Sending your and overseas is a high security risk that your organisation and Australia can't afford.

Australia’s critical infrastructure data, such as the location of , , and assets, shouldn’t be sitting on an overseas server.

When you engage Australian Spatial Analytics, all of your data stays within Australia and is subject to Australian laws and regulations. This means you have zero modern slavery risks and full data sovereignty compliance.

We’re trusted by all levels of government, Tier 1 contractors and multiple industries to deliver data services that are essential for Australia’s critical infrastructure pipeline.

‘Bugger all budget. Maximum impact. The not-for-profit marketing playbook.’

That’s the title of Anthony Bianco’s talk, our Marketing and Communications Manager, at the Content Summit 2027. So, what is he on about? Well, what if your biggest marketing asset wasn't a budget, but your why?

Australian Spatial Analytics is a not-for-profit social enterprise (think a business solution to fix a social problem) using ‘big data’ to provide sustainable careers for young autistic adults facing a staggering 34% unemployment rate.

With very limited marketing spend, ASA’s strategy generated a reach of 330 million in just six months, anchored by CEO Geoffrey Smith winning the 2025 Queensland Australian of the Year. That recognition didn't just build awareness and brand. It also unlocked new contracts and philanthropic opportunities.

This keynote delivers a practical hitlist for mission-led organisations and will cover:

📈A step-by-step action plan, including learnings from previous Content Summits

📺 Earned media — how to land coverage across industry and mainstream outlets

🏆 Events and awards — leveraging platforms like The Australian Financial Review Most Innovative Companies to amplify your mission, and

📣 The Simon Sinek principle in action — people don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it.

He will also cover something the creative industries rarely say out loud. Neurodivergent professionals (e.g. autism, ADHD, dyslexia) make up nearly 50% of the workforce. While the creative industries may be implicitly inclusive, most workplaces aren't designed with neurodivergent people in mind. Anthony will share practical, actionable tips for building a neuroinclusive environment, which are also good for everyone.

The summit, run by the amazing people at The Content Division, is a massive two-day marketing event from March 9-10 2027 at the Brisbane Powerhouse. If you’re passionate about content, brand, and creative strategy, this is the place to be! Find out more about the Content Summit and grab your tickets here: https://contentsummit.com.au/
