Hey, I'm Mahlia! I'm a CRM Executive at Pion - with a drama degree that doesn't get used nearly enough! I love meeting new people, great conversations, and like to balance marketing work with getting up on stage, getting in front of a camera or getting creative (hello side hustle illustration business).

I’m a global marketing executive at William Grant & Sons, leading on digital communications and experience initiatives and more for Monkey Shoulder - a premium Speyside blended malt whisky renowned for its smooth, malty character and versatility in cocktails. Passionate about building bold, authentic brands that resonate with diverse audiences, I thrive on creating engaging marketing initiatives that challenge conventions and connect meaningfully.
I am a proud alum of The Marketing Academy Foundation, an organisation dedicated to bridging the gap between diverse talent and leading organisations, providing opportunities for young individuals to embark on fulfilling careers in marketing.

Hi I’m Isaac, I’m 15 years old and currently studying for my GCSEs, the options I have chosen to do include geography, Spanish and business studies. I love going to theme parks and riding rollercoasters, and my hope for the future is that I will design some myself! I also enjoy playing online games with my friends on my PlayStation.
