Charlie Clarey
Charlie started her journey in marketing with the entire rebrand of over 80 cinemas of what today falls under VUE Entertainment. Heading the partnerships and promotions departments meant she directly shaped the marketing initiatives rolled out across all the cinemas in the group’s portfolio.
From there, she took a brief stint in launching a new own-brand product for a British chain of garden centres, and then moved to join the European Digital Retail team at Samsung keeping the tech giant’s messaging, pricing and content aligned with retail partners.
Her passion for marketing led her to set off her own consultancy where she now advises female founders on how to create simple yet effective marketing. Her desire to make marketing easy and accessible from the smallest startup to large marketing departments led to joining forces, as our leading Consultant on the Brand & Marketing Strategy for the Identity 360° program.
