Can you tell us about your journey at Tellwell and how you got started as a marketing consultant?

Working in publishing has always been a dream of mine, so after finishing my master’s in Writing, Editing and Publishing at the University of Queensland, I began searching for publishing roles in Australia. I’d like to say I walked into a job fresh out of university, but it took six months of searching, all while I continued working at my local bookstore. Finally, I came across Tellwell and began working as a marketing consultant.
