“F*cking Marvellous!”: Sherilyn Shackell Celebrates The Marketing Academy Australia’s 10th Birthday

Sherilyn Shackell, founder and CEO of The Marketing Academy, was down in Sydney to celebrate the Australian chapter’s 10th birthday at Luna Park last night.

Shackell, the world’s preeminent pied piper of marketers, drew a huge crowd. It was a veritable who’s who of the Australian marketing landscape with the great and the good descending on the iconic Sydney Harbour theme park to mingle, share memories and more.

B&T snuck in through the back door and managed to get three quick minutes with the woman herself about the Academy’s success, what’s next and our own Greg ‘Sparrow’ Graham’s important role in its inception. Watch it below:

We were also lucky enough (cruel enough?) to clip the mic to Leandro Perez, CMO of Salesforce A/NZ as well as one of just five in the world who have been a Marketing Academy Scholar and Fellow; Jude Batrac, Coke’s director – diversity, equity and inclusion, ASEAN & South Pacific and Marketing Academy Scholar; and CommBank’s Anna Rallos and fellow former Scholar.

First up, it’s Salesforce’s Perez.
