Joel Foffani, marketing and creative leader in Tasmania

Hi, I’m Joel Foffani.

Award-winning Marketing,
Brand & Creative Leader.

TASMANIA, AU

ABOUT ME

For more than two decades, I’ve built brands, led and managed creative and marketing teams, and delivered campaigns for organisations across Tasmania, Australia and internationally.

I started my career in creative and design, which eventually took me into creative direction, leadership, and broader marketing and communications roles. Along the way, I’ve been lucky enough to work with some incredible people and some of the world’s most recognised brands and properties, including Disney, Nike, the Olympic Games, Stan, Nine and Cartoon Network.

My experience spans marketing, communications, brand strategy and creative direction across entertainment, sport, media, technology, professional services and the community sector. I’ve led and managed multidisciplinary teams, major integrated campaigns and complex projects involving stakeholders from around Australia and across the world.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
“Joel combines empathetic, people-focused leadership with clear expectations and a strong focus on delivering results.”
Martin Skinner Head of Creative Services, Marketing | Stan/Channel Nine
“I have learnt so much from Joel during my time working with him, and even after everything he has taught me, I feel there is still so much more I could learn from him.”
Hayley Tatnell Marketing Coordinator | The People Project Tasmania
“Any marketing team would be fortunate to have Joel as their leader. He brings experience, creativity and genuine care for his people, and has a rare ability to bring out the best in those around him.”
Nick Donkin Director | Cartoon Network

That creative background still shapes the way I work today. I love big ideas and great creative, but I’m equally interested in the strategy behind them, the people who make them happen and, most importantly, whether the work actually connects with its audience.

These days, I call Tasmania home. I’m also a dad, which keeps life busy, entertaining and puts plenty of things into perspective. Outside of the job titles and campaigns, I’m someone who genuinely enjoys creating things, solving problems, helping people grow and working with good people who care about what they do.

I’m proud of the career I’ve built so far, but I’m still curious, still learning and still excited by the opportunity to create work that means something.

If you think we could create something great together, have an opportunity you’d like to discuss, or just want to say hello, I’d love to hear from you.

Connect with me on LinkedIn or send me an email.
