Ashton Bishop – Step Change Marketing

Ashton Bishop is Australia’s Predatory Marketer – an expert in pinpointing how brands can grow by outsmarting their competitors.

However, his path was a somewhat unusual one. After graduating with a commerce/law degree he turned his hand to street preforming, TV presenting, stand-up comedy, film directing and even literally ran away with the circus.

Fortunately Ashton eventually found his niche in marketing, where he has spent the last 14 years working internationally on some of the world’s biggest brands. He’s a business owner, serial entrepreneur, challenging, sometimes even controversial, but always focused on what gets results.

He’s run million dollar campaigns for billion dollar brands, created Australia’s first mobile app, received film awards, guest lectured at leading universities, won creative and strategic recognition from his peers and, in a world first, brought marketing strategy together with digital technology.

Steven Clare - Australian Franchise Support Alliance

Steven is the founder and CEO of AFSA. A business dedicated to helping other businesses “network, learn, grow & succeed†in real and tangible ways. I am on a “crusade†to help businesses (SME’s, franchisees, franchisors and similar network businesses) improve their business position and profitability, as government often seems committed to making business harder and harder each day, for the typical SME. AFSA is an online subscribers based business, that is similar to joining a gym. It is a hybrid business, with many features to it.

Steven is lawyer with a firm focussed on commercial and franchising law. He has been involved in various industries, and worked outside of law firms to get real and tangible business experience.

Steven has a family and two children and wishes to ensure a better future for them!
