Melissa helped us reframe marketing to seem less overwhelming and more approachable. Throughout the talk, Melissa gave us tools and techniques to take action and apply the theory in our businesses. Melissa is friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about marketing- we've already had lots of positive feedback and know that our members will continue to benefit from watching the replay on their own time. And, even though I've been running my business for 8+ years, I still learned a great deal from her refreshing, ethical approach myself.

We'd highly recommend working with Melissa and hope to invite her back for follow-up events in the future.

I've engaged Melissa several times on key strategy work for my business however recently worked with her for an educational masterclass exploring how startups can be more values-led and take a stand on social issues. Melissa came to the digital workshop highly prepared, carefully considering our stakeholders, their needs, and their level of understanding on the topic and presented a thoughtful, engaging and interesting session that had the chat box full of questions, conversation and ideas.

I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Melissa for speaking roles or workshop facilitation (and will no doubt work with her again!)

As one of the Organising Committee Members for the recent 2023 AIBB National Conference, I was challenged tasked with providing a compelling topic for a gathering of 150 of the nations top professional Business Brokers. 
Having known Mel for some years and understanding her passion for assisting businesses with strategic branding, was delighted when she agreed to be a key speaker on this topic. And she didn't let us down.

Many in the room were solo operators, or small office principles and Mel delivered a talk that was relevant and engaging to the audience. The 90 minutes seemed to short. Mel made a lasting positive impression with the audience and made me look good in the process!!

Melissa is a genuine thought leader in brand strategy and marketing. I engaged her to deliver a masterclass to my customers, and it was the most mind-expansive presentation that was expertly delivered.

Melissa has been a guest on my top-performing marketing podcast three times, and her episodes are among the most listened to.

I recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a charismatic and incredibly intelligent speaker.

We had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Mel Packham on the Smart Business Growth Podcast, and I can’t recommend her highly enough as a guest or speaker. Mel has a unique ability to help business leaders - and their audiences - reframe what 'sustainability' really means in a modern business context.

In our episode, she was both thought-provoking and insightful, pushing the conversation beyond carbon footprints to include human health, wellbeing, and purpose-driven growth. More than just big ideas, Mel also offered practical, purpose-aligned tips that left our listeners inspired and ready to act.

If you’re looking for someone who brings clarity, challenge, and depth to conversations about ethical and sustainable business, Mel is the real deal.

Melissa really knows her stuff. I had the pleasure of interviewing Melissa for World Values Day about building a brand-led business. Melissa is super knowledgeable about branding, values, and sustainability, and her explanations of values washing and greenwashing were spot on.

She was professional, articulate and a delight to work with on this occasion. If you are looking for a speaker or facilitator in the area of marketing for sustainability, I would highly recommend working with her.

I was looking for a Brand Strategist to have as a guest on my podcast LinkedIn for B2B Growth. There are many around, but none as passionate as Melissa. Especially when it comes to the topic we discussed, "Brand Values".

 Listening to someone with passion calling out the BS and clearly articulating her point was so refreshing. You can't do this unless you know your stuff and she is the real deal. Highly recommend Melissa as a great podcast guest and, most importantly, brand strategist.
