Kalinski brings more than 20 years of agency and client-side experience and boasts solid performance marketing credentials and prowess. Prior to joining NP Digital, Kalinski served as CEO of iProspect and Dentsu’s integrated performance division in Australia and most recently Canada. Kalinski has extensive experience in overseeing the expansion of agency teams across the UK, Australia and Canada and has worked for brands such as NAB, HSBC, Hollard, Woolworths, Holden, Microsoft, Hermes, and Australia Post.

A key priority for NP Digital’s Australian division is bringing integrated e-comm solutions to the Australian marketplace. This year alone, the agency has delivered more than 800 million “ready-to-buy” visitors to clients’ websites across US, UK, Brazil and Australia. This is made possible through a combination of the agency’s Search, Social, CRM and E-com capabilities. The Australian office offers a competitive advantage of having no analogue legacy and expensive overheads, allowing it to deliver U.S. expertise and market leading results at an accessible cost to Aussie businesses.
