MediaCom Emily Trenouth biography

Emily Trenouth started her career working in Financial Services. However, whilst blogging as a creative outlet she recognized the opportunity for bloggers and influencers to collaborate with brands. 

In early 2016 Emily swapped Financial Services for influencer marketing and joined Takumi - one of the UK’s first influencer platforms. 

After leaving Takumi Emily worked with influencer & content marketplace TRIBE to help launch first their UK operation and then their US offering.

In November last year Emily returned to the UK and  joined MediaCom as Head of Influencer Marketing . Emily tells me influencer marketing is MediaCom's fastest growing division within content marketing.

Her role is to lead the Influencer Marketing offering for both UK & Worldwide clients such as Coca Cola, Mars, LVMH, and Sky.
