Describe yourself in three words.
Creative, tenacious, fun.

How would you define marketing?
Identifying, anticipating and satisfying consumer needs in a way that is relevant to them.

What would you be if you weren't a brand manager?
A leading lady on Broadway.

What advice would you give someone starting their marketing career today?
Always have the consumer front of mind in whatever you do.

If you weren't you, who would you be?
Leona Lewis, to have her voice.

What's your favourite bar or restaurant?
You can't beat peri peri chicken at Nando's.

What can't you live without?
Singing.

If you were a brand, what would you be?
Disney, because it's creative, imaginative and all about having fun.

What is your favourite campaign or slogan?
'The Lynx effect' - it is completely spot on with its insight into the way men think. Its advertising is quite risky, engaging and fun, with exactly the right level of humour for its target audience.

Which advertising campaign do you wish that you had commissioned?
The T-Mobile Liverpool Street Station dance. I love the reality of it, so you can see the real reactions of the people involved, and it's really attention grabbing. Also, I would have loved to have taken part in it.

Musical theatre.

Do you speak any other languages?
No, sadly.

What makes you angry?
Dirty clothes lying in a pile on the floor next to the washing machine.

If you could get tickets to any event, what would it be?
The Oscars - a VIP pass.

What's your greatest ambition?
To have few, or no, regrets.

If you had three wishes, what would they be?
To have a weekend apartment in New York overlooking Central Park; to land a leading role in a Broadway show; and to win the lottery so I could set my family up for life.

When was your finest hour?
Being asked to be godmother to my best friend's baby.
