- EP:12 - Milly Bannister, founder of Gen Z charity: AllKnd, on the power of storytelling and building your personal brand.
In a five person group chat, two of us are not okay. In this episode Milly Bannister talks about how storytelling and user generated content has helped her connect with hundreds of thousands of the GenZ audience in Australia.
Milly talks about how she navigates the dichotomy of marketing her GenZ mental health charity on a social media platform, even though a YouGov poll last year revealed that the majority of adults in Australia believe that social media bears responsibility for a decline in their mental health.
Milly shares the value of building her personal brand, and explains why she openly talks about her own mental health battles on social media. She dives into how brands can best communicate and connect with GenZ, and how you can leverage creators and influencers for the greater good.
Milly also answers the question ‘what does the future look like for the world of mental health conversations and initiatives?’
AllKnd is offering Australia's first free, digital, 60-minute peer to peer mental health first aid training, via desktop and/or mobile app. You can do your free 60 minute AllKnd good mate mental health training here: https://www.goodmatetraining.com/course/goodmatetraining

About Top of Mind
From the publisher's feed
In today's attention economy, it is no longer about being the best, it is about being the best known. Top of Mind is your go-to podcast helping you stay top-of-mind as a business brand or individual, for free.
Top-of-mind awareness as a marketing term typically talks to the first brand that comes to mind when a consumer is asked about a particular product category or niche.
When you need to buy a phone, what brand do think of? When you need to look something up online, where do you go? When you want to get a coffee with a friend, what’s the first place you recommend?
When people think of you first, they’re more likely to purchase your products, service or business.
