Renka Harris

Renka spent the first six years of her life being shuttled between the eastern states of Australia and Sri Lanka, although Perth has been home base for the past 20 years. Renka completed her Mass Communications (Journalism & Marketing) degree via correspondence whilst working throughout South-East Asia.

During her time in Singapore and Hong Kong, Renka worked as a PR consultant for boutique branding and PR agencies for clients including Mercedes Benz, Sunseeker Luxury Yachts, BCBG Max Azria, Perles de Tahiti, Rolls Royce and Hong Kong Trade Development Council.

Before joining Block, Renka spent three years helping manage one of Western Australia’s largest accounts, the Royal Automobile Club (RACWA). During this time, Renka also spent three months on secondment to the RACWA as a Communications Manager, an experience that gave her invaluable insight into life on ‘the other side’. Working on such a large account gave her extensive experience in planning, production and implementation of campaigns across diverse and innovative media and communication channels.

Over Renka’s eight years within the marketing and communications industry, she has worked across a vast diversity of sectors, including; automotive, insurance, finance, government, youth marketing, sponsorship and community education. As Account Director, Renka is responsible for the management of client relationships through strong, close communications.

Renka enjoys traipsing the Nepalese highlands while gaining strange and exotic eating habits, which are often seen replicated in the Block kitchen.
