Last word – Juliet Bell

Juliet BELL

ARE YOU A BORN AND BRED GOLD COASTER? Yes. I spent the first 21 years of my life living in the same family home in Sorrento.

WHAT SCHOOL DID YOU GO TO? All Saints Anglican School. WHERE DO YOU WORK? I recently started as the Group Marketing Manager for Prestige Cars Group - Gold Coast Jaguar Land Rover, Porsche Centre Gold Coast and Gold Coast Car Clearance..

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN THIS POSITION AND WHAT’S THE BEST THING YOU HAVE DONE TO PROMOTE THE BRAND SO FAR? My highlight so far has been our Sportscar Together Day event at Porsche Centre Gold Coast, which was held on Saturday 5th June. I’m currently working on our marketing strategy to further showcase our team through our digital marketing. There is something special about working at Prestige Cars Group, and the people here are a big part of that. From the great leadership of Damien and Amanda Holley, to the passion and care that all of our sales and service team have for our customers.

WHAT BRAND OF CAR DO YOU LIKE THE MOST? That’s like picking your favourite child! But if I had to choose, I would say my favourite car is the new Porsche Taycan Turbo S. Not only are electric vehicles the way of the future, but Porsche has done a superb job creating the first ever electric sports car. DID YOU EVER THINK THAT YOU WOULD BE DOING WHAT YOU ARE NOW? I’ve always had a passion for marketing, and have always aspired to work for a luxury brand. I never imagined though, that I would be fortunate enough to market some of the most luxurious car brands on the Gold Coast. I count myself very lucky to be able to work with such incredible brands, while enjoying the amazing Gold Coast lifestyle. THE PEOPLE IMPORTANT TO YOU ARE? My friends and family. THE KEY TO HAPPINESS? Self-love and self-responsibility. When you take responsibility for yourself, you become the most powerful. We are all responsible for our reactions, moods and thoughts, and when you have self-responsibility you realise that whatever happens in your life, you have the power to make changes to get a different outcome. PEOPLE WHO KNOW YOU, KNOW THAT I LOVE….? My cat Cosmo who is a Ragdoll/Himalayan cross. She’s a big girl with a big personality. THE BEST ADVICE YOU EVER RECEIVED? Fly with the eagles, or swim with the ducks. The people you surround yourself with will affect the way you think, act and grow. If you want to be successful, surround yourself with other passionate and successful people. THOUGHTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA? Social Media plays a crucial role in connecting people and developing relationships. Gone are the days of posting pretty pictures, social media is so much more than that. It not only allows businesses to sell products, connect with customers, and grow relationships, but it also allows everyday users a voice, a way to access information and communicate with our friends and family. THE MEANING OF LIFE IS… To find your purpose/passion and live in the present. Do what you’re passionate about and make the most of everyday! WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT LIVING AND WORKING ON THE GOLD COAST? What’s not to love about living on the Gold Coast? I am a true advocate for the Gold Coast, I believe it’s the best place to work, live and study. You’ve got the beach to the east, the hinterland to the west, Brisbane City to the north and Byron Bay to the south, all within an hour or so drive. Not to mention we have about 300 days of sunshine per year, allowing us to make the most of our weekends.
