St Julians School

Following the completion of the IB programme at St. Julian’s, Giulia de Oliveira Camargo embarked on a BA in Communication and Digital Media at IE University in Spain. A skilled marketeer, she is currently Product Marketing Lead at StudentFinance. I take care of Marketing, from product creation to strategy, all the way to how the brand is communicated externally. I am currently building the marketing function from the ground up. We are going through a rebranding phase, which I am heading, and launching a new product. I am ensuring this new product aligns with the expectations of the market. I also do a lot of consulting. I have been at a couple of Edtech startups, always in the same role: building marketing from the beginning, bringing the human element to the product being communicated, and ensuring non-technical people can understand it.

After graduating from St. Julian’s, Pedro Lucas is pursuing his studies at Instituto Superior Técnico, where he specialises in Naval Engineering. He plays rugby for Clube de Rugby do Técnico and represents the Portuguese National Team, fondly known as Os Lobos. Pedro was in the team selected to go to the 2023 Rugby World Cup. The team achieved its first-ever tournament victory, marking a significant milestone for Portuguese Rugby.

After completing the IB programme at St. Julian’s, Benedita embarked on a BA in Political Science and International Relations at Universidade Católica Portuguesa, which led her to win a scholarship to study a semester in Boulder, Colorado. She has a Masters in Management and Social Entrepreneurship from Nova School of Business and Economics. She currently serves as a Partner and Head Strategist at TTouch, a creative agency focused on developing ideas that generate a positive societal impact. This is the first creative agency dedicated to social and environmental impact in Portugal, which aligns perfectly with my background in sustainability. They needed expertise in this area, and I was seeking a career shift towards creativity, even considering a move to London. I initially joined as a copywriter, but it quickly became clear that my strengths were more strategic. I thrive on structuring what is apparently chaotic. At TTouch, I have the opportunity to shape creative briefings, starting with gathering information from clients and studying the relevant issues. I then create a concept to present to the creative team so that they can transform it into concrete ideas. At the end of the day, I’m responsible for the framework in which the creatives can brainstorm. Another significant part of my job involves educating clients about genuine sustainability practices, lobbying them to “walk the walk” rather than just “talk the talk.” Influencing our clients remains a major aspect of our work, comprising about 80% of what we do.
