Coral: I Had No Idea What Marketing Was (Now I’m a Director)

This week on Behind the Future, we chat with Coral, a Marketing Director who went from planning weddings to leading campaigns.

She didn’t even know what marketing was at first – but one rewrite of a murder mystery invite changed everything. Now, with over 10 years’ experience, Coral shares how she found her path, why soft skills matter, and how failures can fuel success.

If you're curious about creative careers (with a bit of chaos), this one’s for you!
