It’s been an epic week at MAD//FEST LONDON 2024! From insightful sessions to laughs with the team, we had the best time. Here are some of the team’s highlights… Consistency was a theme that stood out to Kerry. “Lots of brands were talking about how their consistent messaging creates fame. Specsavers’ 20-year-old campaign 'Should've' is so well-known that people use it for their own humour, as their audience knows it so well. This shows that the need to constantly change campaigns or branding isn't always the winning idea.” Tom Ollerton and Rachel Kerrone’s session from Starling Bank was a favourite for Joanna. “They spoke on the importance of focusing on building a quality customer base when building a brand and that it's not the scale at the beginning but the quality of the customer that matters most. This is what builds trusted brands & loyal customer bases. Paige loved the Barbie session. “Despite the backlash they have faced over the years, they never lost their core objective - that Barbie is a role model for young girls to inspire them to dream big and achieve anything. If Barbie can do it, so can you!” Cheryl’s highlight was listening to the 10 learnings from Who Gives A Crap about how they have built a successful brand. The first one resonated the most; “Everyone loves puppies!" Ben Farren from SPOKE delivered a session on building long-term brand awareness through TV advertising, which was a standout for Fiona. “His quote ‘out of fear of what I might feel if I didn’t try’ resonated with me so much, as this is how I feel with my business. It’s a powerful reminder to take risks and innovate." A statement from Eddie Izzard’s talk stood out to Loren - “Be bold, be brave and never doubt yourself!” Molly’s key takeaway from the event was the sheer variety of speakers and CEOs. “It was great to see a variety of ages throughout the sessions, not to mention all the inspiring female leaders on the Female Leaders' Club stage.” Bring on MAD//FEST 2025! What was your highlight from the event? Let us know in the comments… #BrandChampions #MadFestLondon #FemaleLeadersClub

🎥 Want to know the top PR strategies you’ll need for 2025 and beyond? Let’s dive into the first one: Disruptive Storytelling! In a fast-paced world, brands must embrace bold narratives.

Probably can find me play Drake’s ‘In My Feelings’ on repeat today because VRAI turned *five* yesterday! I’ve spent over a decade of my life in the influencer industry so I definitely saw A LOT before I decided to launch VRAI with a few founding principles: I wanted to be known as an agency that was incredibly strategic in how we worked with brands against their KPI goals WHILE doing it from a place of kindness and intention. If I’ve learned anything in this industry, it’s that people want to work with people they like. My goal as a manager is to let the magic happen between creator and brand, but to be here to make sure the process is fun (above all else!) and enjoyable! Let’s remember we have one of the best jobs in the world. On all sides of the biz, we’re responsible for letting these creators live a DREAM job, creating from a place of passion and connecting humans from all over the world from all walks of life. I also knew I wanted to bring a boutique, personalized approach to management where creators truly felt supported. Where they, their families and their wellbeing felt taken care of. Has that hard to scale at mass when I personally manage all of the talent? Yes. It's why we've kept a curated roster. Does it bring purpose to my work, though? Hell yes! I’ll leave ya with this if you’re thinking of starting your own gig. Over the last 5 years, I’ve unsubscribed to the notion that it is risky. There are far more decisions you will make in your life that can be deemed risky. How can it be risky if you’re betting on yourself? Who/what better to bet on? Cheers to the next 5! ✨

For the longest time, I thought my work would speak for itself. Starting the Female Founders Rise personal branding challenge tomorrow—aiming to get to 5000 followers before the end! I was also brought up not to self promote or show off. Since being a founder apart from the Kat I have actually struggled a lot with speaking up always, especially on LinkedIn. I don't wan't to post something that I look dodgy in, I don't want to post anything that offends anyone, I don't want to post anything that makes me uncomfortable, I always want to look perfect. I know a lot about branding, but somehow never really managed to scale my personal brand in the manner I scale other brands. Maybe cause I am always holding back a bit, maybe cause the most authentic part I keep hidden. Well it stops here. Stepping into the spotlight and owning my story is just as important. Not posting make-up free selfie's here yet, but give me time, the challenge is ON! and I like to win! Female Founders Rise Emmie Faust Vanessa Shepherd

I attended a Women's Day event yesterday Here's what it taught me about building a personal brand Just Kidding This isn't one of those posts I won't get into the clichés of building your personal brand on LinkedIn today But I did take away some valuable lessons from the incredible women who shared their stories at the event That you can apply to any aspect of your life online and offline 1) Empower Others ↳ Your presence should be provide a place of value. Use your voice to uplift and support others 2) Storytelling is powerful ↳ Share your experiences, struggles, and successes. You never know who might resonate with your story and find comfort in your journey 3) Take up space ↳ Don't be afraid to speak up, and show your talents. Don't dim your light to fit in, stand out and be proud of who you are 4) A solid community is everything ↳ Surround yourself with like-minded individuals who support and uplift you. Everyone needs a community to lean on 5) Ask for help ↳ Don't be afraid to reach out for help. You're never alone and never feel like you are alone, it can be difficult to do everything by yourself PS: Happy Women's Day 💪🏻 #personalbrand #personalbrandstrategist #womensday #motivation ______________________ 👋 Hi I'm Sonum, a Social Media Manager and Personal Brand Strategist 🔔If you like my content FOLLOW and hit the BELL icon so you won't miss a post

e.l.f. Cosmetics has launched an eye-catching campaign highlighting a startling statistic: there are more men named Richard, Rich, Rick, or Dick on corporate boards than a significant number of minority groups. e.l.f. Cosmetics, however, stands out as one of only four U.S. publicly traded companies with a board that's two-thirds women and one-third diverse. Huge ads around Wall Street, including the Fulton Street station, feature the provocative slogan, “It’s ok to be a Dick. But America’s Boardrooms need more of everyone else.” The campaign has sparked excitement across e.l.f.'s social channels, with followers praising its boldness and commitment to diversity. It's a powerful reminder of the importance of diversity and representation in corporate leadership. As one Instagram follower put it, “The approach. The tenacity. The accuracy. 🔥🔥🔥🔥.” For brands, this should be another great example of how genuine diversity initiatives resonate deeply with consumers, and taking a stand can lead to significant brand loyalty and admiration. #DiversityInLeadership #CorporateDiversity #ELFCosmetics #BoldCampaign #InclusionMatters
