Liz’s career teacher told her she should be a librarian. Sadly, she never made it. Instead, Liz is an award-winning marketer with 20 years’ experience at global media companies.
She is now an editor and partner at Tortoise where she runs the ThinkIn programme. She’s also the ‘voice of Tortoise’ in all Tortoise’s member communications. She was Chief Marketing Officer for the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity (known as the ‘Oscars’ of the advertising industry) and spent three crazy years being sued by C-list celebrities as publisher of heat magazine. She’s also worked for The Times, The Telegraph and ELLE.
Join us as she shares a bit about how she’s managed to blag it for this long, despite failing to get into University twice and repeatedly rebounding off the glass ceiling.
By registering for the event, the student automatically receives complimentary membership to Tortoise (worth £100)!
Please note:
- Attendance and Tortoise membership is for students aged 16+.
- The ThinkIn will take place on Zoom. There will be 5 members of Tortoise staff moderating the event.
- Students’ cameras will be on, but the students can turn them off. Students cannot unmute themselves. Staff can mute and remove attendees off the live event should they cause disruption.
