The Thinking Behind New Rebellion

By Filip Ivanković

Director, New Rebellion

Filip has led enterprise marketing functions, managed a $40M budget and delivered 30% growth on a $200M base. An ex-CMO with experience across agency, client and vendor roles he understands where marketing delivers and where it gets stuck.


New Rebellion was built to create something sharper. A model that connects strategy to delivery, fast.


Hi, I’m Fil.

I'm a director that's spent nearly the past decade in leadership roles across both agency-side and client-side. I’ve seen how much gets lost in translation between strategy and execution.

Teams are at capacity. Budgets somehow always feel tight. Impact isn’t where it should be. Marketing becomes seen a cost centre after targets weren't hit. People point fingers.

Nothing really changes. Just another crisis meeting. Teams keep trying their best investing heavily in strategies that haven't yet delivered. Sound familiar?

New Rebellion was started to help smart businesses maximise commercial outcomes through growth, refinement and strategy.



I’ve seen it from both sides.

On the agency side, I learned how to move fast. How to make campaigns run. How to stretch lean budgets. I also saw how good creative ideas can lose impact when delivery is disconnected.

Then I moved in-house. I led teams, managed a top 50 budget in the country, built up internal capabilities and delivered on budgeted multi-year growth. In this time I saw how even the best strategies can fail without clear execution and how marketing loses trust when commercial accountability is missing.

In both worlds, I saw the same thing: people with good intentions, blocked by broken systems. Lots of action, not enough impact.





What makes New Rebellion different?
