Digital Strategist, Online Entrepreneur and Senior PM, Alisdair Blackman

I have been in the digital industry in Australia since 1996. I specialise in strategy & planning, solution definition, technical specifications, procurement advisory, digital marketing & large scale project management. During this time, I have worked with some amazing talent – the most impressive and competent of which I have taken with me into Digital Rehab.

During my career, I have formed and ran a series of innovative, profitable and reputable digital marketing agencies and now have chosen the consulting path which offers me a greater ability to partner with my clients and to offer up far greater value.

Caralyne

Our Team
Caralyne Blackburn

I have worked in technology and project management for over 10 years and am a proactive self starter, can multitask better than most and effectively manage my own time. My communication, presentation skills are excellent and I look for the positive in all situations.

I have a keen interest in learning new things and keeping my skills up to date. The demands of my job are such that I am kept on my toes and I have learned to both proactively chase the heels of vendors and those where a dependency exists as well as to respond in a timely fashion to keep a project on track. I like to be challenged and am seldom kept unoccupied with my work. I’m just as comfortable leading a team as I am following a leader – whatever it takes to get the job done!
