Jo Mackie
SENIOR BID WRITER & COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER
I love the process of bid writing – part art, part science – and the challenge of supporting our clients to share their great mahi through a winning tender or award entry.
Core skills
Bid and award submissions writing, content creation, communications and marketing strategy, branding, stakeholder communication, workshop facilitation.
Jo is a communications professional with 25 years of experience in communications, marketing, and bid writing for various public and private sector organisations across New Zealand, England, and Singapore.
Jo enjoys being part of a business with strong values, and loves supporting clients to succeed. She is a superb writer known for her ability to write clear and compelling content.
Prior to joining Height, Jo led successful communications campaigns for local and central Government agencies. Key projects included an awareness campaign about waste management, an affordable housing campaign within a large-scale development programme in Auckland, and destination marketing to attract visitors to New Zealand. She worked in Aotearoa’s tourism sector for a significant portion of her career, where she harnessed her love for New Zealand and supporting sustainable tourism.
Jo is a strong leader with a warm, enthusiastic communication style. She has an innate ability to establish rapport with people quickly and build strong working relationships.
Outside her mahi, Jo enjoys yoga, walking, swimming in the ocean (even in winter!) and spending time with her young son and whānau.
