In this episode of No Clubs Required, we sit down with Mariana Loose, Chief Marketing Officer at Alston & Bird, for a candid conversation about doing the hard work, advocating for yourself and your clients, and taking initiative.
A legal marketing lifer, Mariana has spent more than 25 years in law firms of all sizes and specialties. We talk about taking career development into your own hands, the shifting dynamics between marketing and business development, and how to advocate for yourself in a traditionally rigid professional structure.
If you’ve ever had to explain your value to a room full of attorneys or wondered how to keep evolving in a field that’s constantly shifting, this episode is for you. Mariana’s story is a testament to the power of curiosity, initiative, and intentional growth—no clubs required.
What is No Clubs Required?
Welcome to "No Clubs Required," a groundbreaking podcast that pairs with our book that aims to dismantle the old-school notion that business deals and career advancements are best made on golf courses and in traditional boys' clubs. Each episode features advice from trailblazing women—from fierce lawyers, ambitious corporate execs, forward-thinking general counsel, and beyond. Together, we explore how women can become rainmakers and achieve success by forging their own paths, distinct from the tactics traditionally employed by men.
