Aude Hillion, ‘From Catz to Consulting: Navigating a Brand & Strategy Career’
St Catherine’s College proudly presents the first talk in the Michaelmas edition of ‘Catz In Conversation’ – our all-new webinar series by alumni, for everyone.
On Tuesday, 24th November, Aude Hillion (2013, Modern Languages) will present a Career Special, drawing on her professional journey into global brand consultancy and significant early-career milestones. Combining practical insights with case studies and a forward-looking view of upcoming opportunities, this session will be valuable for students, recent alumni, and anyone exploring brand strategy and consulting.
After leaving Catz, Aude joined Prophet – a leading global brand consultancy. Their motto is ‘Uncommon Growth’, a term which encapsulates their bold creative thinking and future-forward strategic direction. In this talk, Aude will reflect on the logistics of transitioning from Catz to a strategic consulting role: what skills and impressions make a difference for applicants, how to engage with hiring processes, and how to make a competitive internship application alongside competing university deadlines?
We are excited to announce that this webinar comes with an exciting opportunity attached, courtesy of Prophet. Attendees will learn about the Internship Workshop that will land at Catz in February 2026, where the winning participants will be shortlisted for a 2.5-month Summer Internship with Prophet.
