Marc Maley — Co-Founder
With over two decades in entertainment marketing, I’ve been fortunate to have helped shape strategies for some of the world’s most celebrated franchises, including Harry Potter, Disney, and Marvel. Today, I channel that expertise into guiding global leaders, public figures, founders, executives, and forward-thinking organisations in personal brand development and corporate L&D programmes. We turn talent into storytellers, and storytellers into leaders. Proven story principles from entertainment, reimagined for real-life personal branding. At My Brand Academy, we’ve pioneered a CPD-certified, storytelling-driven approach to personal branding, because we believe everyone has a story worth sharing. Our playbooks are designed for two key audiences: • Professional Talent (Sports, Entertainment, and Public Figures) • Workplace Professionals (from emerging leaders to the C-suite) For stars, athletes and other talent, our method emphasises authenticity, purpose, and mission, providing the confidence and clarity to attract aligned partners and create lasting impact. For organisations, our in-person workshops, lunch-and-learns, and learning platform equip teams with the tools to build future-ready leaders, elevate top talent, and drive measurable growth. -------- Today’s leading businesses and brands know this: employees won’t simply reflect your brand, they are your brand. Introducing Launchpad, Co-created by Marc Maley & Grace Andrews. Born from the belief that the strongest brands start on the inside, we help organisations ignite their brand from within, building authentic employee ambassador programmes that empower everyone, from C-suite to new starters, to become the face and voice of the brand. -------- Career Highlights: As an Executive Consultant with Penguin Random House and TikTok, I developed innovative branding strategies that have left an indelible mark on the industry. Before building and launching My Brand Academy, I shifted my focus to partnering with mission-driven executives, authors, athletes, and global leaders, helping them innovate and elevate their personal brands. My approach combines deep industry insights, a global mindset, and a bespoke "secret sauce" honed over years of shaping some of the world's most beloved entertainment brands, platforms, and talent. Previously, during my tenure as Group Director of Think Jam, a globally recognised, award-winning entertainment marketing agency, I led groundbreaking global solutions at the intersection of storytelling, branding, and marketing frameworks.
