Simon worked for the Saatchi brothers for 25 years from 1983 to 2007, starting as a graduate trainee in London, before moving to Sydney after five years. He became MD of Saatchis in Taiwan (1991), then CEO of Ireland (1992-95) before returning to Australia to found M&C Saatchi Australia in May 1995.
Over the following 12 years, Simon built M&C Saatchi up to become a top three Australian Agency, with a range of blue chip clients, 300 staff and $ 50 million in revenues.
Following the sale of M&C Saatchi to AIM on the UK stock exchange, Simon left in 2007, to start Growth Mantra.
Growth Mantra is a boutique strategy consultancy focused on growth. The agency forecasts markets to spot growth opportunities, then develops and brings strategies to life. As an example of its work, Growth Mantra won an international pitch to re-invigorate McDonald’s and as a consequence, developed and implemented the ‘Create Your Taste’ campaign. Growth Mantra is also the brains behind the Woolworths Metro concept. The organisation has worked with other blue-chip companies including AGL, Bupa, Coca-Cola, Diageo, NAB, Optus, and Tabcorp.
An impressive keynote, Simon tailors his presentation, ensuring it is absolutely relevant to where your business is now and where it needs to be to meet your future market.
