Mia Fileman
Owner of Campaign Del Mar
Online business today is a marketing swamp.
It’s awash with self-proclaimed gurus, seven-figure megaphoners, and regurgitated formulas that don’t work.
Mia Fileman has had a gutful. She’s known for her straight-shooting, no-BS approach—calling out the fluff, the false promises, and the tactics with a shelf life of five minutes.
A global marketing and campaign strategist, Mia has spent two decades honing her craft—working for brands like Vegemite, Maybelline, and BIC.
Now, she's a marketing trainer and mentor for SMEs, helping them create memorable, multi-channel marketing that delivers tangible business results.
As the founder of Campaign Del Mar, co-founder of Ripple Festival, mum, and proud defence partner, Mia proves that success doesn’t have to mean constant chaos. She’s built a career on smart strategy over chasing shiny objects, showing that strong boundaries, clear priorities, and sustainable marketing can fuel real growth—without selling out.
