Exploring Resilience and Inclusion through Cherie Clonan’s Unique Perspective
Cherie Clonan is more than a business owner; she is a dedicated advocate for accessibility and inclusivity in content delivery. Her work sheds light on the complexities of neurodiversity, blending experiences of grief and moments of joy.
Cherie’s commitment to accessibility allows us to explore the nuanced intersections of grief, neurodiversity, and resilience.
In a conversation with Griefline CMO Louisa Smith, Cherie highlights the importance of creating inclusive workplaces for neurodiverse employees. She draws on her personal experiences to emphasise how organisations can foster diversity and support neurodiverse individuals through thoughtful hiring practices and a welcoming environment.
Cherie is a proud Autistic woman and the Founding Director and CEO at The Digital Picnic, a company that teaches digital marketing… and manages a full suite of digital marketing efforts for their clients.
Cherie is an award winning digital marketer who took a risk, and left the cushiness of a well-paid, super safe in-house digital marketing role to launch The Digital Picnic in October 2014.
Cherie is responsible for ensuring that TDP is continuously providing state-of-the-art digital marketing training to businesses all over Australia/internal marketing teams, whilst also overseeing the ongoing social media management her team delivers for an incredible line-up of clients within their digital marketing portfolio.
Cherie believes her biggest success measures revolve around disrupting the digital marketing industry, and consistently leaning into that neurodivergent urge to make the world a better place for having neurodivergents circulating within it.
In doing all of this, she has built a multi-million dollar company with empathy-led leadership at the heart and soul of everything it does … and a company that has gone on to be described by all as “the nicest place on the internet”.
