Jacinta Manivong

Jacinta has over a decade of international experience in branding, marketing, media content and communications. She is our resident marketing coordinator and social media guru.

Jacinta has worked with a range of industry clients from commercial to environmental advocacy and healthcare. Her work touches on copywriting and content creation, targeted messaging, aligning business objectives with tactical communication activities, and figuring out the right media channels.

Jacinta has a knack for bringing stories with purpose to life through storytelling and visuals. She leans towards campaigns that are born out of insight, promote a brand, and also do good. This is perhaps best exemplified in her previous work at Kathmandu for their campaign ‘Helpful or Harmful’ — a docuseries that saw Jacinta travel around the world, investigating the issues of unsustainable travel and over-tourism that impact much of the world. As well as shedding light on these issues, the series asks travellers to really assess the way they travel and how they can do better.

Jacinta is interested in embedding socially-considered business practices so that products and services can create positive impacts on many fronts. In her 'spare' time, Jacinta runs monthly social speed dating events in Melbourne for the LGBTQI+ community, and the straight and bisexual communities.

Jacinta has a Bachelor of Business, with a major in Advertising. She also works as a student mentor at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, preparing students for a career in marketing and sharing her professional experience and learnings.
