Profile - Angela Hallberg
Born in England, Angela has been in New Zealand since age 12.
She is married to Evan, who is a Director and Shareholder of Econobuilt Ltd, a construction company based in Takanini.
They have two children, Dylan (13) and Nicola (12) and divide their time between home in semi-rural Ramarama and the beach life in Pauanui.
Angela's passion for marketing was inspired at Carlson Marketing Group, a multi-national incentive marketing agency. In
her five years there, she formed close bonds with clients such as Shell New Zealand, Mazda, Sovereign Assurance and NZI Life.
Developing a working knowledge of print and production methods, she also
arranged photo shoots, ran conferencesand administered database marketing systems.
Coached by General Manager, Chris Bray, she became experienced at writing brochure copy and newsletters, designing teaser campaigns and writing motivational performance statements.
Her natural flair for language led to proposal development - working with clients to understand their goals and craft incentive programmes to meet their objectives.
As National Sales Manager at Budget Rent a Car, Angela was part of a team that literally turned the company’s profits around.
Under the management of Neil Mackay, she recruited and trained a fantastic sales team, selling solutions not products, then
as a company they backed them up with bold marketing and a customer focused network.
Working for Budget on contract from 1998 and free from the shackles that come
with staff, clients and the Head Office environment, she was able to tackle projects that had been in the too hard basket for too long. The creation of a Procedures Manual for frontline staff was one of
her most significant achievements during this time. This document was pivotal for the company, as without it franchise agreements were unenforceable. It was also a prerequisite for the company’s sale some years later to Cendant Corporation.
Outside of the work field Angela is Chairperson of the Board of Trustees at Ramamara School, is a keen runner, and enjoys boating and fishing.
Starting Oncall Communications in 2008, she is now able to share her
skills with small and medium sized businesses. Helping them achieve their
business goals for some entails the development of a full marketing plan, for others a little help with copywriting or proofreading is all that is needed.

Working with the rural division manager at Econobuilt, we identified a potential niche market in the equestrian industry. Together we came up with a brand name, constructed a marketing plan and engaged a graphic designer to develop a logo. Brochures, website, branded clothing, etc, were launched at the Horse of Year Show in 2011, and a PR and advertising campaign followed the appointment of a dedicated equestrian salesperson. |
![Indesco logo](Images/client logos/Indesco_OrangeBlock_RGB.jpg) |

In 2012 Econobuilt sold the Harrison Lane brand after deciding to focus on the commercial division of the company. We are currently rebranding this commercial division as Indesco, with a progressive rollout planned for the beginning of 2013. This includes the development of a new website as well as a complete re-imaging of the company’s stationery, site signage and all proposal documents. |
