Amber Bonney is one of Australia’s most influential brand experts—a bold strategist, creative leader, and advocate for change. With 28+ years’ experience across global markets, she has partnered with international powerhouse brands including Nestlé, Subaru, Volkswagen, Uber, Simplot, and Lendlease.

As founder of The Edison Agency—one of Australia’s largest strategic brand agencies—Amber specialises in high-level strategy, positioning, and portfolio architecture, known for turning complexity into transformative brand pathways.

Beyond branding, she is a passionate advocate for gender equity, a mentor to emerging leaders, and host of Bite Big – Boss Women Leading Big Brands, a podcast amplifying diverse female voices.

A change-maker at heart, Amber is redefining not just how Australian brands grow and endure, but modelling how women can lead and flourish in the creative industry.
