Christine Kearney takes up role of CEO for Powerhouse Digital

Christine Kearney, formerly GM & Marketing Director at Webb’s auction house, has been selected to take on the role of CEO for Powerhouse Digital.

Kearney’s appointment signals a new phase of growth and transformation for the agency, which has been making waves with its dynamic approach to digital marketing.

Incorporated in 2017, the company has rapidly grown from ambitious start-up to one of the leading operators in the digital marketing space in New Zealand.

Kearney says it is an honour to take up the role of CEO.

“I am very positive about the company and its future, and I look forward to working with the incredibly talented team and clients to drive the company to new heights.”

Powerhouse clients include Emma Lewisham, The Curve, Superette, Deadly Ponies, Canterbury Clothing, Nook, Walker and Hall and Flooring Xtra.

Kearney has a star-studded background, having held a succession of operationally focused leadership and marketing positions with highly distinguished brands.

Beginning her career in the luxury hotel industry, taking a project management and communications role at The Ritz London, she developed an incisive understanding of luxury brand marketing, press relations, and brand strategy. Returning to New Zealand, she took up senior leadership roles with Robertson Lodges which boast three luxury lodges in their portfolio, followed by Langham Hospitality Group adding to her already rich understanding of luxury brand management and client relations.

Kearney took her career in a new direction when she joined Auckland auction house, Webb’s in 2018.

Toss Grumley, Director, Powerhouse Digital says the growth Webb’s experienced while Kearney was at the wheel speaks for itself.

“Christine is an exceptional leader. This is especially evident in her most recent role at Webb’s, where she turned a niche brand to something well-known and widely recognised in a remarkably short period of time. She really understands brand and marketing, and her leadership abilities are impressive. I’m absolutely thrilled with her appointment as CEO.”
