MEET THE FOUNDER
"The thing I’m most proud of is building spaces where ambition feels safe and reminding people that success doesn’t have to come at the cost of yourself."
Olivia Hanlon founded Girls in Marketing with a simple intention: to create the kind of space she wished existed when she was starting out.
What began as a small community in 2019 has since grown into a global platform supporting thousands of marketers to build confidence, develop their skills, and feel a true sense of belonging within the industry.
Named in Forbes 30 Under 30, Olivia has trained over 30,000 marketers, partnered with leading brands including Adobe and Modash, and built an audience of over 600,000 across social platforms. But beyond the numbers, her mission has always remained the same: to create spaces where ambition feels safe, success feels accessible, and no one has to navigate their career alone.
We are a community-focused learning provider for ambitious marketers.
