Christine Gibbs

I'm Christine and my role is to develop the internal culture of the NZ team, attract quality talent and improve internal processes and communications.

I also manage three key partner accounts, as I didn't want to lose the ability to help great businesses with their marketing efforts, which I find is a real honour to do. 

I like to push the boundaries and keep an eye on new marketing trends to share with the team and TZO partners. With an ever-changing landscape in our line of business, it's important to keep on top of trends and ensure our partners are up to speed with everything too.

I’m a people person and an organizer, so I get great satisfaction out of helping you to achieve your business goals. Juggling multiple projects at the same time is our forte.

I love the variety at TimeZoneOne – no two days are the same. We have an amazing team who are very welcoming and friendly, and we hope that our spirit shows in our work. Every day I feel I learn something new, and we pride ourselves on being thought leaders, and sharing our knowledge and learning. Our mantra is to add value and share our learnings.

Right now, I’m particularly proud of the Alpine Pacific Touring Route brand story and website. The Alpine Pacific committee is made up of Regional Tourism Organisations and tourism businesses from Kaikoura, Hurunui and Christchurch including our partners Whale watch Kaikoura and Dolphin Encounter Kaikoura.

They’ve been very receptive to our ideas and feedback, and the whole team have been a pleasure to work with – it’s been a lot of fun! We look forward to meeting their goals and growing the Alpine Pacific’s fame.

I’m married to a lovely Englishman who I met in London, and after our first holiday in NZ he convinced me to move back to New Zealand! It took nearly three years but he got his wish. We have two beautiful boys – Ruben is six and such a sweet, sensitive boy; and Harrison is three and is known as Hurricane Harri in our house…

I’m a stickler for baking, so most weekends I try to make something yummy. Now that I have two boys I have competition to lick the bowl, so occasionally I’ll bake at night so I can indulge in a bit of guilty pleasure.

When I get a chance I like to exercise, going to the gym and running outside are my times to myself while doing something good for my body. Nothing beats the endorphin rush after a great workout!
