On todays show Megan speaks about how she built her brand Live to Smile, elements within her career path to date and marketing herself. Thanks to Megan for her transparency of everything she shares in this conversation. I really enjoyed recording this podcast, and I am sure you are going to enjoy listening to Megan. This was recorded before Isolation, yet I know you will still be able to learn, and utilise content from this podcast
Megan qualified from the University of Portsmouth in 2010 with a BSc degree in Dental Hygiene and Dental Therapy. She has since developed her own dental brand #LIVETOSMILE. Where by she utilise social media and online marketing to attract new patients, focusing on teeth whitening treatments, a part of dentistry she has discovered a real passion for.
#LIVETOSMILE has since been introduced into three different dental practices one being on the famous Harley Street in London. Subsequently Megan was asked by the global brand Philips in 2017 to represent them as a key opinion leader. Megan has since been working closely with Philips to help raise awareness of the issues surrounding illegal teeth whitening including featuring in numerous documentaries with the BBC. In addition teaching Philips whitening treatments to DH&DT across the UK, helping to uplift and inspire DH&DT’s.
Megan also works with the prestigious toothpaste brand Regenerate as a KOL helping to raise awareness to the consumer on acid erosion. This has lead to exciting opportunities and features in lots of beauty press and events. Including a world wide feature in Virgin Atlantic’s inflight magazine.
Megan has recently launched her latest project #LIVETOSMILE Dental Beauty Box. Helping to educate and inspire the public when purchasing their dental products. Providing them with the dental products they need combined with beauty products they want, all delivered to their door in a bespoke reusable pink beauty box.
