Background

Shōnavee Simpson-Anderson is Head of Community & Field Marketing at Firewire Digital. She has worked in copywriting and the online space since 2011, joined the agency in 2020, and leads how Firewire shows up across the search industry: community, events, partnerships and field marketing across Australia.

She co-founded and organises Edge of Search, Australia's only dedicated search and AI search conference, which launched in 2024 and brings together search marketers and AI-search practitioners from across the country. Running it alongside agency work gives her an unusual read on where the industry is heading, and lands the next wave of thinking back into the agency before it lands anywhere else.

Direct specialist access is the operating model at Firewire. Clients and partners work with the people doing the work, not an account manager translating. Shōnavee builds the relationships and the community presence that the rest of the agency's work sits inside.
