Mark Ritson

"It was an absolute delight to meet you and to have the privilege to help host you “virtually” at Vertex today. It was such a fun and engaging session. You gave us some really great things to think about and apply in our work. We are very thankful you did this very late into your day and stayed with us well past midnight."

"On behalf of Vertex Pharmaceuticals, we want to thank you for an outstanding event! Your presentation provided us with a wealth of wisdom and offered invaluable perspectives. We especially appreciated your approach on creating meaningful and effective marketing strategies, by sifting through data and trends and focusing on the details that matter most."

"Ritson is a world class speaker. Among the best I’ve seen. And I’ve organised, and attended, a LOT of good conferences around the world. Outspoken, but with an authoritative, and authentic point of view, Mark completely holds and entertains the audience. Every time he’s spoken at our events, he’s delivered some of our highest post-event feedback scores of all time. As a speaker, he is a huge drawcard for those interested in the world of marketing. For me as an event organiser, there’s no better feeling than watching venue staff frantically putting out extra chairs because the crowd is streaming in to see Mark speak."

"Thank you, Mark, for sprinkling your talk with nuggets of wisdom that have set our minds abuzz with fresh questions and ideas. Your dynamic speaking was like a gust of fresh air, and we can't wait for the encore in person someday."

"Mark is an outstanding communicator with deep knowledge and experience in marketing and branding. A pleasure to be in his audience."

"Mark is an excellent practitioner of branding and one of the most talented experts I have met in communicating his thoughts. He has very insightful and original ideas and keeps his audience engaged at all times. His knowledge of branding and marketing overall is a valuable asset for clients and peers alike."

"Mark was sensational… from minute one was full of energy, knowledge, provocation and counsel. He was the highest rated speaker in our post conference survey. Our team genuinely loved him and were made better for everything he shared."

"Mark is truly one of the strongest brand strategists that I’ve had the pleasure to work with and learn from. Phenomenal speaker/presenter and more importantly a true leader . . . someone who can manage and direct a highly complex initiative among a diverse group of individuals with varying objectives and still reach a positive, common goal."

"We requested Mark speak to senior HR Directors of leading Australian brands on the topic of Employer Branding at our Talent Conference. Mark did a terrific job and was highly entertaining and informative. A great teacher of Consumer and Employer Branding."

"Mark is quite simply the best conference speaker/business school lecturer on marketing I have ever heard (and I have heard a great many). He is provocative, challenging, practical, down to earth, funny, sharp, and full of one-liner insights which stick in the mind a long time. His illustrations of the good, mediocre, bad and terrible in marketing are vital for every marketing executive to learn from. I had the privilege to work with him on several programmes at London Business School."

"I don’t often rave about fellow speakers. But Mark Ritson is a fabulous professor and speaker, quickly capturing the imagination and yet conveying practical, tangible strategies and tactics with humour and immense insight. I’ve never seen anyone capture the strategic elements of brand and branding with a strong call for personal accountability in the same way that Mark does. How do I know this? Well, I worked with Mark on executive education programmes at London Business School, where we worked with demanding managers from dozens of global corporations. Almost every single person we worked with rated Mark the best of the best. If you want to educate, inform and even inspire your audience – at whatever level, in whatever profession, in any country – call Mark Ritson. Whether you’re looking for a week-long executive education programme or a 1-hour keynote speech, I’m sure Mark will help you the same way he helped me. But don’t wait too long. I know he gets booked up ages in advance. If you want to ensure your next event is a huge success call him now."

"Thought-provoking, colourful and rigorous in his analysis, Mark is everything you need from a conference speaker. His consensus- busting keynotes at Marketing Week Live have always been brilliantly received and very popular."
