This July we're hosting Tim Woodsmith! He's not been in Perth that long, so you might not have come to meet him yet, but here's what you need to know.
Tim recently joined Rare as Director of Strategy having spent the last 15 years in the UK and Sydney working across globally recognised brand agencies, creative shops, design studios and world dominating consultancies, including arguably Australia’s most awarded and celebrated creative agency The Monkeys (now Droga5) and the global powerhouse that is Accenture Song.
A brand strategist at heart, he's enjoyed a non-traditional (squiggly) career path, moving into Digital Strategy, Experience Design, Product and Service Development and Business Transformation, before coming back to brand.
Today he helps define brands - and shape how people experience them, specialising in providing a clear distinction in market, and crafting effective strategies across both brand and experience that ultimately lead to growth.
"I Like to think I’ve left a notable, lasting impact on the Australian market, forging strong relationships and delivering award-winning work for major brands including the likes of: Tourism Australia, Telstra, NRMA Insurance, BP, Qantas, UNICEF, WWF, Krispy Kreme, Westpac and CBA."
Tim's also the facilitator of the ACA AdSchool Advanced Strategic Planning course, which begins this September in Perth.
So start marinading your brand, strategy and positioning questions, grab your tickets and come fire up the grill with us on the 24th of July.
The Event Background
Grill The Marketer, in partnership with the Australian Marketing Institute welcomes all marketers, business owners and managers, and marketing students - if you have marketing questions, come and ask them. Don't have a specific question - but you want to chat marketing with people who LOVE to talk about marketing? Great! Come along.
Are you looking for a marketing role? Maybe we can introduce you to your new boss. It's happened before.
Our community is generous with their time and skills and believe that when it comes to marketing, the better you do, the better we all do. That's why so many awesome projects and collabs have been born from this event. We LOVE connecting our networks.
We don't enjoy events with pitches, boring PowerPoint pressos, and upsells. So Grill The Marketer is simply our marketing brains directed at your challenge or topic. What would go for a bundle in consulting fees or training dollars, comes to you in this fun package for less than your Tuesday night Uber Eats order.
The Marketer will let you grill them on their areas of expertise, and those of the guest panellist/s, and MC Jacqueline will keep us all on track.
Some of our previous guests include; Kate Kirwin from She Codes & Young Australian of the Year, Hannah Muirhead, formerly of The Brand Agency, Amber Martin of Hypnosis Creative Agency, Alison Balch, CMO at Penanet, David "DG" Gardiner from DGPR, Crown Perth's Kelly Townson, TikTok sensation Seva Mozhaev (@sevspics), Cory Gale from Tourism WA, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Rare Callum Mackenzie, and Pretzel founder, Brittany Garbutt.
So you KNOW no matter the guest or topic, we bring you the most interesting people willing to put themselves out there to answer whatever you throw at them.
You'll love the informal format and awesome community vibe while we help you explore your marketing curiosity with passion and the odd tangent.
