Amelia cranfield
founder and director
With over 16 years of recruitment experience, Amelia cut her teeth in the digital industry in London. She worked for some of the UK’s top media, publishing, and communication talent agencies before specialising in recruitment for digital marketing, e-commerce and digital media roles.
In early 2014, Amelia co-founded a successful digital talent agency in London and led the team to great success. They handled recruitment for some of the world’s leading brands and online businesses, agencies and trading desks, and publishers. She also made it a priority to develop an extensive, international network of Kiwi ex-pats working within the digital industry.
In mid-2017, Amelia sold her share of the business and brought her digital recruitment skill-set home to New Zealand. After a few months travelling the world, Amelia launched Campfire Digital Recruitment in 2018. She is now focused on building the Auckland-based business and delivering an exceptional recruitment experience to candidates and clients alike.
