Marie-Claire Ross

After having completed her Honors degree at Monash University in sociology (with a Psychology major), Marie-Claire began her career at top Australian market research company (ACNielsen), to research consumer and business behaviour. At AC Nielsen, she worked with well renowned advertising agencies and communication consultancies to test their communication campaigns to provide relevant advice for improved results.

Marie-Claire crafted her word-savvy skills from analyzing research data and having to communicate the results succinctly for time-poor marketing and business executives.

For 13 years, she has been an executive producer writing scripts for marketing and training videos in order to influence and engage, as well as articles on communication that have been published worldwide. Her popular Workplace Communicator blog is read by close to 10,000 people each month.

Marie-Claire has worked with both Australian and international companies such as CSR, Murray Goulburn, Incitec Pivot, BlueScope Steel and Country Fire Authority to create engaging videos that reduce injuries and remove the “mystery” behind procedures.

She values authentic, simple heart-felt communication and is passionate about helping safety communicators better deliver their safety messages, in order to reduce workplace risk. She’s also a keen observer of human behaviour.

Marie-Claire has appeared as a guest speaker on Sky Business News and interviewed for BRW. She’s also been awarded two Learnx Gold Awards for "Best Use of Video in a Training Program".

In her spare time, she loves to read business and human behaviour books, cook vegan food, play with her children (by getting them to read), jog and dance (but not at the same time).
