We Are All Imposters! – Wrap up

Last Tuesday morning, Adelaide’s creative comms community came together to listen, learn and reflect on a question that resonates with many of us: “Am I an imposter?”

Set within Studio Safari’s brand new location, the event created a welcoming and open space for professionals from diverse backgrounds to share, listen and explore the realities of imposter syndrome. AADC Co-President Corey Swaffer hosted a candid, thought-provoking conversation with a panel of industry leaders to unpack confidence, self-doubt and career growth.

The panel featured:

Michael Newbold, Head of Creative & Senior Brand Manager at VOK Beverages
Matthew Clarke, Senior Coach of Glenelg Football Club
Tom Benson, Marketing Manager at Bendigo Bank
Arabella Clare, Founder of Nō. 25 Digital

Each panellist shared personal stories and practical strategies for managing that persistent inner voice of self-doubt. From reframing negative thinking to embracing vulnerability, the conversation offered both reassurance and actionable insights.

Thank you to everyone who attended, contributed and helped make this event a sell-out success.
