    In this episode of Can I Buy You a Coffee?, Ebony welcomes ⁠Hannah Neumann⁠, a beauty marketing leader and the woman who started it all for Ebony as her very first mentor. In a full-circle moment, the tables turn and Ebony finally gets to share Hannah's wisdom with the whole community. Hannah's career has taken her from television at Channel Seven in Adelaide, to landing in London with no job and no plan, to falling head over heels for the beauty industry at one of the UK's biggest beauty retailers.

Equal parts brand lover and data devotee, Hannah is one of the most generous, switched-on people in the industry and a passionate advocate for building up the next generation of women in marketing. In this episode, we cover: What actually makes a great mentor, and how to be a mentee worth saying yes to Why standing out in beauty isn't about the "Devil Wears Prada" glamour How to break into the beauty industry  Behind the scenes of building a skincare product The career risks that didn't make sense on paper When roles are actually worth taking a pay cut Follow ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ebony⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Melbourne Social Co ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on socials!
