Speaker Profile

Mark Di Somma helps senior decision makers and brand owners redefine and articulate what makes them competitive at critical moments of change. For more than 20 years he’s worked with senior teams in New Zealand and beyond, across a wide range of sectors, to identify how they achieve new goals, better pricing, greater value, fired up staff and more loyal customers.

Strategy, he says, is really all about being interesting and, more importantly, staying interesting in a world where new ideas rush at consumers and attention quickly flags. The strongest strategies are clear, ambitious, bold and focused on helping businesses and brands compete from the best position possible.

Mark’s wide and broad working knowledge combined with his practical approach and freewheeling problem-solving style make him a powerful addition to events focused on business leadership, innovation, marketing and branding.

Mark regularly shares his thinking on international platforms: as an online contributor to Entrepreneur; for example, and as an Author with regular posts to top-ranking blog Branding Strategy Insider. His own blog Upheavals continues to be rated amongst the top 100 branding blogs in the world.
