Founder of the Imperfectly Perfect Campaign and global mental health advocate
Glenn Marsden built one of the world's most recognised mental health advocacy movements without a network, media connections or external funding. After losing a close friend to suicide in 2018, while managing his own battle with body dysmorphia, he left his fitness career to create a platform where people could share their stories without shame or stigma. He funded the work through construction night shifts while teaching himself marketing, public relations and campaign management from scratch.
The Imperfectly Perfect Campaign, which Glenn founded and continues to lead, has attracted over 500 voices spanning Hollywood actors, Fortune 500 executives and Olympic athletes, generating more than 12 million media impressions globally. That same strategic framework now informs his work with leaders and organisations through speaking, consulting and his books.
Glenn speaks on the intersection of mental wellbeing, leadership and influence — showing how authentic storytelling, platform building and purposeful advocacy can drive measurable outcomes. His sessions are particularly valuable for organisations navigating mental health culture, building internal advocacy, or developing the authority to lead meaningful change.
Glenn Marsden is a keynote speaker based in New South Wales who speaks on leadership, mental health & wellbeing and motivation. Book through Executive Speakers Australia.
