We ain’t your ordinary crew. In fact, this team is something pretty special.
The Kollective Playground duo met 14 years ago as corporate colleagues turned besties. We spent lunch breaks dreaming of our own creative businesses someday. Now we've reunited as a killer duo with perfectly complementary skills, putting our talents to work for podcast clients as team Kollective Playground.
Here we’re all about doing what we love in the world of podcasting, design and digital marketing, whilst helping you do the same.
With more than 8 years immersed in the podcast world, Rachelle's expertise is deeply rooted in audio production and digital storytelling. Creativity isn't just what she does—it's who she is, with a natural talent for transforming tiny "what if" sparks into something epic that resonates.
Podcasts became Rachelle's lifeline during her corporate career, with entrepreneurial shows serving as mentors when nobody around spoke that language. They ignited something she couldn't ignore, ultimately leading her to produce over 1,000 episodes and launch countless shows that create that same magic for others.
With her ear for audio, eye for design, and brain that sees potential in EVERYTHING, Rachelle brings that perfect blend of daydreamer vision and 'make shit happen' execution to every project she touches.

What matters to us
Human connection comes first
We bring the human back to the client experience and everything that we do. It's all about authenticity and genuine care, baby! In a world of quick fixes, we like to go old school. This isn't a journey to go alone. We're in your corner ready to jump in and help out whenever you need us. Human centred communication and support isn't just our jam, it's a non-negotiable.
Attention to detail
We go above to dot your I's and cross your T's. Some call it obsession, we call it attention to detail. We don't take your commitment to work with us lightly. We make sure that you get bang for your buck and so that you have 110% trust in our reliability so that you aren't up till midnight proofreading and finding things to fix. You know that we do our thing, and we do it damn well.
Commitment
We're committed to you, your podcast, and everything that you want to achieve from the get-go. We're no stage 5 clingers, we just freakin' believe in you! And in return, we expect our clients to make a commitment to the longevity of their show (it's a long game), giving new things a go, and trusting in our advice and feedback. Together, we can do some pretty amazing things.
Quality over quantity
Our clients aren't just numbers to us or money makers. We work with a smaller number of clients at any one time so that everyone gets the attention that they need and deserve. This is why we're able to make a bigger impact and form a close working relationship with our clients (and even friendships) that last years and years. It's agency work with boutique vibes.
Good times and good vibes
Putting the "Playground" in Kollective Playground. A place where we have fun in doing the things that we love and are great at. There's no place here for meaningless work. This is where creativity, sustainability, growth, impact, happiness, and great quality work collide. We're happy and friendly people who only want the absolute best for you and to have fun while doing it.
We don't lean back on feedback
And maybe a *little* tough love. But in a nice way, obvs. Whether something is great or needs a little work, we let our clients know because we want the best for you and your show. Feedback is a two-way street and an opportunity to learn and improve. What's that saying? "Feedback is the breakfast of champions". We agree, as long as it comes with hashbrowns and caffeine.
Want us on your team and in your corner?
Let's work together.
