PPDS has announced that they have appointed a new event marketing specialist to its North American team.

Nicole Rutherford, who started her career as a teacher, transitioned into B2B marketing in 2021, specialising in project management, stakeholder communications, event execution, and more.

With a proud track record in delivering growth to local and international organisations, Nicole is also the co owner of a successful family fishing business, utilising her professional marketing skills – through digital and physical means – to drive awareness and support the growth of a successful tackle shop and charter business.

Ms Rutherford said: “I am delighted to have become part of the PPDS family and to join the incredibly talented team on the next stage of the company’s growth journey.”

“While I’m new to the AV industry in a formal sense, I bring extensive hands on experience with technology and events that translates well to professional AV marketing. Much of my career has been centred around leading initiatives, guiding teams through change, coordinating large scale educational events, developing digital and social content, and translating technical information into clear, audience focused messaging. It feels like all my experience and everything I’ve learnt to date has been leading to this point.”

Megan Lipinczyk, director of North America Marketing at PPDS, said: “Since walking through the door, Nicole has demonstrated a highly organized, proactive, and detail driven approach to marketing execution, with core strengths in event planning, cross functional communication, and attention to detail.
