I used to worry that my career seemed accidental. Then I realised that the detours are a feature, not a bug.

I’m speaking at the Careers in Marketing event next Thursday, March 5, thanks to The Marketing Club AU/NZ and The Attention Seeker, and it’s got me all reflective.

My resume looks like someone put a whole lot of companies and job titles and threw them into a blender.

I’ve:

  • got a degree in Fine Arts
  • imported welding equipment
  • worked for The Big Mouse House
  • Been a distributor of coffee in the UK
  • worked on 3 World Cups
  • led the marketing for grassroots rugby league
  • worked in tech


Now I run my own B2B growth consultancy and performance marketing agency Europa Creative Partners.

I used to worry about it and feel all jelly about people with nice, linear-looking career paths.

Now, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

And come along to the event if you’re in Auckland:

If you know your business is all steak and needs some sizzle….. we’d love to hear from you.
