Keeva Stratton

These days, Keeva is highly regarded as a global strategist and Principal Consultant, who uses her 20+ years as a specialist in branding, culture, and strategy to help complex organisations and not-for-profits solve critical challenges with their identity, culture, growth strategies, innovation and future thinking.

But, it's fair to say her career has been a wild ride. She’s been admitted as a lawyer and holds a Master of Criminology, was the Creative Director for a national media company, spent more than a decade as a film critic where she interviewed many of Hollywood’s leading stars, and has built a loyal clientele having led her own successful brand agency.

Fundamental to her work is her commitment to gender equality and raising the bar (and her voice) on issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Keeva is also a prolific keynote speaker and MC, where she brings her acerbic wit and intellect to the stage, building great rapport with her audience, as she deftly tackles a breadth of topics from popular culture to macro trends and critical thinking.

It's no secret that AI is transforming workplaces and creative careers are vulnerable to change... yet we still believe true creative thinkers will define this generation. So, how do you turn a creative skillset and mind into career success? And, how can you realise your dreams, when technology threatens to automate your skillset? Our panel—which includes a legendary rockstar turned early learning tech star, a diversity consultant who’s a rising star of sports commentary, a leading innovator and board adviser who began his career playing guitar for some of the world’s greatest bands, and a former advertising creative director, film critic and lawyer, who now advises global organisations on future-proofing strategies—will share what they’ve learned on their non-linear journeys, with creativity proving the backbone to their success. Like the lion tracker Boyd Varty said, “I don’t know where I’m going, but I know how I’m going to get there,” our panel have learned to trust their creative skills and unique cultural lens in building successful careers. By adopting their insights, and learning from their mistakes, our panellists can help more creatives unleash their potential and understand how to find rich and fulfilling careers that are as rewarding as they creative.
