I provide the forensic strategic insights that global hospitality and foodservice brands use to bridge the gap between their identity and their guests.
As a neurodivergent professional, I excel at systems and processes. I bring a unique perspective that helps businesses discover untapped marketing opportunities, expand into new markets, and better understand consumer behaviour through neuromarketing insights.
With over 25 years of marketing experience across Food & Beverage, Hospitality, Professional Services, and E-commerce, and a first-class degree in Business Management, I specialise in delivering bespoke marketing audits. I partner with businesses to uncover what’s working and what isn’t, offering actionable insights and clear steps for your team to implement. The result? A clear path to long-term success.
A Bespoke Approach to Marketing
For over 25 years, I have helped brands build deep, lasting connections with their ideal guests and commercial clients. I do not offer generic agency packages; I provide a high-level forensic analysis of your strategic DNA to identify exactly where your growth is being throttled.
To maintain this level of forensic detail, I only accept four audit commissions per month. This ensures that every brand I partner with receives my full strategic attention and a roadmap designed for immediate market authority.
Helping Renowned Brands Achieve Success
My approach is built on over two decades of high-stakes experience, from researching international markets for Wagamama to developing social media strategies for the United Nations (UN PRI). Whether working with global hotel groups like Ramada or supply-chain giants like Sysco, the mission has always been to uncover the strategic gaps that hinder growth.
I’ve taken the rigorous methodologies required by these global organisations and refined them into a forensic audit process for a select few clients. I only take on four of these audits each month to ensure I can provide the deep, focused analysis that your business deserves.

What People Say About Dawn Gribble
Dawn offered such thoughtful insights into AI and where the foodservice industry is heading. She has a real gift for breaking down complex topics and making them accessible and engaging for everyone in the room. It is rare to find someone who combines deep expertise with the ability to communicate so clearly and compellingly.
Dawn is one of the finest writers I have ever come across. Her ability to craft a message with precision and heart is something truly special. We were so fortunate to have Dawn join us as a presenter at our Sysco Virtual Summit.
Thank you so much, Dawn, for sharing your time and talents with us. We are grateful and hope to work with you again in the future.
Jay Ashton
Sysco
At the recently held Middle East Food Forum in Abu Dhabi, Dawn was the moderator of a panel discussion that I was a part of. Besides being tremendously knowledgeable about Food & Beverage, she demonstrated an instinctive, in-depth understanding of the Middle East Market. Her observations on how food service is evolving in the region were spot on, as were her recommendations on how operators can effectively adapt to the rapidly changing dynamics of the sector. Its always a true pleasure to get acquainted with top notch professionals in their field, and Dawn Gribble, most certainly being one of them, has left an indelible impression
Sanjay Duggle
Vice President MENAFA
Dawn hosted one of our social media courses for our Hospitality project and delivered a 3-hour talk to over 15 different businesses at our base location. She was extremely approachable, knowledgeable and opened up the lecture style course for any questions throughout urging people to use their phones alongside her when showing different tools. As a marketer myself, I’ve taken lots of tips and stats away from this course and will use in my everyday work. I’d highly recommend Dawn and hope to have her back again in the future!
