Olivia Marocco
Olivia is the founder and editor-in-chief of Brand You Magazine and SHOWTIME. She is of both English and French heritage, a multi-business owner and has over 20 years’ experience as a photographer working with senior professionals and executives from global communications, marketing & PR agencies.
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. It took a pandemic lockdown to find the time for the idea to grow and the space for it to come to fruition!
In just three years, Brand You Magazine has risen as a leading authority in the female entrepreneurship media landscape, swiftly claiming the top spot as the premier female-led business publication in the UK. Olivia established Brand You Magazine with dual missions at its core: to inspire and educate readers throughout their brand-building journey and to serve as a reputable media platform for female experts to amplify their visibility and credibility.
