About Dawn Gribble & DG Consulting

Welcome, I’m Dawn Gribble – it’s great to meet you! I founded DG Consulting because I love solving complex strategic marketing puzzles—identifying new audiences, finding ways to use platforms creatively, staying ahead of evolving algorithms, or mapping the buyer’s journey for each audience segment.

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 20 years of 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 and market research. I partner with businesses to uncover what’s working and what’s not, 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

To ensure quality and a fully tailored approach, I take on just two clients per month. This allows me to dedicate my full attention to understanding your business’s unique challenges, ensuring every audit is thorough and impactful. I go beyond surface-level analysis by identifying the key drivers and influencers behind your marketing, offering actionable solutions that lead to measurable, sustainable growth.

Helping Renowned Brands Achieve Success

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of partnering with top brands like Wagamama, Ramada, and the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI). I explored new markets for Wagamama by researching potential countries from a business and cultural viewpoint and presenting at franchise conferences. With the UNPRI, I optimised their social media strategy to boost engagement and reach. For Ramada, I conducted a complete digital marketing audit across the hotel, on-site restaurants, and spas, helping them streamline their spending and optimise marketing for each department. For a closer look at the impact of my work, visit my Case Studies section to see how I’ve helped businesses unlock their full potential and achieve measurable results.

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

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!
