A bit about me –

Natalie Carmichael

When you deal with Carmichael Creative, you’re getting one-on-one, genuine, enthusiastic support from me, the owner and operator.

I love helping people like you take their big ideas and turn these into relatable, achievable plans to make marketing and communications activities fun and attainable.

I also love to write. Collating your thoughts and finding just the right words to describe you and attract your customers is what I enjoy. My clients would describe me as friendly, efficient, knowledgeable and someone who uses initiative.

As a school leaver, I ventured south to the University of Waikato, where I studied a Bachelor of Communication Studies. I met my husband at university, and upon graduating joined him in the Bay of Plenty and began my career as a copywriter and photographer for a tourism marketing agency in Mount Maunganui. We both returned to Hamilton, where I spent five years as a public relations and marketing coordinator at the University of Waikato.

Family ties brought me back to Whangarei where I spent nearly four years as the marketing coordinator for innovative construction company, Donovan Group.

Carmichael Creative was created after parental leave with my eldest son. Now as a Mum of two boys, the company allows me to do what I enjoy while being there for my young family. 

“Working with Natalie was an absolute pleasure. From start to finish, she was patient, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. She took the time to understand our vision for the MahiPlus website and turned it into something we are genuinely proud of.”
