‘The build becomes very natural’: Shameless co-founders talk growth and the future
After expanding its leadership team last month, Shameless Media has managed to strengthen its business and diversify its portfolio exponentially. Reflecting on the company’s growth and talking future possibilities, co-founders Zara McDonald and Michelle Andrews sat down with Mumbrella’s Lauren McNamara.
Last month, the female-founded youth-focused media company announced a number of promotions and new hires to strengthen its team. And it has done exactly that.
Former marketing and partnerships director Rhiannon Joyce was promoted to head of business development; ex-Broadsheet talent Emma Beevor joined to replace Joyce’s partnerships role; Emily Li joined as content coordinator; Sohani Goonetillake was promoted to multimedia producer; and London-based Lucy Hunt relocated to Melbourne to join as head of podcasts.
Now, with 14 full time staff members, as well as engagement with casuals and contractors, the company is going from strength to strength.
