For 18 years I introduced myself as somebody from somewhere. The work was always credited and I was never sitting in a corner feeling unseen about it. Being the marketing lead at a brand people already love is a genuinely great place to stand: the brand answers the first three questions for you, and everyone in the room knows roughly what you are about before you speak.&nbsp;<br />

Last Monday, hours after Victoria Police confirmed it was investigating an alleged sexual assault following an incident at the hotel where the Sydney Swans were staying, the club&rsquo;s CEO Matthew Pavlich stood in front of reporters and said he was &ldquo;shocked and disappointed&rdquo; that they had &ldquo;found themselves in this situation&rdquo;.<br />

Podcasting is the easiest form of content to start and the hardest one to succeed at.&nbsp;<br />
