Bryony Thomas

Bryony Thomas is one of the UK’s foremost marketing thinkers. She is the author of "Watertight Marketing," which has been in its best-sellers list consistently for over five years, with no gimmicks. This ground-breaking book has been described variously as 'the entrepreneurs’ essential marketing manual,' 'a work of genius,' and 'a license to print money.' Centered on replacing the ubiquitous sales funnel diagram with a better metaphor of a Bucket, Funnels and Taps, Thomas is often known as The Bucket Lady.

She has a disarmingly honest working style, that means that people have often seen her as a marketing confidante more than a consultant. Landing as the divisional director of marketing for FTSE 100 company, Experian, at the age of 28, Thomas quickly developed a knack for asking the questions that matter. If there’s something that needs addressing, you’ll find Thomas pointing to it. This earned her the nick-name, The Elephant Spotter.

Thomas is also an in-demand professional speaker for business audiences wanting to understand how to deliver sustainable sales results. Whether it’s a boardroom, team day, or a large conference venue, Thomas can be trusted to inspire, engage and entertain. But, more importantly people will leave her talks with immediate actions to take. She has a unique and memorable speaking style, and is often heard describing how to build multi-million pound businesses in the same way as you’d steal your neighbor's cat. And so, is known as The Multi-Million Pound Cat Thief.
