About Daryl
Daryl Fielding is a portfolio NED who co-founded and spent eight years as CEO of The Marketing Academy Foundation, helping talented young adults from challenging backgrounds to start their marketing careers.
Daryl also supports three other Boards: First Give, Academy of Ancient Music, and as Non-Executive Director at the Association of Chartered and Certified Accountants.
In 2022, her book, The Brand Book, came out, offering a “how to do it” guide to brand strategy and implementation. This bestseller draws from her exceptional career working with high profile brands, including Vodafone, Cadbury, Milka, The Independent, Dove, Ford, The Labour Party and Vauxhall. During her tenure as Managing Partner at Ogilvy, Daryl spearheaded brand strategy and communications, which included the much-acclaimed Campaign for Real Beauty with Dove.
Unusually, she has held senior roles in agencies, brand owners and media owner organisations. She now also consults on branding and marketing and is hatching a plan for a new business this autumn.
