We are Flourish.

Jacoba began her marketing career uncovering strategic insights through market research — a skill that sparked her passion for discovering the core direction behind successful products and brands. This focus on purposeful strategy has shaped her career ever since.

With senior marketing roles at Coles, Kmart, the Department of Human Services, and leading ad agencies such as Leo Burnett and Saatchi & Saatchi, Jacoba has developed integrated campaigns across every major communication channel. Her work has helped hundreds of brands grow their presence and impact — both in consumer markets and within organisations.

Drawing on everything she learned from large corporates (the wins and the pitfalls), Jacoba founded Flourish over 15 years ago to offer practical, fractional marketing support for small to medium-sized businesses. Her hands-on, results-driven approach became the foundation of Flourish — where strategy is built quickly, grounded in experience, and most often brought to life through tangible outputs.

Flourish stands apart from typical marketing agencies by focusing less on digital tactics and more on physical brand expression — including unique, often OEM-designed merchandise that sparks connection and memorability.

Jacoba also brings a strong sense of purpose to her work. She has been involved with The Salvation Army from a young age, and under her leadership, Flourish continues to support charities including the Brain Foundation and Beyond Blue.

Louise played a key role in developing the tangible marketing arm at Flourish, which launched in 2009. Thanks to strong relationships with existing clients and their international divisions, the unique Flourish Factor offering was introduced to the UK in 2012, bringing a fresh, creative approach to branded merchandise.

With an “anything is possible” mindset (and a track record to prove it), Louise has built a long-standing and ever-growing list of loyal clients, some of whom have partnered with her for over 18 years. She’s most at home pacing the aisles of far-flung trade shows in search of the next great piece of tangible marketing and the majority of her travel has been dedicated to uncovering the new, the unusual, and the unexpected in merchandise innovation across the globe.

Her sharp eye for creative detail and commitment to finding the perfect product have earned her multiple industry accolades, including the prestigious Platinum Award, considered the ‘Oscar’ of the promotional world.

Outside of work, Louise enjoys countryside walks, photography, travel, good food and wine. She is a proud geocacher and self-declared memomagnetist (yes, she collects branded magnets, and no, she’s not stopping anytime soon).
