Meet the Marketer

I’m Debbie Gainsford. I’ve spent 20+ years leading B2B marketing for growing businesses and global brands - launching products, building teams, and shaping strategy across tech, media, and e-commerce.

With a Masters in Digital Marketing and a Diploma in Coaching, I combine deep marketing expertise with a coaching approach, helping you clarify your challenges and explore practical solutions.

I help founders and marketers tackle challenges like AI-driven search disruption, proving ROI under budget pressure, and aligning marketing with sales and product teams.

This session gives you access to that experience, someone who understands your challenges and can help you think through your next moves.

Who It’s For

Founders & business owners: need marketing guidance, fresh ideas, or a sense check

Marketers: want a senior sounding board, advice on marketing strategy, or confidence before making a call

Anyone juggling too much or looking for practical solutions from someone who’s been there

Bring Your Burning Questions

You probably have a question or two. Maybe you just want to bounce ideas around, test a concept, or see what else you could be doing. Maybe the pace of change with AI, search, and digital marketing trends has left you stuck, and you’re not sure where to start.

You can ask anything in the session, and here are a few ideas of what we could cover:

  • AI and search are changing everything - what should I focus on first?

  • How do I align marketing, product, and sales teams without friction?

  • Budgets are tight - howe can I do more with less?

  • We’re launching a new product or campaign - can we brainstorm ideas?

  • I’m considering a leadership step or career pivot - can I talk it through?

  • How do I maintain customer trust and engagement in a competitive market?

…and anything else that’s keeping you up at night.

Think of it as a space to work through your marketing challenges with an expert and you’ll leave with practical advice, clarity, and ideas you can act on right away.
