Blaine Callard is the CEO at Freedom Furniture Australia. Previously, he spent 24 years at Harvey Norman, an organisation that famously does not work with agencies wherever possible.

In a wide ranging and energetic discussion, Blaine and Ellie talk about perceptions of marketing from a CEO; what marketing teams need to do to influence the C-Suite; the power of modelling and what to do (and what not to do) when trying to implement it; the importance of properly understanding AI, whoever you are in a business; and the challenges and opportunities inherent in working with agencies, good and bad.
