Our Team
Rod McKenzie
Owner
Rod completed a degree in Applied Science with a major in computing methods. He’s worked many jobs in the IT industry and also has sales & marketing experience. With Karen, he started Think Local Digital in 2015 after running a local newspaper.
He has a wealth of practical knowledge when it comes to helping SME’s grow their online presence.
Being an avid tennis player who is very competitive he spends a lot of his free time on the court. He finds no more enjoyment than beating young ‘up- and-coming’ players who think he’s an ‘old hack’.
Growing up on a farm in Gippsland he has lots of scars. Example – his younger brother cut off his little finger with a tomahawk while ‘chopping wood’.
When not in front of a computer he can be found walking the family dog ‘Diesel’.
He’s been married to Karen for over 20 years and has 3 beautiful kids.
Karen McKenzie
Client Manager
Karen worked in a variety of industries including hospitality, shipping, fundraising for NRMA Careflight and more before moving into advertising and marketing for small business and tradespeople.
She and Rod began Think Local Digital in 2015 after several years of running a paper advertising product. As a client manager her duties include liaising with clients during website builds and Google Ads campaign set ups and management. She also does the invoicing and chasing up money. So if you are late paying bills, you’ll be talking to her a lot.
In her spare time she enjoys spending time with family and friends and loves hosting gatherings at home where everyone can mingle and catch up. She spends her Sunday mornings at Church where she volunteers in a few different capacities. She loves helping people.
She’s into Keto so don’t offer her anything with sugar or carbs – her willpower is questionable.

She has known both Rod & Karen for many years and couldn’t say no to a job offer back in 2018. With her undying need to shop online, surf the internet and analyse data, she has found the right job to match her hobbies.
Working for TLD gives Carrie the perfect work/life balance that is sought by many. She is the mum to two amazing kids living on the Queensland coastline and enjoying everything the perfect lifestyle has to offer.
In her spare time, she enjoys gardening, spending time outside and running around after the kids. She loves ‘Dad jokes’ and won’t hesitate to tell one if the opportunity presents itself.
