Leaders who fail to grasp or use the power of stories risk failure for their companies, and themselves.
Harvard Business School Professor, John Kotter
Hey there, I’m Mark.
I’m an award-winning journalist, business leader, father of four and keynote speaker.
Storytelling changes the world. That's why I love seeing it come alive for leaders and organisations. I’ve worked in media, business and marketing for 25+ years – more than 50,000 hours of learning, writing, speaking, consulting and teaching.
​​​
I earned my stripes as IT Editor at the Financial Review, and covered the tech boom & bust at Infoworld in San Francisco. I co-founded two successful multi-million dollar companies, launched Social Impact Summit, The CMO Show podcast and I've delivered keynotes on four continents. ​
​​
I help leaders rewrite their stories, transform brands and make a positive impact. ​Let's chat!

Thought-provoking
Mark’s presentation was really thought-provoking and insightful for our broader marketing team. It challenged traditional approaches to the way companies talk about their brands and highlighted why a brand story helps build stronger emotional connections between a brand and its key audiences.
