ABOUT
OUR ROOTS.
Cactus House Agency is a full-service wholesale and marketing agency representing premium lifestyle brands across Australia and New Zealand.
As brand custodians, we act as an extension of the brands we represent — connecting them with the right retail partners, building strong relationships in market and driving sustainable wholesale growth.
Our strength lies in understanding the retail landscape, identifying the right opportunities and working closely with both brands and retailers to build long-term, commercially successful partnerships. Our marketing capability supports this, helping ensure each brand is represented consistently and effectively within the local market.
OUR MISSION IS TO BUILD LONG-TERM, SUSTAINABLE GROWTH FOR THE BRANDS WE REPRESENT.
Based on Sydney’s Northern Beaches and working across Australia and New Zealand, we live and breathe the lifestyle, fashion, surf and outdoor markets we operate within. We believe in being present — on the road, in stores and immersed in the communities surrounding our brands.
OUR TEAM.
MIKEY
Founder and Co-Owner of Cactus House, Mikey brings extensive experience across the youth fashion, surf and lifestyle industries.
Leading the agency’s sales division, he has built strong relationships with major and independent retailers across Australia and New Zealand. With a deep understanding of the retail landscape, Mikey focuses on finding the right fit between brands and retailers, then working closely with both to build long-term brand presence and drive sell-through.
With a particular interest in considered, ethical and sustainable brands, Mikey has a strong understanding of the lifestyle market and what it takes to build brands at retail.
He is also a big believer in getting beyond the buying office and onto the shop floor. Whether it’s hosting product nights, visiting stores or working directly with retail teams, Mikey loves getting staff engaged with the brands and products they’re selling.
You’ll also find him spending plenty of time on the road, travelling up and down the coast van between appointments — usually with a coffee in hand and one eye on the waves.
A natural connector, Mikey’s approach to business has always been relationship-led. Many of those relationships extend well beyond the showroom, with retailers, brand partners and friends often becoming part of the wider Cactus House community.
KIMBERLY
The other half and Co-Owner of Cactus House, Kim is an experienced sales and marketing specialist with a strong background across fashion and lifestyle brands.
Prior to launching Cactus House, Kim was part of the Wrangler Australia and New Zealand team, where she led marketing across a number of major brand initiatives including the Denim Exchange Project, Ocean Alley in Portugal and the Freedom Campaign — which was awarded VF’s APAC Best Marketing Award in 2019.
Since then, she has worked with brands including Wandering Folk, MINKPINK, Krystle Knight Jewellery and Nine Lives Bazaar across brand identity, marketing strategy and campaign development.
With experience spanning both sales and marketing, Kim’s approach has always been about finding the balance between building brand desirability and delivering a commercial outcome. She enjoys working closely with brands and retail partners to develop multi-channel campaigns that build awareness, connect with consumers and ultimately drive sales.
Outside of work, Kim is rarely sitting still. She loves travelling, road trips and spending time outdoors — whether hiking, swimming, snowboarding or practising yoga — usually with a camera close by documenting the people and places along the way.
Like the rest of Cactus House, Kim’s approach is highly relationship-driven, bringing together creativity, commercial thinking and a genuine understanding of how brands connect with both retailers and consumers.
