An age old adage? The tension of self-actualising. After experiencing multiple identity crises, Amanda Salvin learnt that the only opinion that mattered, was hers and hers alone. It was only upon discovering what she really stood for, Amanda found the courage to use this power for good and make a powerful and positive impact on the lives of those around her.
With brains, heart and hustle, Amanda developed the Seventh Level Engagement Framework, an in-depth study in human behaviour and a way to measure engagement long before social media was a thing. Amanda has since made a name for herself as a marketing strategist and brand engagement expert. By thinking differently about the way people connect with each other, Amanda’s award-winning company, CatalystCreativ, has helped numerous brands such as Google, Coca Cola, and WeWork achieve their branding goals.
