OUR ATTENDEES SAID ESME WAS FAR and AWAY THEIR FAVORITE SPEAKER.

 She’s the founder of Martini Studio — a messaging and creative consultancy focused on telling bolder stories and building magnetic marketing that actually converts. Through her signature offer, The Brand Edit, Esme works with founders, creatives, and multi-hyphenates to refine their message, raise their voice, and become un-ignorable online. When she’s not writing scroll-stopping copy or running creative workshops, she’s probably rewatching Fleabag, reorganizing her bookshelf by aesthetic, or editing someone’s Instagram bio uninvited.

Esme Martine is a London-born former Marie Claire editor turned brand strategist, known for helping brave brands break out of the echo chamber.
