Mary-Anne Amies

Founder & CEO

Experience: With a business and marketing career spanning over 20 years, I have extensive experience working in industries including Skincare, Beauty, Apparel Product Development & Retailing, for some of Australia’s most loved brands. I was always hungry to learn and experience first-hand the inner workings of businesses, and went straight into full-time work out of school while studying my Bachelor of Business.

Launching my own digital agency in 2010 allowed me to leverage my big business experience to focus on creating opportunities for small businesses, maximising what was then an emerging marketing approach, but today mainstream marketing.

Passion: My passion is providing solutions to small business owners, that motivate and inspire them. I feel personally rewarded by seeing the businesses we support grow. I am endlessly passionate about the digital landscape and the cost-effective impact it can make. Equally my passion extends to supporting up-and-coming digital marketers to get a solid grounding in strategic digital marketing, in an environment that nurtures them to be their best, and values them as individuals.

Interesting fact: I loved studying drama, music and performance throughout high school. I can play a range of musical instruments (although am pretty rusty these days) and have performed on stage in plays and musicals – something I hope to get back to one day.

Our Digital Marketing Team​

Mikayla Brooksby

Digital Marketing Specialist

Experience: I have been with Wise Up Marketing for over three years, developing my skills in digital marketing formed from a passion for aesthetically pleasing social media schedules that create connections with their ideal client.

A digital native, I love seeing strategy come to life across video, photo and content, working from a vision through to execution, supporting businesses to effectively leverage all the digital opportunities.

Passion: Creating aesthetically pleasing social media schedules for our clients and transforming the look and feel of their business from a social media aspect. I really love the diverse range of clients we support as it allows me to broaden my knowledge. I enjoy working in a team environment as it allows everyone to collaborate ideas and learn new things from each other.

Interesting fact: When I was 14 years, I did BMX racing for two years and played Women’s AFL for 3 years starting when I was 16.

Niamh Steenson

Account Executive

Experience: A results-driven advertising & marketing professional with a strong educational background having graduated with a Bachelor of Business in Marketing Degree from Munster Technological University in 2021.

I have 5 years’ experience within the advertising and marketing industry and have worked within a variety of industries including, start-ups, cafes, media, and hotels.

Passion: I have a passion for helping businesses thrive in the ever-evolving digital landscape. I enjoy discovering a company’s genuine purpose and goal to then customising creative design work to suit each client’s needs.

Interesting fact: I have always been terrified of heights and decided to push myself out of my comfort zone and completed a skydive over the Palm in Dubai – It was one of the most amazing, yet scariest experiences that I have ever done. It has shown me that anything is possible once you put your mind to it and push yourself out of your comfort zone!

Pamela Papadatos

Social Media Executive

Experience: Ambitious digital marketing enthusiast with 5+ years industry experience in driving engaging and innovative campaigns.

With expertise in content creation, social media, email marketing and brand management, I help brands build meaningful connections with their audience across multiple platforms.

Passion: I’m deeply passionate about the power of social media to connect people, tell stories and drive brand success. I thrive on crafting content that not only resonates with audiences but also helps build a beautiful, cohesive grid that reflects the brand’s personality and style.

Interesting fact: I’m really into health and fitness, love exploring sunny destinations around the world, and am a huge dog lover. I also ran my own small business as a Lash Artist for three years, which taught me invaluable skills in entrepreneurship and client care.

Maddie Donnelly

Agency Coordinator

Experience: I have over 4 years focusing on business administration but have also worked across sales, fundraising and small grants.

After completing my HSC in 2016 I started a traineeship, specifically studying Certificate III in Business. Starting as a receptionist, I have worked my way up to sales coordinator allowing me to gain more knowledge around new industries and businesses. Working at a charity also gave me the opportunity to expand my knowledge with the opportunity to continue my professional growth.

Passion: Supporting small businesses has always been a passion of mine as I have family members who run their own. I have seen the ‘ins and outs’ of what it takes and the pressure of it all. I strive for great customer service and enjoy seeing the end results when hard work has paid off!

Interesting fact: I’ve completed a service trip to Nepal, helping rebuild a school after the 2015 earthquake.

I also love trying new things, whether it’s learning to crochet or going skydiving. Anything crafty is always fun for me but I’m also a thrill seeker.

Johannah Lim

I am also taking up my Masters degree in Business Analytics in order to support my growth in Digital Marketing.

Passion: I am all about learning and self-improvement may it be professionally or even just personal goals. I try to do something new everyday and try to absorb all the wisdom and knowledge from people around me.

Interesting fact: I actually wanted to be an artist when I was younger but now it developed into a hobby. I started with a pen/pencil & paper art then eventually tried doing some digital art as well. I actually haven’t gotten the chance to practice lately but it is definitely something I would come back to from time to time.
