    Speaker Bio:

    Annette Densham was 15 when she stepped into her first newsroom. Her first story was about the local school fete.

    She was hooked. Her insatiable curiosity and love of talking to incredible humans has been the lodestone on which she’s built a reputation as a storyteller and profile builder over the past decade.

    Working with small businesses and entrepreneurs, Annette uses her spidey journo senses and curiosity to draw out people’s stories, write compelling business awards, AI (Annette Intelligence) content with heart and soul, and build sticky profiles using her Breadcrumb method to amplify their presence to be organically Googlicious.

    Her work has won hat tips from the 2024 Telstra Best of Business Awards for accelerating women, Inside Small Business Top 50 list, Heart of Women’s Entrepreneur of the Year and Copywriter of the Year at the Australian Small Business Champion Awards in 2023.

    If she’s not head down writing business awards or stories about amazing people, she has a mic in her hand MCing events with her splash of humour and fun, all while keeping the event running like a well-oiled machine.
