From Auckland to Hamilton to Taranaki, Shay has rolled up her sleeves and run workshops that actually do something. Facilitated either through Idyllic for individual business owners or brought in by organisations who want their teams to think bigger and act bolder, her sessions cover websites, marketing strategy, email marketing, social media, phone photography, meta ads, and the art of building a brand with real emotional pull. No death by slides. No theory that evaporates by lunchtime. Just practical, energising sessions that leave people with a plan and the confidence to execute it.

Lottie offers one-on-one training sessions specifically designed for small business owners who want real guidance, real strategy, and someone who’ll tell them the truth. Registered Regional Business Partner programme: these sessions are structured to help small- to medium-sized businesses grow in a supported, intentional way. Three hours a month, every month, for six months. Time for teaching you the skills, analysing the reports and bouncing ideas to champion you to feel confident – customised to your level.

Sometimes, a marketing team doesn’t need more tools; they need someone to come in, shake the table, and help them remember why they started. Shay works directly with organisations and their marketing teams to cut through the noise, rebuild strategy from the ground up, and get everyone pulling in the same direction. Think less corporate training day, more creative intervention. She’ll help your team find their boldest ideas, build a plan that actually holds together, and leave the room genuinely fired up to execute it. If your marketing feels scattered, stale, or like it’s just not landing, this is where you start.

Shay Starrenburg is the keynote speaker your event didn’t know it needed. Funny, sharp, and incapable of boring a room, she speaks on disruption, bold marketing, resilience, and what it actually takes to stand out. Fair warning: your audience will leave with ideas and absolutely zero excuses.
