ABOUT

My name is Hannah Alley; I’m a 21 year old Trade Marketing Executive for the world’s leading Italian designer eyewear producer & distributor, based within the outskirts of London.

To say I had a vast imagination when I was younger is an understatement; my mind would wander as I envisaged myself within a number of different professions: a teacher, a ballet dancer, a writer, a singer. I created movies at the age of nine on my mobile, and would source computer programs to merge scenes together. I attempted to write my own book at the age of twelve. And by the time I had reached nineteen, I succeeded in capturing two of my passions (writing and creativity) within one: Marketing & PR.

I started my working career at the age of eighteen, snapping up a job as a  'Runner’ for one of the largest Post-Production Houses, where I would spend my days riding a little box bike around London (I could have sworn my calves had grown half the size of my head from the countless lunch runs on this bike), and meeting top producers and famous clients such as Top Gear. I suppose this was my first proper job, which helped me to grow and build on my character by the second. I quickly grasped the ins and outs of the media industry and I developed a love for it.

Whilst Marketing within the luxury fashion industry for almost three years now, I simultaneously blogged for luxury clothing brand & lifestyle publication Maggie Semple Ltd for a year and seven months, blogging weekly under my most favourite categories: Beauty, Fashion, Lifestyle, Travel and Events. My time at Maggie Semple Ltd meant I was able to write two double page spread features for their magazine issue ‘IX’ and, most importantly, I was able to gain some incredible experience as their youngest Blogger. However after spending many days writing some lovely columns for the company, I wanted to create something of my own; which is want landed me here.

Now, I am working with the world’s top designer brands (the likes of Chopard, Carolina Herrera, Furla, Dunhill, Police and many more) in my beloved Marketing job, liaising directly with trade press magazines and securing coverage within several eyewear publications, being Head of Communicetions, providing immersive copy and undertaking interviews on behalf of the fashion company I work for, creating savvy email campaigns and attending famous events such as London Fashion Week (the Mulberry catwalk, upon their invitation) and 100% Optical, along with the odd Press Day which I adore. Handling the most luxurious of frames day in, day out, means I have developed an eye for fashion and design - a module I am keen to include within my blog.

As a keen blogger with a love for Marketing, PR and all things fashion and beauty related, I am positive, dedicated and business driven. As my career progresses, I I see myself making further waves in Marketing and PR. However over the next year I have set myself the task of making a real start within the Blogging sector, building connections with businesses in need of PR and Marketing services.
