About

Who is Lebo Lion

Lebo Lion is an International Speaker, Thought Leader, Content Creator & Media Entrepreneur who is popularly known as “The Voice of Marketing”. Lion uniquely defies convention in her approach to empowering professionals, corporate teams, organizations, consumers and creators with the marketing, sales and brand building tools they need to navigate a tech-driven business landscape. With her 10 years experience in strategic advisory for listed companies and her ability to design business content that drives virality, Lebo has established an emerging niche in the African business landscape for personal brand-led leadership and commercialisation.

Coining the phrases “If you’re not online you don’t exist” and “We should all build personal brands”, Lebo firmly believes that the future of marketing and brand success is in the palm of our hands.

As a former tech company founder, Lebo has a nuanced understanding of the intersections between commercialisation, brand building and technology, which gives her an added advantage as a moderator or master of ceremonies for business and tech events. Lion’s collaborations with brands on her award-winning podcast The Lebo Lion Show and on her social media platforms — housing a community of over 350 000 evangelists — enable Lion to create campaigns that help brands tap into cultural moments and authentic narratives.

Signature keynotes

Talks built for the room you're filling

01

We Should ALL Build Personal Brands

Capturing the right attention in a tech enabled world is imperative for the success of future thinking leaders. How do you position yourself as a key person of influence in the spaces that you occupy and serve, without being drowned out by the noise of your competitors?

02

What the Social?

Is social media really the marketing goldmine that it is positioned to be? In this riveting keynote Lebo Lion decodes the murky social media landscape that has catapulted some brands into commercial success and others into reputational ruin.

03

Selling in a “BRANDED” World

In the history of the world, it has never been easier than it is today to create products. At the rate at which technology is advancing, the 4th industrial complex has significantly shifted the way in which organisations sell and market their offerings. As the market becomes saturated with products, brand takes precedence.

Women & empowerment

Empower a girl child, empower a village

At the forefront of Lebo Lion’s brand pillars is women empowerment. Lebo believes that when you empower a girl child you empower a village. Her best selling women’s book “Audacity” is designed to be a life guide for the modern woman.

I believe that you lead by example. My whole career has been a display of living in AUDACITY. I want women to see me fall, fail, rise, and succeed so that they see audacity in action. I want women to know that they can achieve their wildest dreams, because no space is too big or too inaccessible for them. Their voices are needed and what they create matters
