WHAT DRIVES YOUR WORK

WHAT DOES BEING A TRAILBLAZER MEAN TO YOU?
It’s a bit surreal, but mainly it means that having persistence to challenge how things are done and push our approach forward is working.
ADVICE FOR SOMEONE THINKING OF ENTERING?
Just go for it. Focus on what you’ve genuinely changed or influenced. Realise the impact your work and you are having – regardless of what others may say or think. That’s what stands out.
WHAT'S NEXT?
Keep building on the momentum, embedding marketing deeper into the business and pushing for bigger, more joined-up impact.
