About Bianca Bass | Marketing Leader & Strategic Advisor

my story

#writing

#journalism

#startingout

I grew up wanting to be a writer. My favourite childhood hobby was being “Editor-in-Chief” of my Microsoft Word 95, clip art-infused magazine called Heroine. After receiving countless rejection letters, I fulfilled my dream of interning at British Vogue, GQ, The Times, and NYLON Magazine in New York. Having such formative experiences as a teenager sharpened my perspective on the world of work and commerce.

#teambuilding

At 23, I gained my first leadership role leading a brand and content team at TripAdvisor, the world’s biggest travel website. After being promoted to become the company’s youngest senior manager, I realised how much I loved working with teams to realise their potential. Learning more about leadership, motivating others, and communication continues to be my favourite thing about my career.

#boardadvisory

Determined to learn more about marketing’s commercial impact, I joined the startup world in 2017. I've transformed a building site into one of London’s top co-working brands, led investor relations for £50m+ investment rounds and teams of 50+ employees. Since 2021, I’ve held a number of C-level roles in fintech. At 29, I became the youngest female board member of an FCA-regulated company, helping scale 3S Money from 30 to 200 employees and launch in five international markets.

I’m proudly British-Brazilian and state school-educated. What motivates me most is extending the table and creating opportunities for others. In my commitment to sharing as much knowledge as possible, I’ve delivered talks at Google, PwC, ITN, and London Business School, and coached over 100 marketers internationally. Outside of work, I’m a UN Women UK delegate and completing a Master’s in Psychology and Neuroscience of Mental Health at King’s College London.
