You can't spell Marissa without A.I. and you can't spell marketing without MK. I'm a marketer, entrepreneur, innovator and frenzied futurist - a recovering workaholic who thrives in chaos and newly self-appointed Key Opinion Leader in the A.I. space. If you asked AI to generate a concoction of Oscar Wilde, Hedy Lamarr, Don Draper, Paris Hilton, Joan Rivers and a sprinkle of Steve Jobs… you would get me.
I have a passion for leading businesses owners to the cutting edge of Artificial Intelligence. While I have been running businesses since 2016, establishing a marketing agency in the midst of a global pandemic, epitomises my approach to life - diamonds are made under pressure.
My love for marketing began when I was offered a position at Marriott International's Digital Marketing Hub for Southern Europe. Upon relocating overseas for this position, I found the industry a perfect fit. I absolutely adored my team as well as all the phenomenal work that came with the territory. Until 2020 rolled around, taking a sledgehammer to tourism.
Choosing the path of self-employment once again, I opened up my own Digital Marketing and Media Agency in February of 2021... with no idea a four month lockdown was just around the corner - it's been an exponential climb ever since, for the business and my cortisol.
To date, I have also been Chief of Staff for several businesses & founders in tandem with running the agency. With a clear adrenaline addiction - I will undoubtedly unpack with a shrink in my 30's - in 2023, I decided to cannibalise my own business as my love affair with AI became more than just a fling.
Now, MxM is a fully integrated AI marketing mega-mind, business development bot and culture computer all rolled into what is the newly unveiled MaCHiNE MaiSON. We have synthesised artificial intelligence into almost all of our services. MxM consults are still 100% human (I truly could talk under wet cement) although, there's plenty of evidence to suggest that I too, am a Large Language Model.
When materialising into physical form, I thrive on sharing insights and sparking conversations on stage and across the airwaves. Explore recent features and discover how we can collaborate to bring cutting-edge perspectives to your audience.

"Never strive for perfection, strive for evolution.
Perfection is a fallacy, evolution is fulfillment."
- Marissa Kos
Diamonds are made under pressure. Embrace chaos, innovate relentlessly, rest purposefully (driving drunk at the laptop and making a mess you or someone else will have to mop up later is not a badge of honour). Work shouldn't just be productive; it should be transformative
AI is for EVERY. ONE. It has been trained on us, and therefore, ours to enjoy and collaborate with. There is no elitism or prerequisites that should stop anyone from leveraging the endless assistance of AI. The future belongs to those who can seamlessly integrate human ingenuity with artificial intelligence.
Have consistent, blatant disregard for what others think. Your morals and ethics are everything - what you stand for is who you are, fence-sitting weasels cause the most trouble. Being a good friend is the most important skill to attain. Squeeze absolutely everything you can out of life - leave it all on the court.
"It ain't about how hard you're hit, it's about how you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward." - Rocky Balboa
I envision a future where technology amplifies human potential, automating the mundane and freeing us to focus on creativity, strategy, and connection. A future of abundance and true appreciation for the glory of the human condition when freed from the stresses of manufactured scarcity.
To demystify artificial intelligence and motivate everyone to harness its power, transforming challenges into opportunities and building a future we as a species can be proud of. You should always walk out of MxM more autonymously empowered than when you walked in.
