WHO IS PAUL D'AMBRA?

I am Paul D’Ambra, a hands-on marketing consultant whose career started more than 20 years ago as the product marketing manager in the largest consumer electronics retail store in Australia. I’ve since motivated start-ups, business owners and re-energised six-figure corporate brands to deliver incredible marketing impact.

I AM THE MENTOR YOU NEED TO BE YOUR GAME CHANGER
A marketing consultant with a 25 years experience
As a Leo/Virgo, I am a natural-born leader. Leo is a straightforward zodiac sign, so you will never have to guess what I am thinking or feeling; I will just come right out and tell you. Whilst Virgos have a very analytical, hard-working, practical nature. I scrutinise things to the smallest detail, and have a very methodical approach to how I work.
I started my working life as a paperboy at just 8 years old and developed my marketing career from working on a retail shop floor to managing marcom teams across Asia Pacific in senior leadership roles. I have a 25+ year history of delivering marketing impact for local and high-profile brands including Logitech, Lotus Cars, Hewlett Packard, Dick Smith, Domayne & Harvey Norman.
My broad experience has been spent in job functions in wholesale, distribution, product management, brand development as well as product marketing with exposure to local and international brands such Apple, Panasonic, Sony, Samsung, LG and many others.
WHY WILL I CARE ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS?
I bridge the sales & marketing gaps
Running a business has its challenges but is rewarding at the same time. All you need is the right guidance and support to help you achieve exactly what you desire, and I can do that for you. With my straight up approach, I will fine tune the nitty gritty details and raise your game, push your limits, and make you accountable for your success.
My no nonsense approach helps clients accomplish their business goals without all the fluff. Whether you are a start-up or existing business, you may find yourself stuck and unsure how to execute to achieve your goals. Is your business in need of an overhaul? Maybe you need help managing workflows? Are you struggling to understand the value of your business and the direction it needs to grow & flourish? I can solve that for you
I bridge the gaps where marketing, sales, branding and the latest digital marketing platforms intersect. As a business owner it means every time I consider a marketing activity I am focussed on delivering a commercially sensible outcome.
My marketing experience has come from working in situations that required sales, profit and market share growth with a focus on delivering revenue targets.
My goal is to help you reach your goals! It’s a win-win partnership. A no brainer really. Sometimes, you just need a fresh set of eyes to steer your business ahead of the competition..

The difference has been huge best of all he shows us proof of the results and pushes us to get more results..."

Paul's understanding of marketing, both traditional and social was extremely beneficial..."



MY VALUES
The attributes that I have stood by
TRANSPARENCY
Being completely transparent in my business dealings has helped deliver regular success. I believe in an open, clear line of communication that doesn’t hide information or the work needed to get results.
PRAGMATISM
While I readily admit I am not the world’s most gifted marketer, I will always ensure the marketing solutions I put forward are pragmatic & focus on achieving commercial outcomes that make sense.
CLARITY
It is easy to get caught up in all the latest marketing trends, gimmicks and ideas. Although I can help you focus on what is important to achieve clarity in the work being completed.
VALUE
It’s easy to spend thousands of dollars on marketing but not all of it will deliver true long term value. I focus my efforts on delivering sustainable, valuable, outcomes.
