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 which supports clients to achieve ‘uncommon growth’ across business, brand, and culture challenges.
In this talk, Aude will share an overview of Prophet’s work, discuss specific client case studies, and review the process of transitioning from Catz to a strategic consulting role.
Attendees will also learn about an Internship Case Study Workshop hosted by Prophet next term. The winning workshop participants will be shortlisted to apply for a 2.5-month Summer Internship in 2026.
Aude will be joined by the Senior Recruitment Manager at Prophet, Bonnie.
