Welcome to My Brand Academy!

I’m Marc Maley, and for over 20 years, I’ve been fortunate enough to shape the marketing strategies behind some of the world’s most iconic brands like Harry Potter, Disney, and Marvel.This evolved into crafting personalised brand strategies for global leaders, public figures, founders, and executives.

 

My Journey

 
I started in entertainment marketing, leading global strategies at firms like Think Jam and consulting for companies like Penguin Random House and TikTok. My role was to uncover the stories that would captivate audiences and build brand loyalty. I developed frameworks that made billion-dollar franchises resonate on a personal level. But as I moved through these spaces, I realised something crucial—while I loved working with major corporations, my true passion was helping people shape their own stories.
 

The Shift to Personal Brands

 
Over the years, my Personal Brand clients have said, "If only I had known these strategies earlier." That’s why I launched My Brand Academy—to democratise the branding frameworks I’ve used for global leaders and entertainment giants. I wanted to offer a step-by-step roadmap to individuals at every stage of their careers, whether you’re a graduate stepping into the workforce or an executive refining your leadership presence.
 

Why My Brand Academy Exists

 
At My Brand Academy, we empower you to craft a personal brand that doesn’t just get you noticed but helps you stand out. Personal branding isn’t about creating a facade; it’s about authentically telling your story in a way that drives influence and success. That’s why we offer tiered programs, like the Career Catalyst Course for early-career professionals and the Brand Builder Blueprint for executives. Each course is designed to help you create a unique, impactful brand that reflects who you are and where you want to go.
 

My Approach

 
The personal brand strategy I teach is rooted in storytelling—the same storytelling that’s made icons out of global brands. You have a unique narrative that, when uncovered, can propel you forward in your career. It’s about more than just self-promotion; it’s about aligning your personal brand with your values and goals, creating a consistent message that resonates with your audience, whether that’s employers, peers, or followers.
