A message from our Founder

We’re in this industry, as a whole, because we love people… and genuinely live for them. 

We’re the keynote speaker you book that you hope with everything delivers on-stage [we always do. We’ve got “golden retriever/people lovin’ energy”, and it never-ever-doesn’t-land-on-stage].

Often, we even bring that same “retriever energy” into your boardroom when teams of marketing & comms professionals need the external facilitator to bring you all towards a stronger strategy… and sometimes weave in a little bit o’ mediation experience we’ve developed from over a decade of aligning teams, who’ve previously been in disagreement [it’s our special skill. #lol].

We’re that feeling of exhale for the person responsible for L&D spend, and all you want is x10 star ratings from your team in relation to the external person you’ve taken a punt on to upskill your team: that’s us. We’re the forever “exhale” feeling to L&D specialists, and we’re fluent in scoring the top star reviews from the team [psst… your teams usually beg for us to come back every 3/6/9/12 months].

We help functional teams propel their strategy forward.
We bring dysfunctional teams together again, and then propel them forward.

We have that refreshing point of difference where we, the facilitator, are still proudly “on the tools” [daily]… because the best teachers still do that ‘do’, and we do our do: expertly.

Fluent in eComm, service-based, government [having worked with almost every political party in Australia], councils [having worked with almost every Victorian council, and countless interstate councils, also], NFP, FMCG, Education [we’ve upskilled almost every marketing dept. at every Australian university], and more.

We’re in this industry, as a whole, because we love people… and genuinely live for them…

We win over every room we walk into, here's how...

We’ve trained over 1,000 different internal teams on social media and digital marketing strategies and implementation, and likely triple that number in how many marketing & comms professionals we’ve met within that same timeframe… and all of them roll into training with us either thinking;

I’m 10+ years into my career, what am I possibly going to learn? [spoiler alert: their jaw is on the floor within the first hour of training with us. #lol], or

I don’t have time for a full day away from the desk [oh, how we win the “busy bees” over within that same first hour, ha!], or

I’ve done a lot of PD on social media and digital marketing, and it’s always so dry and clinical [we hear ya. We used to sit in the same PDs. And this is why our curriculum is designed to surprise and delight, every step of the way].

Ultimately? Our training is designed with all of your goals in mind, of course, but expect a whole lot o’ surprise and delight as well when we: win over the naysay’ers, or we show the time poor that they’ll be considerably more time poor if they continue the way they’re going [without learning our very practical approach to overriding “hard” with “smart”], or the ultimate for us – and you – is that we bring teams together, even cross-departmentally, finally united, and equipped with the theoretical and practical knowledge as to how to move the needle on your strategy.

We’ve trained over 1,000 different internal teams on social media and digital marketing strategies and implementation…

Whether it's the boardroom, or the main stage as your next keynote speaker.

Whether you need us in a boardroom with your team, or your team offiste within our boardroom… or perhaps you need us on a big stage for your next [big] event, our custom team training and/or keynote speaking offerings are ideal for you if you;

  • Want to broaden your impact with your existing resources [we’re renowned for saving many’a’team from unnecessary FTE via our “smarter, not harder… and this is how” approach, allowing your team to focus on the bigger-picture projects that keep marketing & comms teams motivated, well resourced, retained, as well as facilitating genuine career growth for those who upskill with us].
  • Have recently brought marketing efforts back in-house, expanded your marketing team, or simply have new members on your team and want [nay: need] TDP to be a part of that all-important onboarding [a lot of our training can be recorded, ultimately making its way into your onboarding processes for future team expansion etc].
  • You’re craving something more omni for your strategy, but don’t have the in-house capabilities… and want to avoid the external outsource [we are fluent in training generalists into specialists].
  • You’re looking to set up systems and processes for success [we’ll drop almost all humility here and tell you, earnestly, that this is some of the best value we include within all sessions… with almost all folks commenting on this piece being transformative not only for their team[s], but their career also].
  • You just want to hit a once-per-annum [or more, or less] “refresh” button on your team’s digital marketing and social media knowledge… and you want the industry’s best to come in and not only health check/pulse check where you’re at, but expertly guide you on where you need to go from here.
  • Or perhaps your team has simply hit that dreaded ‘rut’ [happens to the best of teams], and you’re craving that external person to come in and play that all-important role of “border collie” within the “strategy paddock” [we’re the friendliest “border collies” you’ll ever meet… and we never nip at an ankle to guide a strategy to where it needs to be].

Whether you need us in a boardroom with your team, or your team offsite within our boardroom… or perhaps you need us on a big stage…
