Mamamia signs Danielle Rigg-Smith as NSW Sales Director

After three years in the UK, Danielle Rigg-Smith is heading back to Australia to take up the NSW Sales Director role at Mamamia.

Fresh from partnership lead roles with Pinterest, Snap and TikTok, Danielle is bringing more than 20 years of industry experience, most recently overseas, scaling partnerships across digital and audio media to now, Australia’s most trusted women’s digital publisher.

“I’m thrilled to be joining Mamamia at such a pivotal time, as the business enters an exciting new evolution of its brands and platforms," Danielle said. 

"Mamamia offers something special for advertisers in being such a trusted environment where audiences actively choose to listen, watch and engage with content they love.

“Having led teams across some of the world’s leading digital platforms in Europe and Australia, I’m looking forward to bringing that experience home to help grow both existing and new partnerships across the Mamamia ecosystem. 

"Even in my first few days, it’s clear there’s a serious ambition to challenge the status quo, drive meaningful change and take the business to the next level. There's something magical about that kind of purpose.”

Danielle joins Mamamia at a time of growth, as more brands look to be part of the conversations Australian women are having right now. She'll lead NSW partnerships across some of Australia's top performing podcasts and the deep ecosystems around them, including Mamamia Out Loud, helping brands tap into culture as it happens.

She's done standout partnership work at TikTok, Snap and Pinterest over the years, and she brings a real passion for people and partnerships to everything she does.
