Not another keynote

Tuesday.

Takes people, brands and businesses from invisible to unmissable. With brand and AI.

On a mission to help 1 million UK women find financial freedom through AI and visibility.

Speaking is my superpower. I’m happiest with a mic in my hand and a room to hold. I’ve performed stand-up at Edinburgh Festival and The Comedy Store, created the executive events the industry measured itself against, and held keynote rooms from Cannes Lions to SXSW to Advertising Week. I know how to land a talk. Whatever the room.

What I do

Keynotes. Workshops. Hosting.

I don't do one-size-fits-all. Every brief is different. Every room is different. Here's what I can bring.

Keynotes

The talk they actually remember.

High-energy, story-driven talks that make your audience think differently about brand, AI, creativity and what it means to be unmissable. Not a slide deck. Not a lecture. Something they'll actually remember walking out the door.

Ideal for opening or closing keynotes when you need energy, clarity and a message that sticks.

Workshops

Actual work. Not watching a deck.

Practical sessions where people actually do things. AI tools, brand strategy, personal branding, storytelling. Small groups, big energy. Everyone leaves with something they can use the next day.

Perfect for leadership teams, marketing organisations and high-potential talent who need to experiment with AI and brand strategy in a high-energy, practical environment.

Hosting & Awards

You shape the night. I make sure they remember it.

Conferences, panels, awards ceremonies, fireside chats. I bring warmth, wit, pace and the kind of energy that makes everyone in the room feel like they're part of something.

Clients book me when they need a host who can handle senior rooms, sensitive topics and still keep the energy high.

The stage, the stand-up, the boardroom

Most speakers have a presentation.
I have a set.

I've performed stand-up comedy at the Edinburgh Festival and The Comedy Store in London. Not as a hobby. As someone who wanted to know what it feels like to hold a room with nothing but a microphone and a story.

That experience changed everything about how I speak. It taught me timing, vulnerability, how to read a room in real time, and how to make 500 people feel like you're talking just to them.

The boardroom brain with the stand-up delivery. That's the combination.

Whether it's a room of 50 CMOs or a conference of 2,000, I bring the same energy: prepared, personal, and impossible to tune out.

What I talk about

Topics that make rooms lean in.

Every talk is tailored to the audience. But these are the themes I keep coming back to, because they keep landing.

Invisible to Unmissable Personal brand for the AI era AI for women, founders and leaders Brand × AI Future of work and visibility Founders and growth Closing the AI skills gender gap Brand experiences and events that move markets Leadership, careers and reinvention

Keynote / Workshop

Invisible to Unmissable: Personal Brand

How to be impossible to overlook in the rooms that decide your future. Position, property and proof. Not the LinkedIn-hack version.

For career networks, leadership programmes, female founder events, agency away-days and internal L&D.

Keynote

Invisible to Unmissable: AI is on Your Side

Why AI is the most generous tool women have been handed in a generation. Time returned, thinking sharpened, growth unlocked. Cognitive extension, not cost-cutting.

For women's networks, leadership audiences, founder events, business conferences and internal AI literacy programmes.

Keynote

Invisible to Unmissable: Brand × AI

What thirty years of brand thinking does when it meets cognitive extension. Brand as the moat. AI as the test of whether your brand was ever distinctive in the first place.

For marketing conferences, agency leadership, CMO summits and brand teams inside big businesses.

Keynote / Panel

Invisible to Unmissable: The Future of Work

Work on your visibility now, before the rules rewrite you. Capability gap, not pay gap. Don't climb the ladder. Build another one.

For mid-senior career events, women in business networks, leadership conferences and internal L&D for big corporates.

Keynote / Masterclass

Invisible to Unmissable: Founders

What she learned reinventing at fifty and building three businesses from zero. Visibility is the cheapest capital you'll ever raise. AI is your first hire. Brand is the moat.

For founder networks, accelerators, female founder events, scale-up conferences and business schools.

Keynote / Masterclass

Creating events people can't stop talking about

Google's Executive Summit, rated the best in the industry for seven years running. Trust, connection and electric rooms. The craft of building moments that move markets.

For marketing and events teams designing executive experiences, customer summits or flagship conferences.

Speaker bios

Nishma Patel Robb takes people, brands and businesses from invisible to unmissable. With brand and AI. It is the through-line of the stages she takes, the brands she advises and the businesses she's built.

Her mission: help 1 million UK women find financial freedom through AI and visibility.

She spent ten years at Google UK as Senior Director of Brand and Reputation Marketing, where she helped launch Bard (now Gemini), grew YouTube, and built Digital Garage, the free digital skills programme that trained over a million people in this country, most of them women. That work taught her one thing: being unmissable is a craft, not luck. Her keynotes are where she passes it on.

She is the founder of Unmissable, the brand and AI advisory; founder of Glittersphere, the community where ambitious women get AI-fluent and unmissable in the same room; and co-founder of HERA Media, the UK's first female-focused video podcast network. She was the 101st President of WACL, is President of the History of Advertising Trust, and a Fellow of the Marketing Society and the IPA.

She has done stand-up at the Comedy Store, hosts the rooms most people want invitations to, and wears sequins on principle.
