Kin Community Australia launched in September 2016 as a partnership between Kin Community and Allure Media. Kin Community uses short-form video, delivered predominantly via social media channels such as YouTube and Facebook, to inspire and inform young women with lifestyle content including food, home and self- improvement categories. The Kin Australia team works with leading brands and creators across the country to create original content targeted at millennial women on their journey to define home.

Ballard brings a wealth of experience in women’s lifestyle publishing, with 13 years’ experience in Sydney and London. Specialising in digital and print, Ballard has been at the forefront of the evolving media landscape, delivering creative commercial ideas and strategy to the market across lifestyle categories including fashion, beauty and auto.

Most recently Ballard was group brand manager, beauty and fashion at Pacific Magazines and previously honed her creative strategy skills in London by developing engaging content for the world’s premier luxury fashion destinations Net-A-Porter and MR PORTER.

Xu is a passionate digital marketer having worked most recently as the Australian marketing lead at British luxury brand Burberry and Ipoh shopping experiences.
