About Debbie Gainsford - marketing coach, mentor and advisor

Hi, I’m Debbie Gainsford a coach, mentor, and advisor for marketers who are ready for something more.

More clarity.
More confidence.
More momentum in a world that won’t sit still.

I’ve spent over 20 years building and leading marketing across global B2B businesses, from startups to scale-ups, from London to Sydney. I’ve launched award-winning campaigns, built high-performing teams, taken products (and companies) into entirely new markets, and navigated more change than I can count.

So I know what it’s like to be in it.

To feel the pressure of expectations, the weight of decisions, the desire to move forward, even when you’re not sure what that looks like yet.

Now, I work with marketers and leaders who are ready to grow. Not just in their careers but in how they show up, lead, and define success for themselves.

My coaching blends:

  • The strategic clarity of a seasoned Marketer

  • The real-world empathy of someone who’s been through pivots, promotions, and burnouts

  • And the no-BS support you need to get unstuck and moving again

We work on the stuff that matters:

  • Career transitions and leadership growth

  • First 90–100 days in a new role

  • Making an impact without burning out

  • Communicating with confidence and influence

  • Navigating messy middle moments and figuring out what’s next

I don’t do manifesting. I do momentum.
Together, we get clear on what you want, what’s in your way, and what needs to shift , internally and externally, to get you moving.

These days, I work part-time by choice, live by the beach in Australia, and support clients around the world. Because success should feel like yours, not someone else’s checklist.

If you're a marketer ready to change something - your role, your pace, your leadership, your life - you're in the right place.
