Who we are

Ailana

Ailana founded Story in June 2008. In twelve
years of FMCG marketing she has promoted
everything from the ATP tennis tour to Alcatel
mobile phones and Fructis shampoo. Her most inspired early career move was side-stepping recruitment consultants and just writing directly to innocent to persuade them to give her a job. It worked and she ended up heading up the PR there for six years, working closely with the marketing team to build one of the best drink brands in town.

Claire

Claire has championed all sorts of fantastic food products ranging from well-known brands like Leiths, Louis Latour, Paul bakeries, Booths, Farmhouse Fare and innocent (where she worked with Ailana for three years) to generic campaigns for British beetroot and Cheshire Cheese. A fluent French speaker, she has also worked with some of France's top chefs on the French lifestyle show Vive La France. Passionate about delivering top quality coverage, Claire never lets a story go once she's put her mind to it.

Susannah

Susannah has worked with luxury food brands such as Harvey Nichols Foodmarket and Poilâne bakery; spirits such as: Snow Queen Vodka and Rémy Martin. Her restaurant credentials are impeccable including Gaucho Restaurants, Asia de Cuba, Suka, Bumpkin, Aubaine, Momo, Harvey Nichols restaurants, VPMG and The Marc Group. Susannah has also worked on hotels such as The Mandeville and re-launching The Langham, London in 2009.

Hannah

Hannah has worked with iconic fashion brands such as Betsey Johnson, Amaya Arzuaga, Orla Kiely and Whistles. She has organised international events and continues to work closely with her global fashion and music contacts. Her fanzine Splendid! created a stir in East London and she has brought her love of design and words to a new sector.
