The Team

Tanya Trower

Senior Communications Advisor/ Director

As a senior communications advisor and founder/ managing director of Black Belt, I’ve always enjoyed developing solutions, and the journey of an idea coming to fruition. It’s the reason I studied communications and have developed over 20 years in communications and public relations.

I’m passionate about developing authentic brands that connect powerfully with their stakeholders for success – working collaboratively with responsive, results-driven professionals to draw out the ideas that matter to drive business growth.

I have a natural and well-developed business acumen supported by a raft of finely tuned skills – from media strategy/ relations, communications and content strategy, to enhancing digital presence. In action this means a successful track record developing and executing innovative strategies to achieve targeted results – from improved perception to striking business growth and enhanced revenue.

Rachael Jupp

Senior Graphic Designer

I’m a senior graphic designer with over 10 years’ experience working across agencies, corporate marketing teams, government, and small businesses throughout New Zealand and Australia.

I enjoy turning complex information into clear, engaging, and genuinely useful resources. Whether it’s campaign creative, a brand system, or a learning resource, I shape ideas into visual solutions that
are purposeful, and practical.

I’ve partnered with corporate, non-profit, and government clients, delivering everything from recruitment campaigns, and learning resources to campaign assets, brand development, and internal communications materials.

Seeing my work directly support learning, safety, and positive community outcomes has been incredibly rewarding. I’m motivated by projects where design plays a clear role in building capability — creating resources that not only engage, but support real understanding and action.

Our Creative Network

The quality of our work is in part due to the professional network of complementary skills we engage. Our solutions require an ability to translate strategy into powerful communication.

“Working collaboratively on projects with Black Belt Communications is a great way to boost creativity – Working as a team we have broader cumulative knowledge as a base. More minds means more ideas. We motivate one another to think in new and diverse ways, which pushes the project to higher levels – achieving over and above what individual effort could have achieved.

When I collaborate on a project with Black Belt I know the project will be highly organised, with thorough briefing and fantastic communication throughout. This means I can focus my time and energy on doing what I do best – ‘designing’. Benefits to the client include greater productivity, higher quality and faster delivery of a project.”
