1. What would your MySpace song be in 2025?

Kendrick Lamar - Humble 

2. Instagram or TikTok? Defend your answer.

TikTok. It's chaotic, unfiltered, and refreshingly real. Plus, it's where culture is born - and if you’re not paying attention to what’s landing there, you're already behind.

3. What’s in your camera roll way too much?

Screenshots of genius LinkedIn posts, chaotic post-it brainstorms, photos of cool event signage, and unhinged marketing memes.

4. A tool, app, or sneaky little shortcut you swear by?

Notion. Visual af and lord knows I need organisation in my life!

5. Most underrated social media skill?

Not jumping on trends just because everyone else is.

Join the #seen Community

Join social media managers, marketers, creators and in-house teams sharing what works right now: practical advice, honest conversations, and direct access to some of the smartest people in social.

Join the community

6. If you could ban one trend forever, what would it be?

Gatekeeping. Especially in marketing. There’s room for more than one event, community, or voice at the table - share the mic!

7. Who are 3 brands/creators you’re vibing with right now?

Liquid Death – for not taking anything (especially itself) too seriously.

The Female Startup Club – empowering, insightful, and actually useful.

Jon Evans– CMO daddy and drops ridiculously useful insight and tips on marketing - also we did a Linkedin post that went viral to bring him across the ditch!

8. Go-to comfort food after a chaotic day?

Ramen.

9. Best DM you’ve ever received (or sent)?

“Your event made me feel like I actually belong in marketing again.” (Nothing beats that.)

10. What’s your biggest ick on LinkedIn right now?

People policing how others show up. There’s more than one way to be a “professional”, be "authentic" or be literally anything else you want to be - there's space at the table for all of us!
