Dr. Sonya Andrew is a public administration scholar, researcher, and speaker whose work sits at a critical and largely unexplored intersection: how media shapes and distorts the delivery of public policy, particularly for Black and marginalized communities.

Drawing on her doctoral dissertation at the University of Southern California, Dr. Andrew makes the case that public policy has a media problem — and the field has been slow to recognize it. Her research traces how media narratives have historically undermined equitable policy implementation, from Jim Crow-era rhetoric to present-day communications failures in government institutions.

Her presentations challenge practitioners, academics, and policymakers to confront two urgent realities: the field needs rigorous research into how media influence public policy outcomes, and public agencies must build their own independent, well-resourced media arms if they want their work to reach and serve the people who need it most.

Dr. Andrew has delivered paid presentations for institutions, including California State University, Long Beach. She brings a rare combination of scholarly rigor, lived perspective, and actionable insight, making her a compelling voice for conferences, academic programs, government agencies, and policy organizations.

I show CMOs and Marketing Leaders how to build world-class creative firepower without the overhead.
Straight from someone who’s spent 25 years ‘on the tools’ and scaling global agencies.

Hi, I’m Dan Day 👋

A creative business leader and founder who thrives on building ideas, brands, and the people behind them.

After nearly a decade bootstrapping and scaling Invisible Artists from a single desk into a global production powerhouse (working with brands like Spotify, Facebook, and The Body Shop), I realised that the "new age" of digital asset creation requires a different approach: agility over ego.

Now, through The Guroos, I help challenger brands and marketing departments get noticed.

📣 Creative Operations for CMOs: Plugging in world-class content through web, design, film, and animation experts exactly when your internal team needs the boost.

📣 Strategy for Heads of Marketing & PR: Navigating the "new age" (AI) of digital assets—ensuring your content isn't just "made," but made to move the needle.

📣 Support for Fractional Leaders: Acting as your dedicated creative arm so you can deliver big-agency results without the big-agency headcount.

📣 The Guroos Collective: Access to my hand-picked network of high-performing thinkers, makers, and doers in brand, design, and motion.

My career started in 1999 at DDB, dubbing tapes and teaching myself to edit after hours. That "scrappy" start still defines my work ethic today: a belief that the best advertising blends raw craft with commercial impact.

If you’re a CMO or Marketing Leader ready to turn your content into a competitive advantage, let's talk.

📧 dan@theguroos.com
The Guroos: Good people. Doing good work. For good brands. 🚀

Software Architect and Engineering Lead with 20+ years building and scaling web and mobile platforms. I specialise in JVM-based backend systems, mobile development (Android, Flutter), and the architecture that connects them.

Most recently, I led the architectural transition of a global online dating platform from legacy monoliths to .NET microservices with React frontends, while continuing to operate the existing JVM-based API platform serving over 1 billion interactions per month. I also introduced an AI-assisted software engineering program, integrating tools like Cursor and AI agents into team workflows. I lead distributed engineering teams, own DevOps pipelines, and bridge the gap between product strategy and technical execution.

My work spans hands-on development, system design, and team leadership, often all three simultaneously. I'm equally comfortable debugging a race condition in production, designing a multi-region deployment strategy, or mentoring engineers through a complex refactor.

I run my consulting practice through Ventego Creative, which has allowed me to work with organisations ranging from startups to enterprises including Vodafone, Citibank, Siemens, Cupid Media, Raygun, and DistroKid. I also maintain several open-source SDKs (Android, Flutter, Ruby, Python, Node) for Raygun's error tracking platform.

Beyond client work, I'm an active conference speaker (Droidcon, Android Makers, CFCamp, and others), a technology writer for European IT publications, and have been co-organising community meetup groups since the start of my career. I hold a Master's degree in Mathematics and Computer Science and am currently pursuing a Master's in Data Science.

Jenny Wynter is what happens when a stand-up comedian and a mental health advocate collide. Based in Queensland, she’s known for taking the stuff workplaces usually tiptoe around - the messy reality of creativity, culture, and mental load - putting it onstage, and turning it into something genuinely unforgettable.

Jenny doesn't deliver keynotes; she runs an intervention. Instead of lecturing on leadership or diversity, she uses her extensive training in improv, comedy, and musical timing to pull the audience into a shared experience. This deliberate method transforms what could be another corporate talk into a session that actually sticks - because people weren't just passively listening, they were playing.

Before she was delivering keynotes, Jenny was navigating the wards of children's hospitals as a Clown Doctor for close to five years - a gig that taught her more about high-stakes improvisation, tough audiences, and managing emotional complexity than all her training with the best of the best, (including Second City and The Groundlings in the States and Loose Moose in Canada) combined. She funnels that rare mix of stagecraft and genuine empathy into her movement, Funny Mummies™, a community built to help mothers protect their mental health through connection and laughter.

Her work has been recognised with significant accolades: the PSA Kerrie Nairn Fellowship, the first-ever ABC iView Pitch Perfect win, Excellence in Cabaret at Melbourne Fringe, Best Variety Show at United Solo Festival in New York, and a Green Room Award nomination for cabaret writing. She’s also a two-time TEDx speaker and holds a Bachelor of Communications majoring in Business Marketing. Online, she leads a Facebook community of around 30,000 women, and performs nationally and internationally, often utilising her knack for improvising songs on the spot, supported by years of vocal and keyboard training.

For event planners, Jenny also brings the practical side: full AV support, a studio with green-screen capability for virtual events, recording facilities, and a tour-ready PA system. She’s comfortable working globally, having delivered virtual keynotes to teams across the Asia Pacific, clients in the US, and organisations in the UK - always ensuring the event happens during the client's business hours, even if it means logging on in the middle of the night from Queensland.

Clients describe her the same way: warm, sharp, and genuinely inclusive. She doesn't just deliver a message; she shifts the energy of the room in minutes, leaving people feeling lighter and ready to act. If you’re looking for a keynote grounded in the messy reality of life, but delivered with the precision of a trained comedian, Jenny is the go-to speaker for an event that is truly energising and grounded in humanity.
