Michelle Alo
Project Management Assistant

Job Title
Project Management Assistant
Michelle is the go-to support for the Project Managers, keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes.
At first glance, she might seem a bit shy and reserved, but don’t be fooled—once you get to know her, her fun-loving and slightly crazy side shines through.
A few things about Michelle:
- She’s a café-hopping enthusiast who loves hanging out with friends but equally treasures her solo time.
- Music isn’t just a passion—it’s a talent. She can play the guitar, piano, and ukulele like a pro.
- Despite not knowing how to swim, she finds the beach the perfect place to relax and recharge.
- A book lover with a twist: she’s as passionate about buying books as she is about taking her sweet time to finish them.
- A mobile gaming fan who thrives on strategy, a bit of competition, and, of course, some cheeky trash talk.
We bring a lot to the table
With personalised skill sets spanning design, advertising, sales, calligraphy, dj-ing, rapping and small, fixed-wing aircraft piloting, we bring a lot to the table (most of it useful), and are always on the hunt for a road less travelled and a solution that no one saw coming.
Our Story
From the kitchen bench to the world 🌎
- Humanising marketing communciations
- Taking customer engagement seriously
- 4 years later Neighbourhood is born
- Neighbourhood continues to grow year on year
Humanising marketing communciations
- Big businesses aren't good at humanising their marketing communications. It was a realisation that came quickly to Trav, a man with a solid background in sales and who had previously owned a creative agency.
- How could such successful companies be doing such a garbage job of treating their customers like actual people?!
Taking customer engagement seriously
- Setting out with a laptop, a phone and the skills learnt from years as a salesman, Trav wanted to encourage businesses to look at customer engagement seriously, to stop just following the herd and start communicating naturally. In short, to be real.
4 years later Neighbourhood is born
- 4 years later, after working with over 134 different clients, Trav decided it was time to fully commit; to refocus his own business on the same goal he’d helped so many other brands achieve. Neighbourhood was born as a force to inspire deeper, more meaningful communication between brands and their people, wherever they may be.
Neighbourhood continues to grow year on year
- It has proved to an inspiration sorely needed, as Neighbourhood continues to grow year on year. By focusing on professional development internally and continuous development for our clients, Neighbourhood is personalising, automating and helping more brands than ever before. Neighbourhood is here to help brands solve their customers problems, not sell to them.
