Late last year, I found myself in a room full of whip-smart women (and a smattering of equally fabulous men) talking about AI hosted by Future Females Australia.

Ha! My theory, Karina, is that “if it doesn’t feel like the whole thing could unravel at any minute, is it really a major event?” The trick is a really solid runsheet that considers every variable and constant communication (and laughter) with a team you can trust. Importantly, leave your ego at the door and always stay calm in the storm. My…

Oh Colette – Your adrenaline must’ve been running at absolute max capacity—no doubt living in that constant “game on” state where every second counts and there’s zero margin for error. Was there ever a stage where you thought the whole thing would unravel? How do you recover?

The Major Part of Major Events Everyone Forgets

I was thrilled over the last few weeks to be working again with the global mobility powerhouse that is TMS. TMS were appointed to deliver transport for every facet of the Women’s Asian Cup Australia. I didn’t get to kick it with the Tilly’s, but I was stoked to be in my wheelhouse, looking after the broadcast, marketing and partnerships…

Ascend HQ changed the description of the group FOU musings from "FOU Musings is a working marketer’s take on the art and discipline of brand building; part field notes, part philosophy, largely swinging between hysteria and hilarity. Expect commentary on culture, creativity, and the craft of communication from Colette Gallagher, founder of FOU Agency. All opinions are subjective. Oh... and FOU rhymes with F&K you, it means crazy in French. Make of this what you will x" to "FOU Musings is a working marketer’s take on the art and discipline of brand building; part field notes, part philosophy, largely swinging between hysteria and hilarity.

I’ve spent more than two decades inside the industry that is commercial marketing: media, retail, sport, events, and now running my own agency. I’ve seen what works, what fails quietly and sometimes with a bang, and what gets celebrated for all the wrong reasons. FOU Musings is where I make sense of it all, the logic, emotion, and occasional…
