problems, and I am often found tinkering with new business ideas and crafty projects in my spare time.





I believe that nothing great is ever achieved by doing things the way they have always been done. I am proud of being the rebel of mediocrity, and I make it my mission to do better and think bigger in every facet of my life. I am driven by the big picture, and I love tinkering with ideas that have the potential to improve the lives of many.


So, what do I do? I help technology teams bring new products and ideas to market, by simplifying the complex and sharing a compelling story. I make it happen by reverse engineering the marketing strategies to visually and methodically break down the grand vision to its simplest forms. This process enables me to pull together a carefully thought out agile marketing strategy that brings results.


Outside of work, I am completing my MBA at the University of Sydney and dabble on my start-up project, Hudddle. Feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn or read my blog. You can also follow me on Instagram for photos of my cat and my weekend antics.

Why me?





Vision



I always start with the vision. What are you trying to achieve and why? Paint me a picture of the problems you're trying to solve, and what you want to create - so that I can break it down into achievable goals and make it happen.



Problem-Solving



I don't believe in doing anything without a clear purpose. I see marketing and product design as a science and believe that it plays a role in solving problems that it has the potential to improve the customer experience.



Strategic



I think and work like a business owner and identify opportunities to grow the business, the brand, whether indirectly or directly related to the project at hand. I find joy in pulling pieces of jigsaw puzzle together to create a big picture.



Hands on



I enjoy rolling up my sleeves and getting into the nitty gritty of design, yet my goal is ultimately to be a 'thought-leader' and provide strategies that are realistic and executable ideas.



Collaborative



I believe best ideas are born in a team environment where skills and knowledge are leveraged from each other. I work exceptionally well across all key functional teams, and have worked with many senior stakeholders.



Ambitious



I don't like to settle with "good enough"; I'm constantly striving for more. I always look for opportunities to grow and make a difference, and aren't afraid to take risks when I believe in what it could be.
