Press release -
Women in Business – Monthly "Salon Talk" with Philippa Snare, CMO, Microsoft UK on June 6th at 4pm
This month we have invited Philippa Snare to discuss digital innovation in business. As chief marketing officer at Microsoft UK, Philippa’s remit covers consumer and commercial marketing communications, internal communications, digital platform, data analytics, customer relationship management and agency management within the marketing and operations division.
Citizenship is high on the agenda, she says that it is part of every Microsoft employee’s brief to build it into their day-to-day work, as well as participate in volunteering. While Microsoft may be a US business, she says it ‘cares and invests a huge amount of time, energy, expertise and resource’ in every market in which it operates.
This includes project work for underprivileged children, schools, tech start-ups and the government. Most recently, Snare has been participating in a project aimed at getting people back into work, by helping them assess their skills, develop new ones and access mentors to make them employable in the digital world.
Althought she has spent a long time at Microsoft she isn’t by any means a ‘Microsoft lifer’ - ’I’ll move on when I feel the time is right. Like a relationship, there has to be a balance between what I’m giving and getting, and if I’m not learning and stretching [myself], I’ll find somewhere else to play.’

Like Minds unites innovators, thinkers and doers together through its series of thought leadership events and co-working spaces.
We were founded in August 2009 amidst the boom of Social Media, where communication was drastically changing, and knowledge was overflowing – creating both the opportunity and the necessity for us to act and turn our ideas into reality. Our mission is to create a platform where participants can join fellow like minds in order to inspire one another and make those ideas happen, all on a level that is accessible both financially and structurally.
“Like Minds is an intellectual playground where thinkers, strategists, agents provocateurs, innovators, challengers and mavericks can open up, share ideas and be inspired in a warm, welcoming and world-wide environment. If you haven’t been, go. You’ll see the future there; most likely, yours.”Robert Bean, The Robert Bean Branding Company
