We Turn Talent into Storytellers. And Storytellers into Leaders.
Â
From the boardroom to the stadium, from rising stars to seasoned execs, our frameworks blend blockbuster storytelling with personal brand strategy to help people lead with authenticity, clarity, and impact.
From Fantasy to Real-Life Impact
“Every great story, on screen, on stage, or in real life, starts with identity.”
Hello. I’m Marc Maley, and for over 25 years I’ve been helping global audiences fall in love with characters, franchises, and brands that shaped generations, Harry Potter, Disney, Marvel.
We bring that same emotional and narrative power into the real world.
From the big screen to the boardroom, I work with public figures, athletes, authors, and high-impact professionals to help them unlock their story, own their identity, and lead with authenticity.
Through My Brand Academy, I partner with global organisations, guiding talent at every level to develop personal brands that drive performance, inspire culture, and scale influence.
Because here’s what I’ve learned:
Storytelling isn’t just a creative skill, it’s a strategic advantage.
And when people learn to tell their story with clarity and purpose, they don’t just show up differently. They lead differently.
Your career is a story. I help you tell it right.
My Origin StoryThe My Brand Academy Method.
Â
At My Brand Academy, we believe the most powerful brands don’t start with logos or job titles, they begin with stories.
We bring the storytelling framework principles that helped shape the world’s most beloved entertainment franchises and characters, and now apply them to real people, in real life.
That’s the connective tissue.
The same storytelling DNA that made millions fall in love with fictional heroes now helps individuals from any background or skill set connect with their own story, and as importantly with others, in a way that’s deeply human and powerfully authentic.
Through emotions, connection, and familiar storytelling narrative frameworks we all connect with, we lower defences, spark imagination, and shift people from self-doubt to self-belief.
That’s when one truly begin to listen, to see, and to evolve.
We meet people where they are, and help them see who they can become. because every career is a story, and every successful leader starts with their unique identity.
This is the moment where personal development becomes transformation.
This is the power of storytelling, reframed for the modern workplace.
