CAREERS: Penny Brand - Mascots, Bribery and 60+ Skydives
Join Carmen as she chats with Penny Brand, Director of Tourism Development at Gate 7.
Penny has seen some things! Bribing her way across borders as a tour guide in Europe, strapping ice packs to her chest as a mascot at Sea World, getting her solo skydiving ticket and opening a 280 room hostel.
Penny is a delight and an open book, breaking down what destination marketing actually is, her role as Director of Tourism Development, rounded out with a sprinkling of career advice.
