Every business could learn a little from show business.
Interviewed on screen on A Current Affair, Today Tonight, Channel 7 News Sydney and Australia by Design.
Meet Therese
“If you can tell me the brand of skylights used on The Block, then you know what I do!”
I match brands with TV shows to get them seen by millions and, more importantly, sell more products.
I’ve done deals with just about every Australian home show, from The Block to My Reno Rules. I even helped build the Big Brother house when the production didn’t have the budget!
I’ve personally negotiated over $8 million in TV deals and built a global business through partnerships, which led me to write the bestselling book SWAP! Marketing Without Money.
“And trust me, I’ve got stories!”
Three stories ready to tell
Marketing, reality TV and the clever business of being remembered.
