Rare’s new Strategy Director Tim Woodsmith named as Grill The Marketers next guest
Next month at Grill The Marketer, Tim Woodsmith, Strategy Director at Rare, will be the next to face the burning questions of the marketing community.
Woodsmith joined Rare as Director of Strategy in March 2025, after spending the last 15 years in the UK and Sydney working across globally recognised brand agencies, creative shops, design studios and world dominating consultancies, including arguably Australia’s most awarded and celebrated creative agency The Monkeys (now Droga5) and the global powerhouse that is Accenture Song.
A brand strategist at heart, he’s enjoyed a non-traditional (squiggly) career path, moving into Digital Strategy, Experience Design, Product and Service Development and Business Transformation, before coming back to brand.
Today he helps define brands – and shape how people experience them, specialising in providing a clear distinction in market, and crafting effective strategies across both brand and experience that ultimately lead to growth.
“I Like to think I’ve left a notable, lasting impact on the Australian market, forging strong relationships and delivering award-winning work for major brands including the likes of: Tourism Australia, Telstra, NRMA Insurance, BP, Qantas, UNICEF, WWF, Krispy Kreme, Westpac and CBA.”
Woodsmith’s also the facilitator of the ACA AdSchool Advanced Strategic Planning course, which begins this September in Perth.
If you’re unfamiliar with the format – Grill The Marketer is 100% Q&A. There’s no slides, no sales, just passionate professionals with opinions, willing to put themselves in the hot seat to see what questions the audeince come up with.
There’s plenty of time to network with The Marketer community, which includes everyone from students to academics, client-side and agency and everything in between.
