A special guest host! In today's episode of The Engaging Marketeer, Emily took to the mic to interview Maira Sheikh for an intimate discussion on having your own back in a world where, particularly as a woman, it can be easy to feel intimidated or overlooked. Maira is a personal brand photographer based in Cheshire, who works primarily with women in business. Her goal is to help them feel more confident in front of the camera, increasing their visibility in marketing - which, in turn, helps them attract more clients. Topics in today's talk include how Maira was expected to bleach her skin from a young age to conform to societal expectations, the industry's unobtainable beauty standards and how, sometimes, the biggest obstacle standing in your way is your own self doubt.

By the age of just 14, a novel she wrote on the story-writing website Wattpad had amassed more than a million views! Straight out of university with a First in English Literature and History, Emily’s cheery persona and quick thinking have served her well in customer service roles with several retailers, but she got her break in the world of publishing thanks to a work experience role with Penguin Books. Emily joined Engage Web as a Content Editor, before moving into a Digital Marketing Executive role, and today, she brings an enthusiasm and eye for detail to her role as Digital Marketing Manager at Engage Web.

The domino effect of failing to show up How you do anything is how you do everything - and that’s how it’s perceived. So, while you might believe that saying you’ll be somewhere and then not showing up is harmless, this could have an impact on how other people see you - and, in turn, your reputation.

When dreams don't always meet your expectations - don’t give up! Following university, Jack has had a varied and expansive career in the film industry - from working on renowned shows like Peaky Blinders and huge films like Fast & Furious to eventually running his own film production company, Eight Engines. In today's episode of The Engaging Marketeer, Jack discusses the range of experiences that often come from working in what is often seen as a "glamorous" industry. He talks about how he often suffered from feeling isolated, working as much as 16 hours per day, and the downright dangerous locations his career took him - like a military base in Kenya. His passion for TV and film, however, remains evident, and he now uses his agency to tell the story of others, helping businesses to creatively showcase their message to the rest of the world.
