Marianne has no magic powers. She has no supernatural abilities whatsoever. None.
Or does she?
No. No, she doesn't.
Rumours abound and, frankly, it's Marianne's own fault. What did she think would happen when, in just two short years, she took Incisive from a smouldering ember of ambition to a widely-recognised professional marketing organisation with an enviable go-to reputation? Talk of mystical talents was inevitable.
So, what's her secret? Let's take a look at what's hidden up Marianne's sleeves...
What's this? 10 years broad-based marketing experience in asset management, working for the likes of HBOS, Fidelity International and Legal & General? How did that get in here?
And what's this? Senior experience as Head of Marketing in the legal sector, providing full service strategic marketing?
Well, now it's all starting to make sense. And this? An Investment Management Certificate and Post Graduate Diploma in Marketing from the Chartered Institute of Marketing?
How big are these sleeves, anyway?
There's more. An untarnished reputation for delivering a high standard of work across multiple client accounts, with different demands, in a variety of disciplines? See? Marianne has no magical gifts at all. In fact, she's nothing but your run-of-the-mill consummate professional.
Mystery solved. Let's hear no more of this foolishness.
