· Michael Birkin, Chief Marketing Officer, Acer Inc.;

· Colin Currie, Managing Director, Adidas Group, Greater China; and

· Michelle Froah, Asia Pacific Regional Marketing Director, Kimberly-Clark International

Sunita Gloster, chief executive of the AANA said, “Success in Asia is critical for anyone with global brand aspirations and that reality will only become more profound in the coming years as the spending power of those nations accelerates faster than other nations. Marketing leaders with such a wealth of Asian experience such as Michael, Colin and Michelle will therefore add a valuable dimension to our discussions in March.”

They join a line-up that includes global advertising legend Sir John Hegarty, Marc Mathieu, Unilever’s senior vice president of marketing and James Thompson, global managing director of Diageo Reserve Brands.

It was also announced that inspirational speaker John Kearon, founder & ‘chief juicer’ of leading market research company Brain Juicer will also address the Global Marketer Conference.

Stephen Loerke, managing director of the WFA said,  “These latest editions to our speaker line-up reaffirm our determination to deliver the best marketing talent Australia’s ever seen.”

The exclusive booking period for AANA Members ends on 21 November and tickets for the wider marketing community are available thereafter.
