Hello, World!

Hello, World!

I’m Glenn, founder of Revellion, a marketing consultant and educator based in Western Australia.

Over the past two decades, I’ve helped organisations tackle complex consumer challenges, adapt to evolving consumer preferences, and respond to shifts in public policy - often with limited resources, tight timelines, and minimal support. Those experiences shaped me into what I call a Specialist Generalist - someone who knows a lot about a lot, and understands how all the moving parts of marketing connect to drive real business results.

I believe marketing should speak the language of business. Too often, it’s buried in jargon, leaving leaders nodding along without truly understanding the strategy. To me, marketing isn’t another language, it’s simply about meeting the needs of people in a way that benefits the business. And it’s not just advertising; ads are one tool, not the starting point.

After years in large organisations, I started Revellion to work with good people, do rewarding work, and bridge the gap between marketing theory and business reality.

For me, effective marketing begins with asking the right questions and broadening the possibilities for solutions. I work alongside teams to uncover challenges, craft practical strategies, and build capability for lasting success. It’s not just about the immediate output of marketing, it’s about creating a journey rich in learning, improvement, and a long-term approach to your marketing that takes you further.

“I believe the best work happens when it’s shared, when people come together with energy, purpose, and a sense of humour. When surrounded by curious, capable people who are growing, creating, and inspiring, others will do the same.

Marketing success isn’t measured by a piece of creative on the trendiest platform, but by meaningful outcomes that solve real problems and deliver lasting impact.

Marketing is more than just the result, it’s the journey. It should be purposeful, collaborative, and even joyful.

I value simplicity, clarity, and momentum and great things happen when motivated people align around a goal, take ownership, and move forward together.”

    - Natalia Cole

  • Glenn and I worked together for more than 5 years, and working together we delivered several highly complex, high value marketing projects and initiatives. Glenn consistently gives great direction to projects and focuses on the outcome rather than the process which I admire and is not always the case with so called 'leaders'.

FAQs

What sort of engagement terms for Marketing expertise are available from Revellion?

Mostly, contract terms are available for the completion of a project. The duration of the project will depend on the nature of the task, staff availability and project complexity.

How does a Marketing audit work?

Marketing audits are systematic, independent evaluations designed to assess the effectiveness of marketing operations, communications, media, planning, and objectives, ensuring they are appropriate and aligned with overall business strategy and goals.

These audits provide valuable insights that help organisation’s determine whether their marketing function requires improvement and if so, identify the necessary steps to enhance capability and performance.

What is involved in Marketing Analytics?

Marketing Analytics, commonly known as Marketing Mix Modelling (MMM), is a data-driven approach that allows businesses to assess the effectiveness of their marketing activities, particularly those executed through media campaigns.

The process leverages the expertise of specialists skilled in both media strategy and data analysis. Its application and insights vary based on the business type and scope of marketing efforts.

By analysing historical data alongside extensive marketing and media knowledge, Marketing Analytics not only measures the Return on Marketing Investment (ROMI) across products, campaigns, and media channels but can also provide revenue forecasts for future activities. These forecasts consider multiple variables, including budget allocations, to inform more strategic decision-making.

Are the Marketing Training programs tailored for the client, or are they simply standard presentations?

The training programs are not standard presentations. Typically, they combine structured training content with interactive workshop elements designed to engage staff and collaboratively develop solutions to specific challenges.

To ensure the best outcomes, it is recommended to hold a preliminary meeting with key stakeholders to provide context and background before the workshops. Additionally, fully bespoke programs can be developed to precisely address the unique needs of the staff and organisation.
