Alison Rice - Allure Media

09/27/18 • 44 min

Alison Rice is a bit of a unicorn in the digital media world – she's kind, humble, and above all, real. If you're not in media-land, you may not know her by name, but we’re sure you know her work. Alison is the Group Publisher of Allure Media's Women's Lifestyle Division, and oversees the digital brands Who What Wear, Byrdie Beauty, Pop Sugar and My Domaine.

Today’s conversation is not one of entrepreneurship, or of a business that was birthed in the golden age of Instagram, but it is a story of passion, dedication and hustle, and a lesson in making your dreams come true. We sat down with Alison recently to chat about how a girl from Western Sydney who failed her HSC, has become one of the most influential women in the Australian media landscape today.

Laura Foley - Bali Body

In 2014, Laura Foley quit her day job and moved to Bali with her partner in search of inspiration. Without having to look too far afield, Laura realised she was already onto a winning business idea – vegan and all-natural tanning oils that she was blending and using herself. Despite not having a business or marketing background, Laura started out by gifting her oils to influencers who fell in love with the product and soon enough, the Bali Body brand was born.

With a cult following around the globe and an Instagram page that will make you want to chase the sun all year long, Bali Body is the true embodiment of what it means to take a simple idea and turn it into a beauty brand must have.
