Everything you need to start your next step change
Predatory Marketing Strikes Back
Most brands compete by matching their rivals. Predatory brands win by doing the opposite: targeting the weakness that grows directly out of a competitor’s greatest strength.
This session gives you a repeatable framework for finding and exploiting those gaps. It’s uncomfortable. It works. You’ll leave with a clear picture of where your competitors are most exposed and exactly how to strike.

Outsmart vs Outspend
The biggest marketing budget in the room doesn’t win anymore. The sharpest thinking does.
This session breaks down how challenger brands consistently outmanoeuvre category giants. Not with more resources, but with better positioning, tighter targeting, and the discipline to say no to everything that doesn’t compound. Practical, provocative, and immediately applicable to any business that’s ever been outgunned.
Next Horizon Thinking
Most strategy work tells you where you are. Almost none of it tells you where to go next.
This session teaches you to read early signals, spot strategic inflection points before the competition does, and build the habits of a business that’s always one move ahead. Not a crystal ball. A system for thinking further and faster than the market you’re in.

The AI Shockwave
AI doesn’t change what wins. It changes the speed at which winning or losing compounds.
This session cuts through the noise to show what AI actually means for strategy, marketing, and competitive advantage, and what it doesn’t. Ashton’s worked with AI tools daily since their commercial release. He brings the practitioner’s view, not the pundit’s. You’ll leave knowing exactly what to do differently, starting Monday.
TESTIMONIALS
This Could Be You
We hired Ashton for a series of masterclasses on communication, which spanned several days of a recent conference. He delivered an outstanding series of high-energy, thought-provoking, and highly educational seminars.
The feedback from the audience was a 10/10, and he was
unanimously voted as a speaker we'll be inviting back again. I certainly recommend him as a highly engaging speaker with a very unique range of speaking topics and value.
CAMBELL HOLT
Head of Commercial Growth | APAC | SEEK
I’ve been part of many sessions with Ashton over the years, from facilitating mass 300-person online ideation sessions to small group capability masterclasses on strategy.
He’s got
a unique ability to work with a brief to deliver content relevant to our organisation in a challenging yet collaborative way. Over multiple sessions, over almost a decade now, he keeps it fun and fresh. I look forward to our continued collaboration and recommend him as a speaker and facilitator for your next event.
TAMARA TING
ANZ | Head of Marketing, Strategic Partnerships
I have hired Ashton multiple times in the last decade to lead various teams through the Leader’s Mindset to prime them to think beyond where the businesses are today. We have worked together to define new business models and what needs to be true to execute.
A core part of the magic when Ashton is facilitating is how
he pushes thinking and ideation into new places. He has powerful presence and command. I consider him
an expansive thought partner who I know I will work with again.

I am writing to recommend Mr. Ashton Bishop, who presented at our PVC AUS 2024: Future Driven Conference. Ashton delivered an exceptional presentation titled “Predatory Strikes Back”, which garnered overwhelmingly positive feedback from our attendees.
Ashton’s presentation was not only innovative but also featured insightful perspectives that
sparked thought-provoking discussions about the future of our industry. His dedication to sharing his knowledge and experiences truly set him apart and contributed significantly to the conference’s success.
