Ashton Bishop, CEO – Step Change

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 performing, 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, won film awards, guest lectured at leading universities and has won Speaker of the Year for Australia’s number one CEO network on multiple occasions.
