Me and my mentor

Sara Holt, head of marketing, Classic FM, LBC and Galaxy, Global Radio

My mentor is David Abraham, chief executive of UKTV. I worked with him there as well as for St Luke's, the creative ad agency he founded, although after he had left.

From him I learned how to build and invest in innovative and strong brands, which is hard in media. When I joined UKTV it was launching Dave and rewriting the book on how to launch a media brand.

David taught me the importance of having courage in your convictions, being ambitious and putting your money where your mouth is.
