July Grill Guest: Tim Woodsmith, Ex The Monkeys (now Droga5) and Accenture Song - Now Rare's Director of Strategy

Tim Woodsmith Announced As July Grill The Marketer Guest

This July we're welcoming Tim Woodsmith to the hot seat! 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.

Hosted by Carma Levene, MC supreme: Jacqueline Baril.

Side note: Keith will be away for the second time ever in 6 years 😲 Who will be our stand-in Mic Man? You'll have to come and find out.
