Savena has just been named The Drum’s Future 50 influential marketers.

She’s the brand strategist for Detective Dot: a multi-award-winning children’s book and gaming experience that teaches code and computer skills through creative storytelling.

Savena brings an amazing sense of fun to everything she does, including her brand strategy and especially this conversation. She even ends up turning the tables on Dan and Nana and asking them the questions!

In an age when someone can google your name and find pictures of you at a party ten years ago, managing your online persona is more important than ever.

That's why Victoria Pearson and her co-founders came up with Sonder Associates: A PR startup who specialise in getting business leaders higher on google search ratings.

Sonder has the connections to gets founders covered by the right kind of media, talking at events that matter and on podcasts that people actually listen too ;)

Anyone who interested in having a successful career can benefit from Victoria’s sound advice on how to enhance your online reputation.

In 2017, out of the $84 Billion in Venture Capital handed out to startups globally, only 2% went to women, 1% went to black founders, and 0.2% went to black women. 

Backstage Capital developed out of a belief that this is not only unfair but a wasted business opportunity.

So beginning in LA in 2015, then Detroit and Philadelphia more recently, Backstage began investing in startup founders who identify as Women, Person of Colour, and/or LGBTQ.

Now, Backstage has arrived in London with Anisah Osman Britton and Andy Ayim leading the UK accelerator program.
