I’m Margaret Brink Melbourne, a senior digital analytics professional with fifteen years of experience turning multi-source marketing data into commercial decisions. I’ve built and led analytics ecosystems across agencies, consultancies, and in-house teams—covering social media, platform analytics, campaign measurement, customer behaviour, and revenue forecasting. I’ve presented findings to CFOs and senior leaders, translating complex data into actionable strategies that drive growth. What sets my experience apart is my adaptability: thirteen years in social media analytics taught me to learn fast, spot patterns in new data sources, and apply analytical thinking to unfamiliar problems. I’ve worked across GA4, Firebase, Google Marketing Platform 360, and Adobe Analytics, spanning paid, owned, and earned channels in FMCG, retail, telecoms, and hospitality.
