Anna Mitchell
Director of Insights & Strategy
Linkedin

Anna has recently joined Sprout Strategy as Head of Strategy and Insights, bringing considerable commercial expertise and a passion for creating narratives, based on insights, that drive meaningful change.  She has considerable research and consumer insights experience in working for both agencies and clients, across a multiple and diverse range of industries and campaigns.

After graduating with a Bachelor of Business, majoring in marketing and IT management, Anna immediately began her career when she started working for a market research agency.  She spent a number of years travelling around the country doing qualitative research for a range of companies including nappy manufacturers, lottery agencies, food companies and financial institutions.

She then switched to the client side when she joined the insights team at Suncorp. She observed that despite the great work being done on generating insights, much of it was not being applied to improving the business and opportunities were being lost. This realisation has fuelled her passion for connecting insights to strategy that, in turn, drive behavioural change.

She also became very focused on activating insights that improved the employee experience as well as the customer experience. She believes the industry, as a whole, needs to become better at activating insights and leveraging data to create compelling narratives that help elevate the customer and promote customer centricity.

In her spare time, Anna loves to cook. She finds that cooking is a great way to relax and overcome stress. Someday, Anna has a dream of moving to the country to raise animals on a farm as well as become self-sufficient and setup a bed and breakfast.
