Abbey helps businesses move from chaos to clarity with human-first, tech-enabled marketing systems that actually work – even when life doesn’t.
Blending two decades of experience with real-world crisis leadership (yes, including flood recovery), she shows how to embrace AI, Marketing Technology, and automation without losing your soul. This keynote is where mindset meets marketing operations, and where strategy becomes the bridge between overwhelm and action.
Audiences walk away energised, equipped, and ready to design systems that scale – sustainably.
As AI and automation shift the business landscape, one thing hasn’t changed -the best systems still start with people.
In this keynote, Abbey unpacks what it takes to lead teams into a future shaped by Marketing Technology, AI, and digital transformation – without losing the human heartbeat of your brand. With lessons drawn from CMO-level leadership and crisis-tested resilience, she reveals how to unlock capacity, build trust, and scale sustainably.
It’s a session that invites clarity, not chaos – and shows how future-ready leadership begins with a human-first mindset.
Not all tech is good tech – especially when it disrupts the very customers it was meant to serve.
In this keynote, Abbey explores how to integrate marketing technology in ways that elevate the customer experience, not complicate it. From self-service to automation, CRM to AI, she helps teams navigate the fine line between optimisation and overwhelm.
This talk is grounded in real examples from tourism, transport, and NFP sectors – where customer trust is earned moment by moment. It’s a practical, honest look at how to create systems that serve both business goals and human needs.
For teams who want more than inspiration – Abbey offers follow-up services that take the keynote off the stage and into the real world.
These can be added to a speaking engagement or booked as standalone sessions.
