PROFILE

1.

SHOW BUSINESS is run by Cath Martin.

My background is in retail, buying and general management. I started out on the sales floor, then became an owner-operator and later moved into leadership roles in boutique and matrixed businesses.

Today I work as an operations generalist with independent brands and studios. I help founders and lean teams with planning, market pipeline, customer service and client communications in:

—Fine jewellery —Sculpture —Fashion —Design

APPROACH

2.

I manage everything back of house.

This includes production, suppliers, workstreams, cross-coordination, administration and compliance.

My aim is to free up bandwidth for creative work by bringing consistency to core functions, bridging resource gaps and putting practical steps in place to move from concept to output.

That usually means:

—Identifying goals: purpose, method —Clarifying processes: inputs, parameters —Centralising & tracking information —Integrating systems: analogue to digital

WORK OPTIONS

3.

I'm currently based in Melbourne and available to work on-site here, in Sydney, or remotely.

My approach is collaborative and tailored to each client's pace, priorities, and back-of-house setup (whether analogue, digital, a combination, or phasing over).

I like to start with a conversation to understand what you need help with and see if we’re a good fit.
