Ros Conkie
Keynote Speaker for Technical Audiences
Make marketing make sense
For audiences tired of waffle, Ros brings structure, energy and
real results.
You want your audience to walk away energised, inspired, and actually doing something differently.
But too many marketing speakers…
- Talk theory, not action.
- Don’t understand technical businesses.
- Or worse – leave your audience thinking marketing is still a dark art.
If your audience is made up of engineers, scientists, tech leaders or manufacturing pros — they deserve a speaker who speaks their language.
That’s where I come in.
I bring engineering logic to the marketing chaos
Hi, I’m Ros Conkie - marketing speaker, author of The Marketing Machine, and a Chartered Marketer with a background in mechanical engineering.
I’ve spent the last 20 years helping technical businesses turn their scattergun marketing into a predictable, measurable machine that fuels growth.
And I’ve built a reputation for delivering:
- Clear, structured thinking (engineers love me for this)
- Talks packed with practical steps - not just ideas
- Energy, humour, and real-world insight
If you want your audience to say “Finally! This makes sense!” - let’s talk.
