MHH: In your most recent role, what was a valuable lesson you learned that you’ll take with you into your next role?
Brendan: I believe I learned this some time ago, but my last role certainly gave me a refresher. This is business, it's not personal. The relationships you make will transcend business needs. Even though you may not fit into the business needs right now, that doesn't mean you shouldn't work diligently to maintain relationships with your colleagues/leadership, if that makes sense.
MHH: What are you looking for in a future role? Are there any dream companies you’d like to work for?
Brendan: I simply love to connect the dots for talent & clients alike. In terms of a future role, I'd be targeting an organization that needs quality talent delivered quickly, and I'm certainly open to diversifying my background and entertaining opportunities outside of the M&A sector.
MHH: What's something you know now that you wish you knew earlier on in your career?
Brendan: Talking is easy. Listening is difficult. What I value, the person on the other side may not value. Make sure when you're listening that you're actually HEARING what the person is telling you.

MHH: In your most recent role, what was a valuable lesson you learned that you’ll take with you into your next role?

Ashley: I'm ideally looking to remain in the creator economy, either in creator partnerships or a biz ops/strategy role, but am also open to exploring brand management/digital marketing elsewhere.
MHH: What's something you know now that you wish you knew earlier on in your career?

Lauren Reiss (prev. Social Media Management Consultant)

Chloe Thompson (prev. Head of Global Content Strategy & Thought Leadership at Reward Gateway)
Open to (preferably dog-friendly!) hybrid opportunities in Boston, MA, or Remote for the right position
MHH: Tell us briefly about your career thus far!
Chloe: I've been in content marketing my whole career, and telling stories since elementary school, handing out zines about lunch specials in 'My Made Up World.' I've been on the editorial side for years and shifted over to marketing about a decade ago, most recently at a b2b tech company that became an HR tech unicorn, valued at £1.15, where I led the global content strategy and team, creating a content engine that fueled millions in pipeline and net new sales. After lapping the millennial tenure a few times over, I'm now looking for my next adventure at a company I can wake every day excited about.
MHH: In your most recent role, what was a valuable lesson you learned that you’ll take with you into your next role?
Chloe: You know that saying, put your own life mask on before helping others? I think in a time where burnout is becoming more and more normal, finding ways to bring your best self to work has become even more important. Setting healthy boundaries seems counterproductive, but in reality, it'll help you love your job even more if you can define what you need in your day to day.
MHH: What are you looking for in a future role?
Chloe: I'd love to get back to work building and optimizing a content engine at a company that has a mission I feel passionate about. I've been in B2B tech for 7.5 years so that's where I feel most comfortable, but at this point in my career I'm most excited about being in an environment where I can teach what I know, and soak up what I don't.
MHH: What's something you know now that you wish you knew earlier on in your career?
Chloe: Observing is a massive part of learning. Figure out who you admire most, and then study them. How do they act when they're "in the spotlight" and how do they bring people with them? What leadership lessons can you learn from simply observing?
Amy Gijsbers van Wijk (prev. Content Writer and Strategist at Stripe)
Open to hybrid opportunities in NYC, or Remote
MHH: Tell us briefly about your career thus far!
Amy: I'm a copywriter and content strategist. Most recently, I was at Stripe and have primarily worked in the fintech, SaaS, and start-up space. Additionally, I have a history of non-profit experience and freelance copy work.
MHH: In your most recent role, what was a valuable lesson you learned that you’ll take with you into your next role?
Amy: I learned to always over-communicate, especially when you're working with a siloed or large team, about who is delivering what, and when.
MHH: What are you looking for in a future role? Are there any dream companies you’d like to work for?
Amy: I'd love to work for a social-impact or mission-driven organization. I'm hoping to have an impact in copy and branding while also getting to dig into UX a bit.
MHH: What's something you know now that you wish you knew earlier on in your career?
Amy: There are tons of free and helpful online resources just a Google away! I'm doing a lot of self-taught UX work, and I would've started sooner if I'd known how accessible it can be.
Alexis Anderson (prev. Content & Operations Manager, Organic Marketing at 2U)
Open to in hybrid opportunities in Washington, D.C., New Jersey, New York, or Remote
MHH: Tell us briefly about your career thus far!
Alexis: I'm a seasoned Digital Marketing and Communications Professional with a decade of experience, currently serving as the Content & Operations Marketing Manager at 2U, Inc. I have a proven track record in leading cross-channel communications, crisis management, and successful project implementation, overseeing teams, and ensuring strategic alignment with brand goals.

MHH: What's something you know now that you wish you knew earlier on in your career?

Aditi Biswas (prev. Head of Content at 2070 Health)
Open to in office opportunities in Bengaluru
MHH: Tell us briefly about your career thus far!
Aditi: In the realm of B2B SaaS content, the need goes beyond mere writing; it demands a blend of sharpness, sophistication, and market-dominating copy. As a content marketer, staying three steps ahead is crucial to captivate, convert, and conquer. That's the expertise I bring to the table. I venture beyond traditional SEO and social media, transforming words from mundane to irresistibly engaging. With 12 years of experience in SEO content writing and over 6 years in B2B SaaS, I've guided brands in ideation, strategy, and execution, delivering impactful results.
MHH: In your most recent role, what was a valuable lesson you learned that you’ll take with you into your next role?
Aditi: In Healthcare/Health tech SEO, to succeed, you must implement strategies beyond SEO. This should combine influencer marketing, ABM marketing, podcasts, and paid ads. The focus should be on establishing trust.
Collaboration is key to success - a streamlined workflow with effective collaboration would help achieve faster results.
Listening to customer calls is a must.
MHH: What are you looking for in a future role? Are there any dream companies you’d like to work for?
Aditi: I am seeking a role that allows me to blend my creativity with strategic thinking to drive meaningful results. While I am particularly attracted to leading companies like Drift, Intercom, Semrush, Gong, Monday, Clickup and SaaSLabs, known for their innovation in the SaaS sector, I am also excited about the prospect of being a first mover in an emerging company. In such an environment, I can significantly impact the company's growth and success from the ground up.
MHH: What's something you know now that you wish you knew earlier on in your career?
Aditi: You need to ask the right and hard questions at every step to understand whether you are making the right decisions.
Nitesh Dutt (prev. Senior Copywriter at Vyond)
Open to Remote opportunities
MHH: Tell us briefly about your career thus far!
Nitesh: After beginning my career in sports media, I transitioned to the world of tech and marketing specifically as a copywriter. I've spent time in several different industries including smart home, video editing platforms, and a little bit of time at a B2B marketing agency.
MHH: In your most recent role, what was a valuable lesson you learned that you’ll take with you into your next role?
Nitesh: The feedback received from one stakeholder may not be aligned with another. Instead of trying to write copy to please both stakeholders, speak up and let the team know what's happening.
MHH: What are you looking for in a future role? Are there any dream companies you’d like to work for?
Nitesh: I'm looking to continue my growth as a copywriter and take on more of a leadership/mentorship role. I'd love to work for an EV company like Lucid, Rivian, or Tesla. Beyond that, I'm not opposed to join a company that combines sports and technology.
MHH: What's something you know now that you wish you knew earlier on in your career?
Nitesh: Your first draft doesn't have to be perfect. I used to get on myself for writing copy that would be reviewed and edited because I always felt my copy was the best. I know better now and that a first draft is rarely ready to be published.
Nur Habibah Saidi (Freelance Social Media Manager)

Rohit Nair (prev. Field Marketing Manager at Hubilo)
Open to Remote opportunities
MHH: Tell us briefly about your career thus far!
Rohit: A curious marketer with over 9 years of experience in marketing. My journey has been a combination of creating engaging campaigns, spinning stories that resonate, and generating leads that actually lead somewhere (pun intended)!
MHH: In your most recent role, what was a valuable lesson you learned that you’ll take with you into your next role?
Rohit: Don’t be afraid to try new things, it might not make sense - its okay to fail but fail fast and learn faster to build more engaging campaigns.
MHH: What are you looking for in a future role? Are there any dream companies you’d like to work for?
Rohit: I'm on a quest for something a bit more... permanent. I’m talking about a company that values stability as much as I do - a place where I can unpack my bags, decorate my desk, and really settle in. A company where the chairs don’t disappear when the music stops. Dream companies: SaaS/ Tech companies (Freshworks, SFDC, Adobe, Hubspot).

Rohit: Build a personal brand and don’t be afraid to voice your opinions in front of a leadership team.
Haydn Hall (prev. Social Strategist at Spin)
Open to Remote opportunities
MHH: Tell us briefly about your career thus far!
Haydn: After graduating from university, I threw myself into the deep end of social media management. Initially freelancing before joining an agency and progressing quickly through their ranks, I let my work speak for itself and had the opportunity to work with some of their biggest and most exciting clients as a result.
MHH: In your most recent role, what was a valuable lesson you learned that you’ll take with you into your next role?
Haydn: In organic social, it can be easy to conform to the boardroom (instead of your audience). If you can't track revenue directly from it then a lot of C-Suites will simply not get behind it. This results in overly corporate and frankly boring content. In my last role, I learnt to write strategies that inspired trust in the boardroom that enabled us agency to create exciting content and drive results.
MHH: What are you looking for in a future role? Are there any dream companies you’d like to work for?
Haydn: I want to work with brands that are as ambitious as I am. Brands that are willing to push the boundaries to create innovative, exciting and entertaining content.
MHH: What's something you know now that you wish you knew earlier on in your career?
Haydn: Understanding what works on social media is about understanding people. Why are they on social media? What do they do on it? How do they use it? When do they use it? Where are they likely to see your content? I think any strategy written from a position of understanding your audience is bound to be more effective than those that aren't.
Allyson Van Wagnen (prev. Corporate Communications Manager at FormAssembly)
Open to Remote opportunities
MHH: Tell us briefly about your career thus far!
Allyson: I have worked in PR/communications for more than 14 years, and have spent the last 8 years in the B2B tech/SaaS industry. I have a passion for corporate communications, media relations, and internal communications.
MHH: In your most recent role, what was a valuable lesson you learned that you’ll take with you into your next role?
Allyson: Always keep track of your wins! Whether it's for your next performance review, or you're looking for a new job, it's helpful to have a document that contains details of all of your wins (big and small).
MHH: What are you looking for in a future role? Are there any dream companies you’d like to work for?
Allyson: I'm looking for a role with a strategic communications team, and an executive team that really understands that value that communications professionals bring to an organization. Dream companies: Slack, monday.com, Salesforce.
MHH: What's something you know now that you wish you knew earlier on in your career?
Allyson: The importance of consistent communication with your team, including managing others. Not just managing down (your direct reports), but also managing up (your manager) and across (anyone you're working with on a project).
Megan Schiedel (prev. Senior Manager, Digital Marketing at Dentalcorp)
Open to hybrid opportunities in Toronto, ON, or Remote in Canada
MHH: Tell us briefly about your career thus far!
Megan: I thought I would be in advertising but the 2008/2009 recession had other plans! I pivoted into ecomm and digital marketing and cut my teeth at Hudson's Bay. I worked for a number of large retailers and companies to grow my skill set. About a year ago I took a risk and moved over to healthcare and was let go due to budget constraints. Here I am pivoting again and trying out freelance.
MHH: In your most recent role, what was a valuable lesson you learned that you’ll take with you into your next role?
Megan: Trust your instincts. There were some red flags during hiring and early days on the job that I wish I had not brushed off so lightly. I think my lesson is to recognize my worth and trust that the right fit will come along and not force anything.
MHH: What are you looking for in a future role? Are there any dream companies you’d like to work for?
Megan: In my future role I'm looking for mentorship. I now know I'm a motivated learner and would like to work with someone who sees that as a good thing rather than a threat.
MHH: What's something you know now that you wish you knew earlier on in your career?
Megan: Find mentorship. Having someone who's been around the block and can see your situation from a different perspective while still having your best interests at heart is golden.
Allison McMahon (prev. Strategic Communications and Events Director at TD Bank Group)
Open to hybrid opportunities for Relocation in North America or Remote
MHH: Tell us briefly about your career thus far!
Allison: I am a strategic communications and marketing leader with 18 years of experience across sectors like banking, professional services, and energy. I excel in translating business strategies into human-centric approaches that enhance both customer and employee experiences. Recognized for my innovative leadership and my award-winning expertise in event planning, I am dedicated to empathetic, results-driven solutions, and have become an invaluable advisor to senior leaders, driving transformative change and creating compelling organizational narratives.
MHH: In your most recent role, what was a valuable lesson you learned that you’ll take with you into your next role?
Allison: In my next role, I'll leverage the lesson that employees are an organization's greatest asset, focusing on leadership engagement to foster a culture of growth and harness their diverse talents for collective success.
I plan to continually engage stakeholders in the strategic process, understanding their needs to develop effective, comprehensive strategies that align with organizational goals and resonate deeply with all involved.
MHH: What are you looking for in a future role? Are there any dream companies you’d like to work for?
Allison: I seek an organization that recognizes the pivotal role of strategic communication in fostering engagement and growth. Ideally, a company undergoing transformation, needing an experienced leader to build a top-tier communications team. I'm drawn to progressive workplaces that embrace the evolution of traditional work structures and value innovative, outside-the-box thinking, particularly in enhancing both the employee and customer experience to drive further engagement.
MHH: What's something you know now that you wish you knew earlier on in your career?
Allison: One valuable insight I've gained over the years is the significance of building and nurturing relationships. When I started my career, I focused intensely on tasks and goals, but I've since learned that the connections you forge along the way are equally crucial. These relationships, both within and outside the organization, can offer support, insight, and opportunities that are not always apparent at first. Understanding the power of a strong professional network early on would have greatly enriched my career journey and decision-making processes.
Jamie Favreau Boudrie (Event Support Professional)
Open to hybrid opportunities in Detroit, MI, or Remote
MHH: Tell us briefly about your career thus far!
Jamie: I have a passion for improving and breaking down silos that don't want to be broken through employer brand and internal communications that improve the culture.
MHH: In your most recent role, what was a valuable lesson you learned that you’ll take with you into your next role?
Jamie: I learned it is almost impossible to turn a blue collar to white in my part time job.
MHH: What are you looking for in a future role? Are there any dream companies you’d like to work for?
Jamie: I would really love to work full time at Ilitch Sports and Entertainment, but if not - I am looking for an internal communications, employer brand and/or event marketing support position.

Hannah: I graduated in May from Arizona State University with degrees in Digital Marketing and Business Communications. In my career so far, I was a student worker for ASU, helping them with their prospective student social media channels. I also recently finished up an internship at a small agency, where I trafficked digital ads on to a variety of platforms and assisted with some media planning. I am passionate about marketing because I enjoy how the job can be a mix of strategy and creativity.
MHH: In your most recent role, what was a valuable lesson you learned that you’ll take with you into your next role?

MHH: What are you looking for in a future role? Are there any dream companies you’d like to work for?
