The Marketer Welcomes Berlin's John Linton as June's Grill Guest

The Marketer Gives Good Guest

And June's event is no different!

We've squeezed in a bonus round of Grill and we know you're not going to want to miss it - because we asked John Linton to join us in the hot seat.

John Linton

John is the Managing Partner of Perth agency Berlin, who recently took out the Challenger Agency of the Year at the Campaign Brief Awards and Oasis Ball.

And no, we don't know why he's wet - you'll have to ask him.

Carma first met John as a judge for the final assessment of her ACA Advanced Strategic Planning course, but was already a fan of the work coming from this small Indie, so it was a natural fit to have John come along so we can interrogate him.

About John 

While recently taking on the responsibility of Managing Partner of the creative agency, Berlin, that he founded with Rich Berney, John is a dyed in the wool brand and communications strategist. 

He cut his teeth in that discipline over a near decade-long stint at 303 MullenLowe, where he learnt firsthand about the importance of long-term brand building, and developed a passion for pro-social education, advocacy and behaviour change communication

It was this latter passion that led John to found Berlin with Rich, a self-declared ’tree-hugger’. Their mission is the build an agency in the public interest, one that’s both great (in terms of the work) and good (in terms of its impact), at the same time. 

Almost 3 years into that venture, John’s now helping to shape work as varied as building Murdoch University’s brand, advocating for gas tax reform and future food security, and aiming for positive behaviour change connected to the health harms of alcohol and vaping.

He’s an open book on his career journey, what makes him tick and the growing pains associated with building a new agency with a focused proposition… so the grill is on.

More Event Info

In case you haven't made it to a Grill The Marketer event yet, here's some more info about what to expect.

Your host, Carma Levene is a marketing consultant with 15 years experience.

She is an Australian Marketing Institute Certified Practicing Marketer & Emerging Marketer Mentor. She sits on the ECU Consultative Committee for the School of Business & Law. She's the Oasis Ball Committee Marketing Squad Lead (this year was her third ball being a committee member). She's an Advertising Council Australia certified strategist, Youngbloods Mentor and Founder of The Marketer.

Each Grill event she asks an industry guest (or two) to join her in the hot seat so Perth's marketing enthusiasts can ask them whatever they like.

This is unscripted and they WILL go off on tangents (which is sometimes the best bit).

Get your tickets and ask your questions - this event goes where the audience take it.

The crew is really welcoming so you'll be fine to come alone or with a group and meet other passion marketers of all levels and backgrounds.

See you there!
