UnLtd Aotearoa, the social purpose organisation for the media, marketing and creative industry in New Zealand has appointed Sheryl Dunlop as their new General Manager.
Dunlop brings over 20 years of experience in marketing and communications both from client and agency side as well as a deep passion for making a difference for our rangatahi.

Prior to this she was the Head of Marketing at Whakarongorau Aotearoa and General Manager Brand & Communications at NZME.
UnLtd launched their Aotearoa operation 18 months ago to bring the advertising industry together to support charities helping young Kiwis at risk.

Based in Auckland, Dunlop’s key focus is to continue to create partnerships between our industry and UnLtd Aotearoa’s charity partners, to help raise awareness and funds for the young Kiwis they support.
She will also continue to grow UnLtd’s Mediabook fundraising program as well as the UnLtd Events such as the Big Clash cricket tournament, UnLtd Open golf day and UnLtd: Dodgeball competition.
Born in Auckland with Tongan and Fijian-Indian ancestry, Dunlop has also spent the last two years studying tikanga and te reo Māori at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa.
Dunlop says: “I’m so excited to be joining UnLtd Aotearoa and combining my marketing skills and media connections with my passion for diversity, equity & inclusion. We have some big issues to tackle to support our rangatahi but I know firsthand the power that our industry can have when we work together.”
