Olivia Marocco
Olivia is the founder and Editor-in-Chief of Brand You Magazine, a pioneering media platform dedicated to celebrating and championing female entrepreneurs. With both English and French heritage, Olivia’s career spans over two decades, including a successful 20-year tenure as a professional photographer working with senior executives and global brands in the communications, marketing and events industries.
Her move into publishing began in 2020, after meeting so many champions of small businesses and creative female entrepreneurs and listening to their shared experiences and challenges in creating their own business identities, she launched Brand You Magazine — now recognised as the UK’s premier female-led business publication. The magazine was built on a mission to inspire, educate and elevate women in business, offering them a credible platform to amplify their voices, showcase their expertise and claim their place in the media spotlight.
Olivia’s instinct for creating opportunity didn’t stop at print. In May 2024, she expanded her vision with the launch of SHOWTIME, the magazine’s flagship yearly in-person event. More than just a business conference, SHOWTIME is a media and brand-building coup — uniting trailblazing female entrepreneurs, publicists, TV and radio personalities, journalists, editors and brand experts under one roof. It’s an environment Olivia masterfully curates to spark connections, amplify brands and help attendees step boldly into their next level.
A passionate advocate for female visibility, Olivia also created Brand You Connect, a community platform designed to foster meaningful collaborations, conversations and connections between women who are building standout brands and redefining what modern entrepreneurship looks like.
Olivia is frequently invited to host or speak on industry panels, contribute to expert discussions and guest on podcasts. She has co-authored a business book, been published in Startups Magazine, Global Woman and Brand You, and has served as a judge for the prestigious Best Business Women Awards for two consecutive years — having also been a finalist at several other industry awards herself.
She lives in the Hampshire countryside, where she finds balance between her dynamic business life and her love of nature, good food and travel. An adventurous spirit at heart, she’s happiest exploring new destinations and discovering hidden gems around the world.
Whether behind the lens, on a stage or in print, Olivia’s mission remains the same: to help women in business be seen, heard and celebrated.
