Anthony Reeves
Biography
Anthony Reeves is an alchemy of business leadership as a humanist and futurist. He lives at the center of leadership, customer obsession, and driving change for Growth. Anthony's international work in leadership, marketing, eMarketing (Amazon), and creativity has been covered by The WSJ, Forbes, Fortune, The NYT, Seattle Times, Adobe CMO, CES, Digiday, CNBC, The Drum, Politico, AdAge, Live (Russia) and Kampanje (Nordics). He's a recognized and awarded leader in business, marketing, and customer experiences. He places the customer first and designs product, organizations/teams, and brand experiences around those customers. He fully believes he ‘earned a better MBA at Amazon’.
Anthony’s approach is humble warmth. And Anthony’s aim is to always keep learning, leave positivity, and helping others grow - whether it be via a motivational keynote, strategic session, consulting, or a workshop. Anthony began his career as a creative inside of some of the world's best advertising agencies in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and the United States. He was a Global Director at Amazon when the department grew from just over $1B to almost $20B, as well as Chief Creative and Strategy Officer at Wunderman Thompson, WPP, Publicis, and LMVH (CMO) before creating ReevesJones and joining Courage Brands.
ReevesJones is a global consultancy helping businesses and brands transform digitally through leadership workshops and customer-experience growth workshops. (Clients: Kia, SEAT, McKinsey, WPP, Accenture, Boston Consulting, Bain, Salesforce, Eve Hansen, The North Face, L'Oreal.) At Amazon and while already an established leader, he became fascinated as to how some large companies ensured that great ideas rise quickly and then are executed even quicker - and how some companies just fade away. His dynamic style and customer-first approach have benefited some the world's most respected organizations: Amazon, Nike, LVMH, L'Oreal, Microsoft, Newell, Verizon, Diageo, Wells Fargo, Westpac, QANTAS, JPMC, London School of Design and many more.
