About the speaker
Abba is the former CMO of fintech mortgage disruptor Habito, famous for its batshit crazy advertising. This approach generated 350% almost instant growth for the business and a 75% reduction on customer acquisition costs. She took the brand into new realms for financial services, from Rick & Morty TV ads, to a mortgage kama sutra and into a groundbreaking skateboard partnership.
Her strategy not only drove exponential growth for the business but also saw the brand win countless awards including Marketing Society Best start-up 2020, Contagious Brand of the Year 2022, Best Sports Partnership 2022 and a D&AD Pencil. Not bad for a start-up!
She is a seasoned industry awards judge and speaker and is not afraid to speak her mind!
Outside of work Abba swims, cycles, skateboards and surfs.
