Zoe Hawkins

Zoe Hawkins is a writer, host of Creative Juices (an open mic night for original spoken word and music) and founder of Brand+Butter (a creative agency for change). 

An internationally awarded copywriter, Zoe traded her life in agency land for the Lakes District some six years ago. She now uses her powers for good, bolstering regenerative businesses models with mindful marketing and supporting owners to become agents of change.

Outside of her nine-to-five, poetry and short stories provide an unfiltered creative outlet, a platform for talking about the weird stuff and the perfect ice-breaker for Creative Juices - 7pm, second Wednesday of every month at Rhyme and Reason. 

She is stoked to have two of her favourite pieces featured in mountain culture magazine, 1964 - ‘Wānaka Volunteer Firing Squad’ and ‘Living in a Cowboy’s Paradise’.

Zoe will be performing at the Festival of Nature event at the Wao Summit 2024.
