Carma Levene is a Perth-based marketing consultant, AMI Certified Practising Marketer (CPM), ACA Certified Strategist, Oasis Ball Squad Lead, member of the ECU Marketing & Entrepreneurships Consultative Committee, AMI Mentor, a judge across multiple industry awards – and founder of The Marketer, a consultancy providing strategic marketing services, and the host of an event series (Grill The Marketer) that brings curious and passionate marketers together to have more useful conversations about marketing.
With more than 15 years of experience across social media, digital marketing, content and strategy, Carma combines practical marketing expertise with a strong understanding of how businesses actually operate, having spent over 17 years in events, tourism, and hospitality. This gave her a valuable perspective and a sharp focus on marketing that delivers meaningful business outcomes – not marketing for jargon’s sake.
Carma has worked across a broad range of industries and organisations, from small businesses and solopreneurs to agencies of all sizes, not-for-profits, government and larger organisations. Her expertise spans strategy, communications, advertising and media, with a particular passion for understanding people and the psychology behind marketing effectiveness.
A passionate educator and industry contributor, Carma has guest lectured at ECU, Curtin, UWA and TAFE, and mentors Emerging Marketers through the Australian Marketing Institute.
She’s also contributed to the industry via judging, including the B&T 30 Under 30 and Women in Media, and the AMI Awards for Excellence over many years.
As a speaker, Carma brings an energetic, candid and highly practical perspective. She is particularly interested in separating marketing fact from hype and helping marketers and business leaders focus on what genuinely make a difference.
Her approach is grounded in authenticity, curiosity, problem-solving and the belief that good marketing should ultimately serve a business, its customers and its people.
