Her Start, Creating Careers for Young Women in Marketing, Tech and More.
About this Event
Her Start Bristol: Breakfast with Bristol's Trailblazers
Women in creative, tech and marketing are underrepresented. Not because the talent isn't there, because the doors aren't open early enough.
Her Start is changing that. And this is our first event.
Join us for breakfast at We The Curious on 2 July, and meet the next generation of Bristol's creative, tech and marketing talent. Our founding ambassadors, young women already building careers through apprenticeships in IT, content creation and multi-channel marketing, will be on the panel to share their stories, answer your questions and show you exactly what backing young women from the start looks like in practice.
If you're a Bristol employer who wants to connect with ambitious young women ready to start their career: this morning is for you.
What to expect Doors open at 8am for breakfast and networking. The panel kicks off at 8:30am and we'll wrap up by 10am. Relaxed, real and worth your time.
Meet the Her Start - Founding Ambassadors:
Her Start launches with three founding ambassadors: women already building careers in creative, tech and marketing through apprenticeships. Each brings a different story, a different discipline and a different reason to be part of this.
Chloe Pavey, Talking Stick Digital.
Chloe joined Talking Stick Digital as an apprentice and was handed real responsibility from day one. Rather than filler tasks, she was given genuine clients and true ownership of her work, collaborating directly with senior colleagues, including both managing directors, who invested seriously in her growth.
She describes the culture at TSD as one where progression is actively supported, and her own trajectory reflects that. Just seven months after completing her apprenticeship, Chloe was promoted to Senior Account Executive and won PA's Multi-Channel Marketing Apprentice of the Year. She is exactly the kind of professional Her Start exists to create.
Daphne Kalaitzis, SpiderGroup
Daphne is a content creator with a rare combination of creative instinct and analytical rigour. At SpiderGroup, she has taken full ownership of content across multiple client accounts. from planning and production through to performance reporting.
Daphne won PA Content Creator Apprentice of the Year, noting that her video work demonstrates a strong understanding of pacing, structure and audience engagement. What sets Daphne apart is that she does not just create and move on. She measures what works, adjusts what does not, and brings fresh ideas consistently, keeping content timely and on-brand across different client industries.
Laila Ba, Triangle Networks
Laila is building her career in IT and won the PA IT Apprentice of the Year. She's described by her employer at Triangle Networks as someone who rises to every challenge with enthusiasm and resilience.
A natural learner, she brings genuine curiosity to every task, always asking why, never satisfied with surface-level understanding. Her colleagues highlight her ability to build strong working relationships quickly and contribute meaningfully to a team from the start. As a founding ambassador, Laila represents what is possible when a young woman is placed in an environment that believes in her.
