This is part of a video series for the Asia-Pacific Power List 2022, created in partnership with Twitter as part of their global #LeadersforGood initiative.

As VP of marketing for Optus, Melissa Hopkins has been instrumental in the Australian telco’s efforts to become a “fabric brand” in Australia — one that is part of the fabric of everyday life — and shaping the brand’s overall optimism and memorability.

She believes the best brands and marketers are the ones that take risks, have a cause, and strive to be and do better.
